This easy-going tour around Trondheim, and their wonderful open-air Folk Museum, is the perfect way to get to know the history of this pretty town.

You will be accompanied by your guide as you walk through the museum at Sverresborg, observing how the Norwegians lived in medieval times.

Building on this Gothic-style church, where Norwegian kings were crowned, began in 1070 and finished in the 12th century.
