Trondheim Pur – Explore the Highlights by Bus & on Foot

This combined tour by bus and guided walk offers a complete experience of Trondheim from different perspectives. In around 3.5 hours, the city’s main attractions are discovered comfortably by bus and then on foot.

Part 1: 2-hour Trondheim Bus Tour

The tour starts at the Pirbadet parking lot, just a short walk from the cruise terminal. By bus, the route leads through Trondheim’s most important districts.

First, the bus drives past Solsiden, offering a brief glimpse of its vibrant atmosphere and the iconic colorful riverside warehouses along the River Nid.

Next, tour continues through the city center, passing the historic Hotel Britannia and the royal residence Stiftsgården. From there, the bus drives uphill to the Sverresli viewpoint, where a photo stop offers panoramic views over Trondheim and the surrounding fjord landscape.

Back in the city, the route passes the university area and continues up to the historic Kristiansten Fortress. A photo stop allows time to enjoy the impressive view over the city.

The bus tour ends at the Nidaros Cathedral, Trondheim’s most famous landmark.

Part 2: 1.5-hour Guided City Walk

From the Nidaros Cathedral, the tour continues on foot through areas not accessible by bus.

The walk begins with an external visit of Nidaros Cathedral, Norway’s national sanctuary and the northernmost Gothic cathedral in Europe. The route then crosses the Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) – a perfect spot for photos of the colorful river warehouses.

In the charming district of Bakklandet, colorful wooden houses, cozy cafés, and the world’s only Trampe bicycle lift shape the atmosphere.

Along Kjøpmannsgata, the walk continues to the market square (Torvet) with the statue of Olav Tryggvason, the founder of Trondheim. Just behind the square lies Stiftsgården with its beautiful palace park. The tour ends past Hotel Britannia, across the railway bridge, and along the Rockheim Museum, returning to the harbor.
