Cycling In Trondheim

A lot of effort has been put in to make Trondheim the most bike-friendly city in Norway. The city now has more than 5km of red cycle lanes running through its centre. Today, we’ll join the countless locals that cycle and embark on a relaxing bike tour of Trondheim. 

We’ll start from where the ship is docked and cycle along the fjord, before crossing the new bike bridge. This bridge offers some great views of Munkholmen island, Trondheim’s version of Alcatraz. From here, we’ll cycle via the neighbourhood of Ila along the river Nid, where you’ll spot the impressive Nidaros Cathedral.  

Entering the buzzy Bakklandet district, we’ll stop for coffee and pastries at one of the many cosy cafés in the area. Heading back to the ship, we’ll cross the historic district and the modernised part of the trendy Solsiden area, a former shipyard which has become very popular with the locals.
