You can explore the sights of Trondheim on an optional guided tour

Join us on a guided walk through Trondheim and learn all about this historical city. We’ll begin at the harbor, which was developed during the second half of the 19th century. Then, we will walk up to Stiftsgården, the royal residence in Trondheim. Continuing on to the market square, you won’t miss the towering statue of the city’s founder, Viking King Olaf Tryggvason.

From here, we’ll walk to Nidaros Cathedral, where you can step inside Norway’s national shrine. It’s also the world’s northernmost cathedral. Get your camera ready as we pass the old city bridge, Gamle Bybro, with its red, pointed archways. The bridge is known to the locals as ‘The Portal of Happiness’, a nickname coined in a popular waltz by 20th-century Norwegian singer and composer Kristian Oskar Hoddøø. Enjoy the view of the colorful wharves along the river Nid before we make our way back to the pier.

Excursion is subject to a minimum number of participants.
