Trondheim is a big city by Norwegian standards but you can easily walk from the train station by the north end of town to the cathedral at the south end in 15 minutes. The nice thing about walking around in downtown Trondheim is that there’s an interesting mix of old and new buildings. To find the real jewel of the city you’ll have to cross the river Nidelva over to a part of town known as Bakklandet, an old working-class area with charming wooden buildings. You can get there by taking the Bakke Bridge from the north end of town, but the best way is to enter from the south, for example after visiting the cathedral, and walk across the bridge called Gamle Bybro. While standing on this old wooden bridge you will get one of the best views in the whole city, looking down the river toward the harbor, with Bryggene, the old fishing storehouses, on your left.
