Description

Enjoy an orientation drive around the scenic island city of Tromsø and tour the world’s second-northernmost brewery. Tromsø has many quirky superlatives going for it: largest Norwegian city by area thanks to straddling 627 islands, starting point for enough polar expeditions to be called the Gateway to the Arctic, unscathed survivor of WWII’s property destruction, site of the world’s northernmost university, and fun-loving home to more pubs per capita than most towns anywhere. During your spin around Tromso Island, you’ll learn even more about it as you drive through the university area, see the German battleship Tirpitz sunk by the Brits in 1944, and view the city from a scenic overlook. But the tastiest aspect of this excursion is your visit to Mack Brewery – established in 1877 and branded the world’s northernmost brewery until another brewer recently set up shop in Svalbard, quite a bit further north. No matter – the 8 varieties of Mack beer produced here are as delicious as ever, as you’ll determine when it comes time to savor a taste or two after your guided tour of their complex. For that, you’ll head to ølhallen, oldest beer pub in town, which happens to belong to Mack, too.
