Trondheim is a large city by Norwegian standards, though it has still managed to preserve both the charm and intimacy of a small town. It is also a town full of contrasts, with monastery ruins, impressive wooden buildings, colorful wharfs, and a beautiful red-painted city bridge dating back to 1861.

It is home to a world famous research and educational community, modern sports facilities, and a lively nightlife. You will hear all about the city's many features as the bus takes us on a voyage of discovery through Trondheim's streets and boroughs, including a short stop at "Utsikten" ("The View") to admire the city from up high. As no sightseeing trip to Trondheim is complete without visiting one of its premier cultural treasures, we will of course make time to take in the impressive Nidaros Cathedral. Built over the burial place of St. Olav, the patron saint of Norway, the construction of this enormous building, with its countless details and decorations, began as early as 1070. After a compelling guided tour around the Gothic-style cathedral, you'll understand why many describe it as the most beautiful church in Norway.
