“Without Trøndelag all that would be left of the history book of Norway is the cover,” claim Trønderne, the people from Trøndelag.
This special excursion enables you to discover the Viking town of Trondheim – Norway’s first capital. It was founded around 997 by Viking King Olav Tryggvason, who named it Nidaros. By Norwegian standards, Trondheim is a large city but preserves the charms and intimacies of a small town. Trondheim is full of colorful contrasts: monastic ruins, impressive wooden buildings, colorful wharves and a beautiful red bridge dating from 1861. The Kristiansten Fortress, from the 1600s, stands guard above the town. Trondheim is home to a world-famous research and educational community, modern sports facilities, lively nightlife and countless services. The bus takes you on a relaxing tour of the town and makes a stop at Utsikten (“The View”) to admire the capital from up high.
Sightseeing in Trondheim is incomplete without a visit to its premier cultural treasure, Nidaros Cathedral. Built over the burial site of St. Olav (Norway’s patron saint), the construction of the impressive cathedral began as early as 1070. After an insightful guided tour, many people describe this Gothic-style cathedral as the most beautiful church in all of Norway.
