We arrive by ship at 6:30 in the morning in the port of Trondheim; Norway’s 3rd largest city. It is home to a University of 40,000.

We had breakfast and disembarked from the ship by 8, and made our way to the Radisson Blu Garden Hotel shortly after. Our room happened to be ready, which was so nice! We were able to unwind a bit before heading out. This was my fave hotel.

Had to layer up. Getting used to being a bit puffy and uncomfortable for the sake of staying warm!

I had done some reading about Trondheim and we knew there were a few “must sees”, but also knew it was a city to just explore by foot. And that is what we did:

We first headed out to check out the two main bridges Bakke Bru (new bridge) and Gamle Bybro (old bridge) to take some shots of the incredibly gorgeous river lined with even more gorgeous and colourful houses (ok I know there will be overkill with all the cute house and river shots, but with different lighting throughout the day, I had to keep taking more!)

Have to laugh at how puffy we look!!:

We visited the famous cathedral “Nidaros” which did not disappoint!

We headed over the Gamle Bybro and wandered around the old area “Bakklandet” and then walked up to the “Kristiansten Fortress” where we took in some amazing views.

Strange little guy; we couldn’t find any info on him:

We headed back down and found a cute place for lunch called “Kalas & Canasta” where we had this amazing special of the day of a fish sandwich/salad with peas. Sooooo good!

We wandered more along the water and then returned for a siesta in our hotel. We have been really trying to pace ourselves this trip to seeing things, walking around just taking it all in, and just resting and relaxing. It’s been a great rhythm.

We headed out again to see the city with different light and stopped in a little Kaffe for an afternoon snack, walked around and explored the newer city. We liked the older part much better:)

Got some of my fave views with different light:

Dinner was at a local place called Superhero Burgers. It was filled with students which we thought was a good sign as it was locals only. The burgers were really good! I forgot to get a pic of the restaurant:(

We walked around a bit, but it was getting a little too cold without the warmth of the sun.

Our hotel by night:

Another awesome day! Trondheim was well worth a visit!
