Enjoy a guided walk around Trondheim, Norway’s former capital
Pass sights such as Stiftsgården and the statue of Viking King Olav Tryggvason
Admire famous Nidaros Cathedral from the outside and the inside
See the old city bridge Gamle Bybro, entrance to trendy Bakklandet district
Starting at the harbour, we make our way up to Stiftsgården, the royal residence, before reaching the market square – where a towering statue of the city's founder, Viking King Olav Tryggvason, dominates the skyline.
We then head to the majestic Nidaros Cathedral, Norway's national shrine and the world's northernmost medieval cathedral, where you'll have a chance to step inside.
Our return route crosses Gamle Bybro, the old city bridge. It’s known to the locals as “The Portal of Happiness”, a nickname coined in a popular waltz by 20th-century Norwegian singer and composer Kristian Hoddø. Enjoy the view of the colourful wharves along the River Nid before we make our way back to the ship.
