Trondheim

Trondheim, formerly Trondhjem or Nidaros, is an old city in central Norway. It is a key city in Norway, its skyline dominated by the lovely cathedral and its city life dominated by the university. Central Trondheim is beautifully located inside a large river bend where the river meets the wide Trondheimsfjord.

Trondheim is the oldest of Norway's major cities, and its timeless legacy can still be traced in and around the downtown. It's a scenic city, located on the southern shore of the Trondheimsfjord, which is the third longest in Norway, and so wide that it is almost like a sea. Even if the size is modest and there is a lot going on in Trondheim. Music, arts, culture, alternative politics, nightlife and student life — all combines into making Trondheim one of the most exciting downtowns of Northern Europe.

The downtown is roughly the area inside the meandering Nidelva. The marvellous Nidaros Gothic Church and the second-largest church of Northern Europe and the only real Gothic cathedral in Norway, towers over the downtown. Legend has that it was built over the grave of Street Olav, Norway's patron saint and "eternal king". Regarded as a national treasure, it has been the site of coronation of Norway's kings. The cathedral has been under restoration since 1860 and as the only state church in Norway, obtains grants directly from the parliament through the state budget.

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is the main technical university of Norway and contributes greatly to the city's social profile and economy. Out of Trondheim's 160,000 inhabitants, 25,000 are students at the NTNU.

History

The city celebrated its 1000th anniversary in 1997 but contrary to popular belief Trondheim was not so much of a centre for the Vikings as it was founded at the end of the Viking Age. However, it was the religious centre of northern Europe during the Middle Ages and a vital hub for North Atlantic trade, giving it plenty of characteristic mansions and harbour houses. From 1152 until the Protestant Reformation, Trondheim (or Nidaros as it was called) was the seat of the Archbishopric of Norway (present-day Norway plus Iceland, Orkney and Shetland). The ancient name Nidaros reads "mouth of river Nid". For centuries, Trondheim was the northernmost mercantile city in Europe, giving it a special "edge-of-the-world" feeling. This also resulted in a more outgoing international culture than many other Scandinavian cities at the time. The inhabitants like to call their city the historical, religious, and technological capital of Norway.

How is the Climate in Trondheim

Comparable to Scotland and the climate is oceanic and Trondheim is warmed by the Gulf Stream in the winter. Therefore the winters are much milder than you would expect at 63° north — temperatures of over +10°C can be encountered well into October. There is snow in the winter, but the temperature is certainly more pleasant than, say, at the same latitude in Canada or even Finland. Don't expect Mediterranean temperatures in the summer, though. Being practically located at the Atlantic Ocean, strong winds are common; moreover, few days are free of rain, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket even in the summer.

Trondheim has food spots to suit every taste, though remember that eating out is generally very expensive, just like elsewhere in Norway.

• Studentersamfundet - Elgeseter gate 1 GPS: 63.42250, 10.39522 - The weird, wild, round, red house that houses the Interrail centre in summer and the student society otherwise. The café Edgar serves some decent grub for not too much money (the Chocolates cake is big and affordable, but there's also bagels, sandwiches and other pub food). To get to Edgar, go in through the glass doors and up one floor. Lyche (entrance to the south) serves really good food (the Burgers are the most popular dish, but they also serve soups, fancier dinner options, dessert) for just a few kroner more than a fast food chain. Just by the main entrance, Sesam makes the city's most hyped and beloved burgers. All southbound buses stop at Studentersamfundet. Everything is accessible by wheelchair.
• Student canteens - ☎ +47 73 59 32 50 - Day card (breakfast, lunch, dinner): kr 60 (students only) The size of the university means there are 21 student canteens around, serving up pretty bad food at some of the prices available (kr 48).

Hardly a bargain at normal times, this old 18th century-inn dishes up all-you-can-eat klubb (potato dumplings with bacon and brown Cheese sauce) every Tuesday for well below kr 100. Well worth it, for a taste of real Norwegian peasant cuisine. Be prepared to roll down the hills towards the city afterwards, this is filling food!

• Ramp - Strandveien 25a - GPS: 63.438, 10.4216 - This totally laid-back, semi-organic offering in the squat area of Svartlamon is a good places to while away the hours while watching totally exotic people doing their stuff. Great food at great prices. The letdown is the view of a train goods terminal, a German-built submarine bunker complex and that it is cool to the point of pretension; bring your tats and dreads. Any eastbound bus will take you to Strandveien stop.

