Trondheim is located in the district Trøndelag in the heart of Norway. As the third largest city in Norway, with its 200 000 inhabitants Trondheim is described as a big village or a small city. Trondheim was Norway's first capital city, founded more than 1000 years ago in 997 – but now, instead of Viking raiders and Hanseatic traders, Trondheim is a city where the fusion of history, arts, technology and green initiatives ignite a culture of innovation and rich tradition. Mid-Norway has the highest number of quality food producers in Norway, both fish/seafood and meat, reflected in the large selection of high-quality restaurants serving both traditional Norwegian and international dishes. Walking in Bakklandet full of small cafes and restaurants nestled in colorful wooden houses, visiting Nidaros Cathedral, would, among other sites, be worth it. For more information visit.

Even though Trondheim might sound far away, it has in fact become closely connected to Europe. Trondheim International Airport has daily direct flights to and from Amsterdam (KLM), Copenhagen (SAS) and Stockholm (SAS). There are also non-daily direct flights to and from several other destinations in Europe (e.g., London, Gdansk, Krakow, Riga, Berlin, Helsinki, Alicante, Malaga and Split).

There are many daily flights to and from Oslo (SAS and Norwegian Air Shuttle) – only a 50 minute flight away – with many European and intercontinental connections.

The airport is located 32 km east of Trondheim. Buses to Trondheim run every 20 min – or you can go by train or taxi.

Trondheim can also be reached by train from Oslo (SJ.no) or by Coastal Express (Hurtigruten) from Bergen along the seaways of the Norwegian fjords.

EU/EEA citizens do not need a visa to visit Norway, and can stay for up to three months. This also applies if you have a residence permit in an EU/EEA country. 

On the official website of The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, you will find a list of countries outside the EU/EEA area that have visa exemption agreements with Norway, and their citizens do not need visas either.

If you are from a country not on this list, you have to apply for a visa, and must fill in the country you are a citizen of, and continue by following the instructions given by The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration.
