Overview

Trondheim is a city where Viking heritage and royal history converge at every corner. On this GPS-guided walking tour, you'll discover the inner center of Norway's third-largest city, following in the footsteps of kings and merchants as you explore historic wooden buildings, riverfront wharves, and sacred sites that reveal over 1,000 years of fascinating stories.

The tour begins at the statue of Olav Tryggvason, founder of Trondheim in 997 AD. You'll stroll down Munkegata past the impressive Stiftsgården, the largest wooden palace in Northern Europe and official royal residence since 1906.

Your journey continues through charming narrow streets where you'll see elegant parks, medieval churches, and the historic waterfront district with its colorful warehouses dating back hundreds of years. Along the way, you'll learn about Trondheim's devastating 1681 fire and subsequent Baroque reconstruction. The tour ends at this sacred site that has drawn pilgrims for nearly a millennium.
