The Harbour Of Tromso Considered The Northernmost City In The World Editorial Image

The city is home to the world`s northernmost university and also houses the northernmost botanical garden and planetarium. The compact city centre has the biggest concentration of historic wooden houses north of Trondheim, and they co-exist with modern architecture. The houses date from 1789 to 1904, when building wooden houses was banned in the city centre, as in several other Norwegian cities. The oldest house in Tromso is Skansen, built in 1789 on the remains of a 13th-century turf rampart. Tromso, Norway, Europe
