Trondheim

What you need to know before you go

Trondheim is a port city that combines a long and colorful history with modern-day industry and innovation to create one of the largest and most popular destinations in Norway. The skyline is dotted with historical structures like Nidaros Cathedral and Kristiansten Fortress while the pedestrianized streets of the city center host a fantastic array of quirky little specialty shops. Be sure to get some photos of the colorful old warehouses that line the river, too.

Being a university city, Trondheim naturally has a lively and budget-friendly nightlife, as well as some interesting sights and attractions that don’t count their age in centuries. The Trondheim Science Centre is a great example, though it’s just one of a wide selection of museums around the city. And, of course, there are plenty of superb places to get a taste of fresh local seafood.
