Troms has a multicultural heritage of Sami, Finnish and Norwegian cultures, visible in lovingly restored homesteads. Local museums, ancient churches and colourful, wooden architecture testify to the rich history of Troms. Remember to also look out for memorabilia from World War II, in the form of giant guns, dilapidated bunkers and explanatory museums.