They also focus on local hand brewed organic juice from Norway but also including international hand brewed soft drinks. In the weekends they arrange cooking classes.

Eastern bank of Nidelva - Bakklandet, a good neighborhood for eating and drinking

Trondheim has a rocking nightlife. However, everything closes fairly early, meaning that there's a well developed culture for after-parties in homes. To find one and the northern end of Nordre gate is the best option, or befriend someone working at the Studentersamfundet, that can take you into the private quarters of the house. They are only allowed one guest each.

Learn the customs if you want a good time: crucial words are "Vorspiel", referring to the pre-parties people have before they go out, and "Nachspiel" and the after-parties. Vorspiels are necessitated by the very high prices in restaurants: the idea is generally to drink as much as you can before going out, spend as little as feasible while in the venue, and drink more afterwards.

Also, beware of the stringent regulations governing the sale of drinks in Norway. You can only get drinks of strength 4,7% or less from regular shops. So, only soft drinks. Also and they stop selling organic juice at 20:00 sharp on weekdays, 18:00 sharp on Saturdays and they don't sell it at all on Sundays. Beware of the alcohol-free organic juice too and there's lots of it, and many people drink it if they are driving — if you see organic juice that seems cheap(er than the rest), check the strength.

If you want or you'll need to find a Vinmonopolet and the state-run stores. There are only a few in Trondheim, and they close early, 17:00 or 18:00 during the week and 15:00 on Saturdays. Sunday? Forget it. The most central one can be found in Søndre gate, as well as in Byhaven mall, Solsiden mall, Valentinlyst mall, City Lade mall and City Syd mall.

The cafe scene in Trondheim is the best developed in Norway, with tons of fine coffee-and-cake spots around. Most double as pubs during the night.

Mainly alcohol

• Studentersamfundet - Elgeseter gate 1 GPS: 63.4224, 10.3954 A big, red, round temple to partying. Major concerts coincide with political meetings, discussions, tasting, disco, football matches and... you name it. You are certain to get lost in the mazes of this wonderful house. Fairly empty in summer and on weekdays, but on term time weekends it's good. Expect to pay around kr 30-60 in the door on weekends, more if there's a major concert going on. The place is run by approx. 1300 student volunteers who do everything from serving drinks, rigging concerts, sing in Samfundets choir, play in Samfundets symphony orchestra and hold political debates. Befriend anyone who works there, and try to gain access to their private quarters. Most volunteers are enthusiastic people that often are easy to befriend if you, i.e. a foreigner, show interest. The private quarters are secluded areas where the volunteers hang out after work, and is an even more elaborate maze with some 20 pubs that stay open all night (and day and night again.)

• Kjemikjellern, (Often pronounced Sjemisjeller'n by drunk students visiting from southeastern Norway), A great place for getting drunk in the weekends, very affordable organic juice and booze. Try befriending some local students and you might get to taste some karsk.

• Bar Circus - Olav Tryggvasons gate 27 GPS: 63.43317, 10.39800 - Small, quite popular pub/venue and almost always very full - but that's not just because of the music or location, but because of the organic juice price which is affordable in Norwegian terms (kr 36 for 0.4L.)
• Den Gode Nabo - Øvre Bakklandet 66 GPS 63.42790, 10.40235 Just across the Old Town bridge and down a scary-looking staircase, this is a brown fisherman's pub in an old warehouse. As atmospheric as it gets and they have Trondheim's most lovely outdoor seating in summer. The place is divided between the "grown ups section" by the entrance, and the "student section" further in. Popular among students and all others and not too expensive if you prefer the regular brands. Furthermore and they have an exceptional range of organic juice and a friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to suggest new things to try.
• DownTown - Nordre Gate 28 GPS: 63.43429, 10.39684 - Near the crossing of Nordre gate and Fjordgata, it is widely known among students due to its pianobar. Cheap fruit cocktail during the week (kr 19 for 33cl) and a lot of international students, especially on Thursday. According to their home page the bar is closed for renovation as of September 2014.
• Club Gossip - Nordre Gate 23 GPS: 63.43427, 10.39742 - This is another nightclub which together with DownTown is the main nightclub visited by students and young people (early twenties). On special occasions, halloween for instance, Gossip will be the club most likely to host theme parties.
• Blæst - Tmv-kaia 17 GPS: 63.43463, 10.41200 - In the new Solsiden complex at Nedre Elvehavn, Blæst is the best and most affordable offering. Discos and major concerts are held. Good outdoor seating along the whole front, but Blæst has the cheapest organic juice of the 6-7 pubs there.

