Trondheim Norway: City Highlights and Best of Trondheim

Welcome to Trondheim, Norway. This compact city in central Norway is known for its striking cathedral, riverside buildings and sprawling university campus. Trondheim has a proud history and was once even the capital of Norway during the last years of the Viking Age.
Join me as I show you the highlights of Trondheim, my home city since 2013. Read more about Trondheim: www.lifeinnorway.net/living-i...

I visiter Trondheim in 2018 and what a beautiful city ! Friendly people, good food and plenty for the eyes to see.

[@lifeinnorway1]

It has its beautiful parts that’s for sure, and the food has improved a lot in recent years. Thanks for watching 🙌

[@henriksen4]

Really great video. It's the next best thing to being there. I watched with the closed captions on and I had to laugh when the caption transcribed "Watch out for the psychopaths" instead of "Watch out for the cycle paths". 😀

[@lifeinnorway1]

Hahah brilliant :D

[@stevenjohnson7086]

Yeah, I heard psychopaths also, and I find that many cyclists are… indeed… psychopaths.

[@andrewgordon9615]

Yes, the psychopaths really turned me off, but the beauty of the city told me the psychopaths may not be so bad. I like the bar that had the sign, "Live by the sun". I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking. I can see why you chose to live there. It's gorgeous! The cathedral reminds me of Chartre in France. Love vids. Love the podcast. Love the weekly writing. Thanks for all you do.

Trondheim looks a stunning place. We will be heading there in early February for a railway journey along the coast to Bodo so we will be in Trondheim for 3 days looking to do some sight seeing, you have certainly given us some ideas-weather permitting 🥶. Thank you

When it comes to sports, I would also mention Granåsen, which is a Nordic skiing (cross-country and ski jumping) stadium towards the southern end of Byåsen, west of town, that is hosting the 2025 World Championships (as it also did in 1997). Pretty much all year 'round, the area (the entirety of Byåsen and Bymarka it borders, tbh) is popular among hikers, amateur skiers (both on snow and roller skis in the summer), as well as being the stomping grounds of several world and olympic champions. Other popular hiking areas include the Lade/Ladehammeren area, which used to be the power center back in Norse times. Today, the area is a mix of suburban residental and commercial, just a 5-10 minute bus ride from the city center, with a really nice hiking trail (Ladestien) along the shores of the fjord. Lade also has a botanical garden and a classical music museum. Between Lade and the city center, we have Nyhavna. Here you can find the Pirbadet water park (a bit pricy, imho), Rockheim museum of Norwegian rock and popular music, a pretty large conference hotel (with what I believe is the most expensive "cheapest" beer in Trondheim 😅), and quite a few tech companies and other businesses. This is also the area of town where we can find the La'mon and Buran neighbourhoods, the first being the closest we have to a hippie/punk commune in town, where we can find UFFA-huset (really at Buran, UFFA being the punk/anarchist "The Youth for Free Activity), which holds concerts, workshops, café, etc. The Trikkestallen indoors skate park (inside a disused tram depot), also is to be found on Buran. There are quite a few festivals being held in/near Trondheim, including: Pstereo - a "student/young adult" focused pop and rock music festival down by the river at Marinen, the park behind Nidaros Cathedral, UKA - a biannual student festival, with two(?) weeks of concerts, even more weeks of talks, workshops, etc, etc, Trondheim Rocks - a two-day rock music festival, at the old brewery grounds just east of the city center, focusing on 70s/80s/90s hard rock, NidaRock - a newly started (and for now) one-day hard rock/metal festival, also at the old brewery grounds, albeit indoors (at least for this first year), Festningen - a pop music festival up by... Kristiansten Festning, Olavsfest - a cultural festival, with music, food and drink, talks, etc, held mainly in the Archbishop's Palace grounds and the cathedral grounds, with religious undertones, Nidaros Blues - quite self explanatory, Trondheim kammermusikkfestival - Trondheim Chamber Music Festival, Various specialty food and drinks festivals, Etc, etc

[@lifeinnorway1]

Great tips, thanks for sharing!

[@nikor1775]

Many thanks for the great video! I would love to visit Trondheim and its musical instruments museum. Why didn't you mention it? I hope it's still open 😊

[@lifeinnorway1]

Hi yes it is still open.

[@agnarh3840]

Yeah, Rockheim should be included!!

[@srenh-p3798]

Hi, in one of your articles on Oslo you mention that you have asthma. So do I. How do you like Trondheim for living in terms of asthma? Does the the air feel clean?

[@lifeinnorway1]

I’ve never had a problem in Norway 🙌

[@removechan10298]

I notice demographics are missing on this town's wikipedia page...

[@brigidspencer5123]

You sound English and I am curious as to why you moved here? Do you also speak Norwegian?

[@lifeinnorway1]

I am now a British-Norwegian dual citizen, I moved to Norway in 2011 originally for work but I run my own business now.

[@coolbreez773]

Is there anything ugly in Norway and is there any policies which their Govts. get catastrophically wrong?

[@lifeinnorway1]

There’s things people don’t like in every country in the world, I’m sure!

[@coolbreez773]

I'm sure there is but the Norwegians, Finnish and most other regions in Scandinavia appear to implement much better workable policies and have much better social structures, urban infrastructure compared to UK & US @@lifeinnorway1
