Norway's third city, Trondheim (pronounced Tronjem) was the capital once. This presumably accounts for its fabulous cathedral, the most northerly Gothic cathedral in Europe.

Getting There

By Plane

Trondheim Airport (TRD) is one of the bigger airports in Norway and still in the top 100 of Europe. It is almost 20 kilometres east of the city. About 10 airlines serve the airport, mostly throughout northern, western and southern Europe.

To/from the airport:

  • Rail: Norwegian State Railways operates trains to and from Trondheim Airport. There are three daily express trains, one to Mo i Rana and two to Bodø. One of the Bodø-trains is a night train. Travel time to Mo i Rana is 6 hours and travel time to Bodø is 9 hours. The Trøndelag Commuter Rail offers hourly services in each direction: northbound to Steinkjer and southbound to Trondheim and Lerkendal. It takes around half an hour to Trondheim.
  • Car: The airport is located along European Route E6 and E14. The airports connects to Norwegian National Road 705, which again connects with the E6 shortly after. Taxis, short-term and long-term parking, and rental cars are all widely available at the airport.
  • Bus: http://www.klaburuten.no|Klaburuten]] operates the Airport Express Coaches four times hourly to Downtown Trondheim, stopping at major hotels, Trondheim Central Station and the Munkegata Terminal. Nettbuss operates city and regional buses to Selbu and Oppdal from the bus station near the airport, and TrønderBilene operates Norway Bussekspress coaches to Namsos.

Post

Red mailboxes are found easily and post offices are plentiful, with opening hours on most being 9:00am to 5:00pm, with usually shorter hours on Saturday. Stamps can usually only be found at post offices although some popular tourist venues might carry them. Norway's postal system, "Posten", has a good website with a lot of English information including up to date prices and also details about the opening hours of the nearest post office. The most commonly sent format for travellers, letters and cards up to 20 grams, currently require the following stamps:

  • Within Norway: 7 NOK.
  • Within Europe: 9 NOK.
  • Worldwide: 11 NOK.
