Trondheim has a short summer, but that just means that the people of Trøndelag know how to make the most of it, with markets and festivals, plenty of swimming opportunities and hiking terrain. The city streets are also at their busiest in summer, both in the shopping districts of Midtbyen and the pleasant Bakklandet on the other side of the Nidelva.

If you plan your trip in advance, you can attend major events such as the Pstereo Festival or Martnan. If you have to improvise, it's worth keeping an eye out for other events, and in the worst case, just enjoy the city summer like the locals, going to Munkholmen for a swim, taking a stroll along the Nidelva or enjoying refreshments in the sun.

    A Hike Along the Nidelva

    Roaring Waterfalls and Salmon Fishing

    A Hike Along the Nidelva

    • Famílias

    A trip along the Nidelva is a great activity that everyone will enjoy, with a well-maintained hiking trail through idyllic areas along one of Norway's best salmon rivers. Nidelvstien is a project that in time will connect Klæbu and Trondheim, and the stretch between Leirfossene and Tempe in Trondheimsmarka is already in place.

    The Øvre Leirfoss waterfall is most impressive in the spring, but flows well all year round. Another option is to go by the old power plant at Nedre Leirfoss and watch the salmon fishermen further down. Walking over the suspension bridge to the islets below Kroppanbrua is an exciting detour, and benches and tables have been set up in several places should you want to take a break.

    Exploring the city by bike is a great way to sightsee as you are always close to the urban environment while covering large distances without much effort. In a small town like Trondheim, everything is within easy reach. A good route could be a look around Kalvskinnet, a visit to Nidaros Cathedral followed by a cycle through Bakklandet.

    A nice short trip is Hjertepromenaden - five easy kilometres in the middle of the city. All cyclists should also try the Trampe bike lift. Observe experienced bike lift users first, then you'll get up Brubakken without breaking out in a sweat. If you have time to spare, you can explore Bymarka, and if you don't have your own bike, you can join guided tours, rent a bike or use a city bike, which is available from spring to late autumn.

    Bakklandet is an idyllic area in Trondheim along the east bank of the Nidelva, between Bakke bridge and Vollafallet. The area is known for its small wooden houses, cobbled streets and a generally pleasant neighbourhood feel.

    The district is known and referred to as Trondheim's old town, but was originally a suburb that grew freely and undisturbed into a district on a human scale, with a uneven street levels and cosy nooks and crannies. The best access from the city centre is over the beautiful Gamle ByBro, which is a sight in itself. From there, just walk up along Øvre Bakklandet or down along Nedre Bakklandet and take in the cafés and restaurants such as Baklandet Skydsstasjon and the antiques shop near the bridge. During the Bakkland Days in late summer, the streets fill with concerts, markets and exhibitions.

    Trip to Solsiden

    Sunny Outdoor Seating in the Former Shipyard

    Trip to Solsiden
    • Compras

    Solsiden is a shopping centre in the Nedre Elvehavn district in central Trondheim, which has a distinctive quay area with a number of restaurants and pleasant outdoor areas.

    The shopping centre is located in the area where Trondheim's Mechanical Workshop used to operate in 1983, and which has since been transformed into a commercial and residential area. Remains from the shipyard operations are still evident, such as the huge crane that towers over Solsiden's cocktail bars and outdoor cafés. The southwest-facing quay at TMV's old dock lives up to the name Solsiden (sunny side), so this is the place to sit on a summer's day. When you've had enough of the sun, café life and shopping, you can visit the culture house Dokkhuset on the other side of the dock for some cultural fulfilment.

    Trondheim's Main Square
    • Econômico

    Torvet is the main square in Trondheim and the heart of the city, and after a major renovation, it has been given a look and a design that lives up to the status of the city's foremost meeting place. The first impression of Torvet is that of a simple, large and open space with gray stone slabs, but car-free surroundings, discreet planting, a universal design and people of all ages create a pleasant setting around the magnificent statue of the city's founder Olav Tryggvason in the middle.

    As the winner of the Landscape Architecture Prize 2020, it is clear that the place has great qualities, not least as an inviting place to stop, with plenty of plenty of good seating. Look out for the beautiful patterns and sculptures in the slate slabs and benches.
