Tromso June 26 from Viking Star

Day in Tromso: It's a pretty big city for this part of Norway, and has a bit more youthful feel to it, a large number of wooden houses, the northernmost botanical garden in the world and, I think, the world's northernmost brewery. It was a nice port since smallish cruise ships could dock pretty close to center city, making exploration and shopping easy. Bigger ships dock on the other side of Tromso bridge and shuttle their passengers to center city. Where we docked had a tourist information center directly across the way plus a couple museums within easy walking distance. The weather info posted on the Viking Daily read "sunny, 59 degrees, the sun does not set." After Tromso we had our last day at sea.

I took a walk along the waterfront. Here's harbor at Tromso with cathedral across the bridge.  Funicular was also over there.

One square near the southern cruise dock was a happening place.

I'm not much of a shopper, but these booties at a kiosk caught my eye.
