Tromso Norway, shuttle to downtown

[dserdman]

Does Royal Caribbean provide/offer a shuttle from the port to downtown? We will be on Jewel of the Seas that docks at quay 21 which seems to be several km from downtown.

If they don't there's a nearby bus stop where bus 42 will take you downtown in 10 minutes and you can buy the ticket on your phone (Approx USD 4,- for one way ticket, USD 12 for 24 hour ticket on all local lines, half price for seniors) (https://fylkestrafikk.no/menu/tickets-and-fares/troms-billett-tickets-app/) 

 

You can actually quite easily navigate and use local public transportation to get around using Google Maps to find which bus line and when if you want to explore Tromsø on your own, for example go to the cathedral or the gondola lift (Fjellheisen). Bus schedules for the summer might not be available on Google Maps this early, but they will be later.

If I remember correctly, the Botanical Gardens were very walkable from the ship.

Only a few minutes walk from the terminal on the opposite side of the main road.  I think I remember free entry and open 24/7

Yes the botanical gardens were free.
