Reviews from Real Guests:

carcartravel: The most northerly Catholic church in the world, is the Tromso? If you don't drive, you can take the bus, but I choose to walk slowly, by the city center port, the coast, then bridge straight, you can see the church. The church is not big, because it is not open when going, the front is glass, you can look in, no special, then surrounded the church and went around, the back is stained glass window, with snow on the ground, good.
