IN TOWN FOR A DAY To do Trondheim, is to walk Trondheim. The city is a prefect microcosm of a larger metropolis; a medieval city centre, circled by a river, with concentric domestic suburbs, enveloped by mountains and fjord. All of which are accessible by foot. One long summer’s day in Trondheim is ample time to get a perspective of the city, quite literally in the case of these tips from some of the city’s most outward looking residents.

City Walk Kristine Rise Oi mat Project Manager
In summer, everyone should make a day for a stroll around the city without a specific plan. For a day like this, I suggest meeting up at Ravnkloa for ice cream or fish cakes, or to have the Fløttmann row you over to Troll and Kafé Skuret. Maybe walk along Brattøra to E.C. Dahls Pub and Brewery, continuing on to Ladekaia, Sponhuset or Land og Strand (remember to book a table there). Walk or stop when you want; mix in some boules, volleyball or taking a swim whether it’s a cloudy or sunny to have a great, food-filled, day!

From the inmost parking lot in Tømmerdalen (timber valley) we follow the gravel road towards the farm Tømmerdal Nordre. On the way to the cliffs there is a great opportunity to admire Holstdammen lake. IMAGE Trondhjems Turistforeningen
62. Nidaros Cathedral Øystein Digr Craftsman and computer nerd at Nidaros Cathedral restoration workshop If you haven't already, take a tour to the tower of Nidaros Cathedral, available only during the summer. There are a lot of steps up to the top, but it’s well worth it for the view of the river Nidelva and quayside buildings. Inside the cathedral you will also find one of Europe’s greatest, newly restored organs; the fine lines of the instrument remind me of Northern Lights. I also recommend having a walk around the exterior of the cathedral and looking for the grotesques sculptures chiseled into the walls: everyone will find a favorite. 32
