Amid its many wooden buildings stands a magnificent stone church. This is an ancient city, founded by the Viking King Olav Tryggvason as early as 997.

Over the course of a few hours, become better acquainted with two of the city’s premier sights. From the pier, board a bus with a local guide to the national shrine, Nidarosdomen (Nidaros Cathedral).

This is Norway’s only Gothic-style Cathedral and was built over the burial place of St. Olav, the country’s patron saint. The incredible architectural details and fantastic art of this national treasure are truly impressive.

From Nidaros Cathedral, the bus takes you directly to another cultural gem in the capital of Trøndelag – the Ringve Museum of Musical History. This handsome manor museum was the childhood home of Norwegian naval hero Petter Wessel Tordenskiold and it is surrounded by an idyllic botanical garden offering beautiful views of Trondheim and the fjord.

Inside the museum, guides take you on a musical journey through history, where you will see and hear many instruments you most likely have never seen or heard before. This is a delightful and unique display of special instruments from every corner of the world and a truly memorable experience.
