Message from Sølveig Tootly

This free and easily accessible viewpoint is one of Tromsø’s best-kept secrets, perfect for sunset or night photography. Simply walk down to the water’s edge near the Sixt Rent a Car office at the base of the bridge, and you’ll be treated to a sweeping panorama of the city, fjord, and surrounding mountains.

From here, the Tromsø Bridge stretches elegantly across the fjord, with the iconic Arctic Cathedral glowing softly at the far end. Behind it, the rugged mountains rise dramatically, while below, city lights shimmer on the dark Arctic waters, reflecting a perfect blend of urban charm and wild nature.

📸 Best time: Sunset or night-time for dramatic lighting and reflections.
💡 Tip: Bring a tripod if you’re into night photography—it’s one of the best cityscape views in Tromsø.

🧭 Nearby: Just a short walk from the city center, cafes, and Tromsø Havn.
