Travel to Trondheim

Travel information for attendees to ICPA 2024.

By air

Trondheim is served by Trondheim Airport (TRD) at Værnes, with flights to and from most other airports in Norway. With direct flights with KLM from Amsterdam, SAS from London and Copenhagen there are plenty of possibilities to get to Trondheim with only one stopover connection from most places.

Getting from the airport to your hotel and conference venue

The airport is about half an hour from the city centre, with several options for making the journey including Værnesexpressen (airport express bus service), train (priced very reasonably as a local public transport journey), ride sharing platforms and taxi.

The airport express bus (Værnesexpressen) has departures leaving from the arrivals’ terminal to the city center about every 20 minutes. You can find the airport express bus right outside the arrival hall. The Solsiden stop (View map) is the closest bus stop to the conference venue and to Scandic Nidelven and Scandic Solsiden hotels. You can buy tickets at the arrivals’ terminal or on the company’s website. Tickets purchased online are cheaper. (Travel time to Solsiden is approximately 25 minutes.)

By Rail

For international visitors wishing to explore other parts of Scandinavia before or after the conference, Trondheim is also accessible by train from Oslo or Østersund in Sweden. The journey from Oslo travels over Dovre mountains, the dividing range between northern and southern Norway. The Trondheim Central Station is adjacent to the city centre. Tickets and more at Entur.

By car

All the major car rental services are available in Norway for those wishing to drive to or from Trondheim. European highway E6 connects north to Narvik and south to Oslo with both directions offering glimpses of the stunning natural scenery that has made Norway a travel destination for centuries.
