Your shore excursion begins at the quay where your guide will take you to the Polar Museum. On the way there you'll visit the statue of Roald Amundsen, the hunting monument, and the marketplace, where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the sound and the Arctic Cathedral.

The Polar Museum is located in an old customs house from the 1830s and features exhibits from Norway's proud polar history; including the Arctic Ocean hunt and numerous polar expeditions. You will also see a film of the polar region made by the Arctic hunters. The tour continues to Tromso's main street, Storgaten, and on to the Beer Hall (Olhallen), Tromso's oldest pub, which was a popular meeting place for fishermen, hunters and polar explorers. Here, you can taste beer from the world's northernmost brewery, Mack, while one of the local heroes tells stories about the old days.
