Sightseeing
We'd recommend that you take the cable car from Tromsdalen to Storsteinen. It's called "Fjellheisen" in Norwegian, directly translated to Mountain Cable Car. It gives you an stunning overview of Tromsø Island and Kvaløya. It takes only 4 minutes by cable car. If you want to walk to the top, that's also an alternative. It's about a 400m vertical meters hike to the top.
