Trondheim

Norway's medieval capital — the cathedral where kings have been crowned for nine hundred years still anchors a city of bridges and student bicycles.

Trondheim was the seat of the medieval Norwegian kingdom, and the Nidaros Cathedral — the northernmost gothic cathedral in the world — still anchors the old city. The Nidelva river winds through the center, the colorful old wharves at Bakklandet on its eastern bank. Today it is a university town, lively in a way the older fjord cities sometimes aren’t.

What we plan to do here

  • Nidaros Cathedral and the archbishop’s palace.
  • Walk Bakklandet, cross the old town bridge.
  • Sverresborg — the open-air folk museum.
  • Last city stop before we go properly north.