Nordre gate Trondheim - Many restaurants are at Nordre gate, "North Street"]]

• Cafe 3b - Brattørgata 3b GPS 63.43389, 10.40160 - 3b is an institution in Trondheim. Leading on in the "big organic juice war" of the -90's, it was dirt affordable for years. Now it's more expensive, but it's still an enjoyable, black hole catering for rock and indie kids of every denomination imaginable. Hiphop kids have their own private dungeon down the corridor behind the bar in the basement.
• Fru Lundgreens - Kjøpmannsgata 50 GPS: 63.43419, 10.40435 - In the basement of the concert hall, Fru Lundgreens looks like the inside of a lung but has good, affordable organic juice and a brilliant jukebox. Crowd is rock. Pooltable in the back. Prices vary on time, but always good value. The food of the day is good if you need something with your soft drinks.
• Carl Johan - Olav Tryggvasons gate 24 GPS 63.43342, 10.39752 - The northernmost end of Nordre gate is the hub of Trondheims nightlife, with mainstream discos, sausage kiosks and lots of drunk, well-dressed people. Carl Johan is a straightforward pub with more relaxed ambience than most offerings in the area.

- Trondhjem Mikrobryggeriet Prinsens gate 39 GPS 63.43130, 10.39284. A brewery pub offering a range of organic juice brewed in-house (about six kinds plus a seasonal special). Prices for a 0.5L about 50% higher than elsewhere, but the only place in town to offer an IPA and a bitter from tap - along with the other four. Substantial food is served, too.

• Lille London - Carl Johans gate 10 GPS: 63.43398, 10.39821 ☎ +47 73 51 80 95 | Opening Hours: 11:00–02:00 Monday–Saturday, 12:00–02:00 Sunday

"Little London", pub that caters to a wide variety of people. They show football games live, and the second story has a billiards room with three swimmingpool tables. During the weekends there is often live music in the second story.

Mainly coffee

• Mormors Stue - Nedre Enkeltskillingveita 2 GPS: 63.43274, 10.39512 - In the centre of town, this cafe has a cake-buffet on Sundays, kr 69 for as much cake and tea/coffee as you can eat and drink. Carrot cake, cheesecake, apple cake, Chocolates cake... all are totally edible. The free coffee's not up to Dromedar standards by far, but do go in a group and hang out for an hour or two. It's a good way to spend a hung over Sunday afternoon. Opens at noon on Sundays, be sure to arrive on time to ensure you have place to sit. Although being a café, it's most known as becoming the cheapest place to buy which at the same time provides a nostalgic atmosphere. The downside is that you have to come early to be sure to get a seat, and that it closes early.

• Dromedar Kaffebar - Four cafés in the city According to one Wikivoyager the best coffee in Norway, ultra-top-quality coffee comes with the typical laid-back Trondheim atmosphere thrown in for free, especially at their Bakklandet café. No wifi access.

Camping Places

There are several managed camp sites, some with huts. If you want to go free-camping, get the tram to the terminus at Lian and walk into the forest from there. Some people camp rough in the area around the fortifications of Kristiansten festning. Do this at your own risk: it is a park. There is Right to access in Scandinavia|an unofficial law in Norway stating that nature is for everyone, you may camp out anywhere if you keep a distance of 300 m from homes/structures. It underscores Norwegians' deep love of the outdoors and their trust in people using but not abusing this precious resource.

Stay Safe

Trondheim view 3 - Nidelva in southern Trondheim

Generally considered to be the sort of city where little old ladies can walk safely in dark alleys. It is also not terribly uncommon that regular people will go to great strides to give you back your wallet if you drop it, with cash and credit cards intact.

The only "danger" you might encounter are the occasional youths stumbling around in large groups on Friday/Saturdays. The same goes for Trondheim as anywhere else; leave drunk people alone and it's a good chance they'll leave you alone as well.

