2 Hour City Walk through Trondheim
Description
The tour starts in front of Pirbadet. It continues to a modern part of the city called Solsiden where many locals spend their free time enjoying themselves outside the cafés and restaurants. We proceed along the river Nid and the colorful warehouses. After that we head to one of the oldest areas of the town – Bakklandet – which has managed to preserve its charming wooden architecture. In Bakklandet is where you also find the world's only bicycle lift. We leave Bakklandet behind crossing over the famous old town bridge with "The Portal of Happiness". Then we arrive at Nidaros Cathedral, Norway's national monument. Nidaros Cathedral is built over the tomb of St. Olav, Norway's patron saint. We carry on to the Market Square (Torget). Here, the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, the city's founder, is enthroned above the vibrant square in the shape of a statue. Our next stop is Stiftsgården, the royal residence, and passing Britannia Hotel before heading back to the harbour.

Itinerary
We will see the "sunny side" of Trondheim, a charming and vibrant district with a lot of restaurants and coffee shops.
This part of town used to be the working class district. The former industrial buildings are now popular and modern apartments. The charming wooden architecture has been preserved over the years despite fires and massive building projects.
The red old town bridge is known as a "portal of happiness" and for the only bicycle lift in the world beside it. We will have a wonderful view of the old warehouses from the bridge.
Nidaros Cathedral is one of Scandinavia’s most stunning and magnificent cathedral as well as the best well-preserved Gothic building in Northern Europe.
The Market square is the heart of the city with a statue of the founder Olav Tryggvason. Here we find the main shopping mall and a lot of nice restaurants.
Stiftsgården is the royal residence in Trondheim if the royal family is in town. We will walk through the beautiful garden.

big city - intense walk- little time to enjoy and capture the highlights guide didn't know what his responsibilities were and timing
Superbly paced and touched every highlight of the city. Really gave us our bearings too. Lana was a great host and very engaging
We enjoyed our walking tour. We had a great guide and learned about Trondheim. This tour is a great way to see the city center.
Although the weather left much to be desired (rather cold, very windy, & rainy), Gunnar, our guide, was upbeat & positive which helped uplift our mood & spirits for what to expect on our 2-hour trek through the streets of lovely Trondheim. He had lots of knowledge about this city & its history, and was attentive to both the weather & our wellbeing. Overall a very nice experience, which left a nice impression of Trondheim & Norway. Highly recommended! Thank you, Gunnar!
First of all, thanks for reshedule the walking tour that I mistakenly scheduled. The operator made the proper arrangements to insert us in the walking tour.
Awesome tour with a very nice and knowledgable guide. Really enjoyed the trip even though it was raining and learned a lot. Can only recommend. :)
A very good and quick way to see the highlights of trondheim and discover how the center works. You'll learn a little about what you're looking at. We had a very sweet and knowledgeable guide (Lana) who not only shared nice stories from history but also about life now in Norway and the nature of the Norwegians. The short walks are interspersed with pauses in which she talks. For almost everyone to do with some condition. Suitable for adults and older children.
Vanessa our tour guide was absolutely first rate. Tronheim is a very interesting and walkable city with a rich history. Given this, it makes alot of sense to take this sort of tour with a knowledgeable guide who lives and works in the city. We would highly recommend this particular tour as it was excellent. Thank you Vanessa and it was lovely to meet you.
Lana was wonderful! We ended up being the only 2 people on the tour today so it felt incredibly personal. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Appreciate your time, Lana!
A wonderful tour guide who is very passionate and knowledgeable about Trondheim and we had a great experience. Thank you to Toreill.
