Picture of Trondheim
Caption: Cross Gamle Bybro, the iconic red-painted bridge, to get to Bakklandet, Trondheim’s old town, bustling with locals and student. The main drag parallel to Nidelva River, Øvre Bakklandet, is a cobbled street of wooden houses and laid-back vibes where outdoor, bistro-style cafes serve coffee, tapas, and local Trøndelag beers, and independent boutiques sell flowers, clothes, and home goods.

Caption: Consider a stay at the centuries-old lighthouse on Sula, which has accommodations to rent in the warmer months. If solitude gets old, stop by Tom Kjærås’ boathouse, where he and his wife, Evelyn, invite visitors for homemade bread and flavorful snacks made from edible plants foraged from their own yard. Their motto: “If you can’t weed it, eat it.”

Caption: With a popular under 200,000, Trondheim is bite-size in comparison to other European cities. However, it is one where history and modernity, as well as the old and the young, live happily side by side. For example, on one side of the fjord stands the world’s northernmost Catholic cathedral; on the other, Norway’s largest university. Discover more about Trondheim here.
