A gothic


cathedral Nidaros Cathedral is Norway’s most famous church, and the only one built in the Gothic style. Built over the burial place of St. Olav, the patron saint of Norway, the construction of this enor- mous building started as far back as the 1100s.


Discover the old capital


––– Trondheim, formerly called Nidaros, was founded in 997 A.D. and was Norway’s capital from 1030 to 1217.


The city is home to Norway’s national shrine, Nidaros Cathedral, which has been a popular pilgrimage destina- tion for nearly 1,000 years. Today, it is a city of students, technology, culture, cycling and food. Trondheim’s architecture and surroundings create a beautiful, almost mystical atmosphere for any outing, whether you prefer a guided tour of Nidaros Cathedral, kayaking on the River Nid and into the city’s smaller channels, or a casual walk or bicycle ride among the beautifully restored wooden buildings in the Bakklandet district.

The lighthouse Kjeungskjær Lighthouse is located on a tiny island – and we pass it on our way north. This red brick, octagonal light- house is 20.6 metres tall. Built in 1880, it was automated in 1987. The light is lit from July 21 until May 16. The Midnight Sun makes the light unnecessary during the interim period.
