How it works
Setting off from the ship, we’ll start our guided cycle of Trondheim along the fjord, sticking to the city’s network of red cycle lanes. We'll cross the new bike bridge and take in its fine views of Munkholmen island – Trondheim's version of Alcatraz. From here, we’ll cycle via the neighbourhood of Ila along the river Nid, where you’ll spot the impressive Nidaros Cathedral.
Entering the buzzy Bakklandet district, we’ll stop for coffee and pastries at one of the many cosy cafés in the area. Heading back to the ship, we’ll cross the historic district and the modernised part of the trendy Solsiden area, a former shipyard which has become very popular with the locals.
