Trondheim, Norway
Additional Information:
- Class: City
- Activities: If evaluating cruise destinations is like exploring a vast library, Trondheim is the magnificent, classic history section with a very comfortable reading room. It doesn't have the high-adrenaline "Action/Adventure" of Tromsø, nor does it suffer from the crowded "Pop Culture" bottlenecks of tiny Geiranger. It scores exceptionally high on "City" and "Enrichment" because it is a grand, authentic, architectural masterpiece where you can easily immerse yourself in Norway's deep heritage. - kayaking down the Nidelva river right through the city center or hiking in the nearby Bymarka forest - Viking Age capital of Norway; home to the spectacular Nidaros Cathedral (the burial place of St. Olav and the traditional coronation site for Norwegian kings), the Archbishop's Palace, and several excellent museums (like the Sverresborg open-air folk museum - Bakklandet neighborhood offers peaceful cobblestone streets lined with cozy waterfront cafes
