The Trondheim City Guides answer what visitors want to know: where Norway’s food city eats well without the dinner mark-up, which museums are worth a short winter day, where the students go out in Bakklandet and how far the train and tram will take you. Every guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, the area and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser the moment you have paid.

Kristiansten Fortress
Kristianstensbakken 60, 15 min walk from centre
A 17th-century hilltop fort east of the river with the widest free view over the roofs, the cathedral and the fjord. Give it about 45 minutes. From the things to do guide.

Plan your days in Trondheim
Day one: start at Nidaros Cathedral and the Archbishop’s Palace, cross Gamle bybro to Bakklandet for lunch from the food guide and climb to Kristiansten Fortress before dark. Day two: take the train to Røros or Hegra Fortress with the day trips guide, then end at a brewpub or wine bar back in town. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides point you to the library, Rockheim, the art museum and the Gråkallbanen tram up to Lian.
