), a cool 400km north of the Arctic Circle, is northern Norway's
most significant city with, among other superlatives, the world's northernmost cathedral,
breweryandbotanicgarden.Itsbusyclubsandpubs-morepercapitathaninanyotherNor-
wegian town - owe much to the university (another northernmost) and its students. In sum-
mer, Tromsø's a base for round-the-clock, 24-hour daylight activity. Once the first snows
fall, the locals slip on their skis or snowshoes, head out of town and gaze skywards for a
glimpse of the northern lights.
