Trondheim Private Walking Tour

The picturesque city of Trondheim is Norway's third-largest, located on the north shore of the Trondheim Fjord at the mouth of the River Nidelva. The city is steeped in history, innovative art, innovative technologies, and strong green initiatives. As a progressive city with vibrant city life, Trondheim still carries the heart of a small town as well. Soak up the rich history of the Nidaros Cathedral, which boasts a remarkable Gothic facade and an astonishing past dating back to the 11th century. Discover Bryggerekka, the most photogenic area in Trondheim. It is a ring of old wharf buildings along both sides of the Nidelva, the oldest of which dates from the 18th century. Walk through Gamle Bybro and explore the view of the 18th-century wooden wharfs that line the river Nidelva. Discover the bird’s eye viewpoint over the city at Kristiansten Fortress, built to protect the city in the 17th century. Trondheim is a true sight, to be discovered at each step of the way.