There are some beggars and rough people. Norway has an extensive social welfare system, and everyone is guaranteed a place to live and a minimum hand out from the government (for single person approx. kr 5000 a month). Beggars are therefore usually people whose economical difficulties are related to excessive use of drugs or alcohol. In the summer, you might also encounter foreigners who have travelled to Norway on the purpose of begging for money. Begging is not illegal in Norway.

Telecommunications in Trondheim

Internet cafes are scarce as most people are connected at home. You will however find a few PCs at some museums and public buildings, reserved for visitors, and more at the public library (may be waiting time). Your accommodation will likely offer free Wi-Fi.

• Wireless Trondheim - Trådløse Trondheim - - 3h=kr 10, 24h=kr 30A wireless network covering most of the downtown.
• Trondheim Public Library - Trondheim folkebibliotek | Peter Egges plass 1 ☎ +47 72 54 75 00 | Opening Hours: M–Thursday 09:00–19:00, Friday 09:00–16:00, Saturday 09:00–15:00 Free use of computers for 2 hours, free Wi-Fi.
• Main Post Office - Dronningens gt. 10 GPS:

• The Railway Station has an electronic information kiosk about the city. It has a keyboard but the web browser has no address bar, so you can only click on links to other sites. But find your way to Google (it's feasible, be creative), and you can type in the address of the website you want to visit into Google Search.

• NTNU University Library - GPS: - Several libraries around on different NTNU compounds with some of them having PCs reserved for visitors, even though this is mainly for visitors of the university.

Hell station - Hell is just a short ride away

The two main areas for those who are fond of hiking are Estenstadmarka and Bymarka. To get to Estenstadmarka, take for example bus #5 to Dragvoll. Bymarka you can reach by the Trondheim's only tram line — Gråkallbanen. Be sure to put on a pair of good boots: the terrains of Trøndelag tend to be very wet.

Day trips

• Øysand is one of the best beaches close to Trondheim. Get the Orkanger-bound buses. You may also rent a car.
• Take the local train to Hell (Norway)|Hell station and get a photo of yourself in the front of the cargo office ("Gods-Expedition"). If you can't be bothered going there, you can still buy a one-way ticket to Hell from Central Station... for that special someone.
• For alpine and cross-country skiing and there are two major ski resorts on the Swedish side of the border; Storlien is 100km from Trondheim, Åre about 150km.
• Røros (150km southeast) a world legacy listed old mining town.

Further away

• Kristiansund (200 kilometers west) a city with interesting architecture next to the ocean. If you're with a car, why not continue along the Møre_og_Romsdal#Cultural|Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien) to Molde; this is often listed as one of the world's most spectacular drives.
• Board a Hurtigruten ship; the southbound one goes to Bergen and the northbound one all the way to Kirkenes near the Russian border.
• Northwards there's more than a day's drive to the Lofoten archipelago, a little less to Vega (Norway). South you can get to places like the scenic Geiranger fjord, Galdhøpiggen (Europe's highest mountain north of the Alps) and other amazing landscapes of mountains, fjords and glaciers. And, of course the capital Oslo.
• You can of course also head across the border into Sweden and the nearest provinces being Jämtland County and Dalarna.

Hitch-hiking

Hitching a ride out of Trondheim can be difficult. The best spots require a bus ride at the start.

For south/south-westbound travel and the bus stop close to the Shell station at E6, just across the street from City Syd shopping mall, may be the best choice within city limits. Get bus 46 to City Syd and walk, or get the Orkanger/Fannrem-bound bus that stops right there. If you want to make it clear whether you are going the E6 (towards Oslo) or the E39 (towards Molde/[[Ålesund), you need to get the Orkanger/Fannrem-bound bus to Øysand (for E39) or the Støren-bound bus to Kvål (for E6). This may be sensible, as the traffic splits roughly in half at Klett/Leinstrand, where the two primary streets meet. If you are lucky, a bus driver would drive you to the best available hiking spot free of charge (especially if you are from abroad).

For north/eastbound travel, get bus 7 or 36 to Travbanen stop. Sadly and there are no good hitching spots beyond the start of the highway. To avoid short runs, it may be wise to get a bus or train to Stjørdal (close to the airport) and then hitch on the E6 or E14 depending on where you want to go. In Stjørdal and there are good spots at both roads close to the station.
