Trondheim and Nidaros Cathedral

The guides meet you at the quay, and the excursion continues by bus through the centre of Trondheim to Nidaros Cathedral. The cathedral is built over the burial site of Saint Olav, who was killed at Stiklestad in 1030, and has been one of the Nordic region's largest pilgrimage sites since the Middle Ages. You'll go inside the cathedral and join a guided tour, before we return by bus to the ship.

On the bus through the city's streets and districts, the guide will tell you more about the history and point out the highlights. You get a great overview with a view across the fjord and the city from the photo stop at "Utsikten". Here you also see the majestic Nidaros Cathedral, which is a landmark in the city with its towers and 91-metre spire.

Nidaros Cathedral is Norway's national shrine and has been a pilgrimage destination for almost a thousand years. The cathedral was built over the grave of St Olav, the Viking king who brought Christianity to Norway. The church has also been used for the coronation of Norwegian kings and queens right up to the present time.

The last stop on the Trondheim excursion is a visit to Nidaros Cathedral, which is one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe. You will have time to discover the church on your own and also to take part in a tour that tells you about the building itself and the church's history. You will receive a beautiful book about the cathedral as a reminder of your visit.

The cathedral may be closed or have restricted access due to religious services, religious holidays, or other events.
