About
Quick facts: Spanning 1,036 meters, this bridge links Tromsøya island with the mainland. It serves as a crucial transport route, with more than 7,000 vehicles crossing daily.
Highlights: The broad view from the bridge provides a panoramic vista where the Arctic Cathedral and snow-covered mountains frame the horizon beautifully. During the polar night, the bridge’s lights reflect on the ice-covered waters, producing a captivating glow.
Insider tips
- Dress in layered, windproof clothing due to Arctic chill and winds on the bridge.
- Optimal photo spots are at the southern end facing the Arctic Cathedral and the northern end for mountain views.
- Avoid midday in summer when tourists crowd the pedestrian bridges; early morning offers quiet and better light.
- Bring a tripod if you want long-exposure shots of lights reflecting on the water during night or polar night season.
