Discover the rich history and traditions of the Sámi people on a guided walking tour in Tromsø. Learn about Sámi mythology and the wisdom of the Arctic from your guide.
Step into Tromsø’s oldest streets and experience the city through the intertwined histories of Norwegians and Sámi people.
Learn how Tromsø grew from a small fishing village into the gateway to the Arctic, and how that transformation shaped the cultural and historical city we see today. Along the way, you’ll learn about Sámi culture in an interactive way and receive a full introduction to Sámi mythology from a Sámi culture bearer who grew up learning these stories as his ancestors did. This is a tour for those who want to hear and learn from someone with an educational background and extensive experience in teaching.
By the end of the tour, you’ll understand Tromsø not just as a city, but as a meeting point of cultures, stories, and Arctic resilience.
