Tromsø, a cool 400km north of the Arctic Circle, is northern Norway's most signi-
ficant city with, among other superlatives, the world's northernmost cathedral,
brewery and botanical garden. Its busy clubs and pubs - more per capita than in
any other Norwegian town - owe much to the university (another northernmost)
and its students. In summer, Tromsø's a base for round-the-clock, 24-hour day-
light 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.
