Trondheim is one of Norway’s most atmospheric cities, where history meets modern life. Once an important religious and commercial center of Scandinavia, the city has retained its medieval roots in street appearance and architecture, and the university and cultural scene adds youth and dynamism. Walks along the promenade and narrow quarters give the feeling of a genuine northern city with a rich history.
Among the man-made attractions, Nidaros Cathedral invariably leads, St. Olaf Cathedral is the main architectural treasure, with which the grandeur of European cathedrals is often compared. Other religious and cultural monuments, museum expositions and carefully preserved buildings are also found in the historic center, and the Lerkendal Stadium attracts sports fans: it is the home arena of the Rossenborg Football Club and an important venue for local events. Walking through the old streets and visiting museums will help you understand the city’s multi-layered history.
The nature around Trondheim is not inferior to cultural values: the coastlines of Trondheims Fjord, the tranquil Nidelva River, parks and urban forests offer picturesque views and opportunities for outdoor activities. The surroundings have green hills and hiking trails, and the promenades with views of the fjord are ideal for quiet walks and photo shoots. The natural corners complement the cityscape and give room for privacy and outdoor experiences.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map, read short descriptions and collect your own route. Routes can be built with time and interests in mind, marking the points you want to see first. The interactive map helps visually plan a walk or a busy day of inspection, combining cultural places and natural locations.
You choose the format of acquaintance with the city: free walks on key sites and embankments or thematic excursions with local guides. Guides will tell stories that aren’t always found in guidebooks, reveal hidden architectural details, and recommend the best stop points. Excursions and independent routes complement each other, giving the opportunity to experience the city in their own way.
