In the Viking times Trondheim was the capital city, now it is Norway's third largest city with a myriad of speciality restaurants and cosy bars selling locally brewed beers with a genuinely friendly atmosphere. This charming place sits on the Trondheim Fjord offering a wide range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and kayaking along the Nidelva river.
The soul of Trondheim is in the Bakklandet district with its colourful wooden houses on the banks of the Nidelva river, narrow streets, unique boutique stores, and the picturesque red Old Town Bridge. Follow in the historic footsteps along the Pilgrim Path leading to the 11th-century, gothic Nidaros Cathedral with intricate façade and ornate rose windows. Nearby, the Archbishop's Palace Museum displays many archaeological findings and sculptures.
