It is no longer the capital, but retains its historic significance as the coronation place for Norway's kings and queens right through to the present day.
Today Trondheim is a thriving university town with a strong music scene and home to Norway's national museum for music. The city is characterised by its wooden buildings and wide-open streets which were developed after the great fire in 1681 that destroyed many of the medieval buildings.
The city is well served with a regular shuttle bus from the airport departing every 15 minutes. A stopover in Trondheim fits particularly well with itineraries including a stay in Åre.
"Founded over 1,000 years ago, Trondheim is an ancient city, but with all the youthfulness and vibrancy of a modern university town. It's an excellent city stay addition to ski holidays in Åre, just across the border in Sweden."
Attractions
- Nidaros Cathedral - Dating back to 1070 this is northernmost medieval cathedral in the world. The coronation place of Norwegian Kings and Queens right through to the present day.
