Things to do in Trondheim

Some cities feel like they were designed. Trondheim feels like it was sketched out on a vellum scroll by a medieval architect with a flair for drama (and who somehow also knew how to optimize for tramways). Here, Viking lore lives next door to Gothic cathedrals, and your scenic hike might end at a ski jump. There’s grandeur, certainly — but with a side of curiosity that keeps you guessing.

Experience the Trondheim port on your next cruise

It’s not every day you step off a ship and immediately feel like you’ve wandered into a Scandinavian epic poem. Trondheim delivers that kind of energy. The buildings are bold, the streets are walkable and the locals somehow manage to be both laid-back and impeccably efficient. It’s the kind of port that makes a Transatlantic or European cruise a major bucket-list item. There’s no script — just see where the cobblestones take you.
