General presentation
Trondheim
Former royal capital, Trondheim blends Gothic cathedral, stilt houses, university and musical culture.
To understand what Trondheim is, you must look at the cathedral of Nidaros, Rockheim and Bakklandet. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the coastline and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Cathedral
Cathédrale de Nidaros
The cathedral of Nidaros was erected on the tomb of St. Olaf; its carved facade, chapels and role in the coronations make it the main medieval sanctuary of Norway.
Place indismissible
Rockheim
Rockheim traces the history of Norwegian popular music in an old warehouse in the port, with interactive studios, instruments and sound archives rather than a simple series of showcases.
Place indismissible
Bakklandet
Bakklandet bordering the Nidelva with colourful wooden houses, old warehouses and cafes; the area allows you to walk to the old bridge and slopes of Kristiansten fortress.
