Trondheim is a long-established city that has been the capital for Norway for nearly 200 years.
The city, which was originally established as a trade center, later took on a political identity and Norway was ruled by the Vikings in the 1200s.
Although Trondheim is not the capital today, it is as important a city as Oslo. Thanks to its geographical location, historical and cultural structure, and NTNU University, being a student city are the elements that make the city of Trondheim important.
My advice for travelers may be:
* You can visit the city in the most beautiful summer months without getting cold. Although it is quite cold in winter, I do not know if you can tolerate temperatures reaching 30C in summer but the best period is summer: My visit was in July and it was very nice.
* If you choose the airline to Trondheim, you can fly from Istanbul to Oslo and from there to Trondheim. There are also direct flights to Oslo from Konya, Antalya and Izmir in the summer months. Or make Amsterdam from Turkey, from there you can now direct Trondheim. By the way, there is a continuous flight to Trondheim in almost 45 minutes after arriving in Oslo. So Take precautions against the possibility of delays in departure from Turkey. Thanks to the frequent flights of Norwegian Airlines, you will not be on the road, do not worry :)
* If you are going to visit Trondheim as a tourist, you should not forget that the periods with the least daylight are the winter months: In January, the sun rises at 10.00 in the morning and sets at 14.30. Therefore, I can say that the most suitable periods for activities and visits in the daylight are summer months. In the meantime, be prepared for long days and short nights in summer.
* I stopped using alcohol some time ago. In fact, I am glad that I quit, I can say: I am renewed both spiritually, economically and physically. Anyway, this is not the case, but I have some advice for alcohol users: alcoholic beverages are very high in bars and cafes. Therefore, it will be more economical to buy alcohol from the market. Alcoholic beverages are forbidden after 20.00. Also, alcoholic beverages are forbidden on Sundays. Those who constantly expose Norway as an atheist country have forgotten that alcohol sales in Norway are closed on Sundays for religious reasons.
* If you are in Trondheim, there is a coastline where you can walk from the port to the city center. If you are a sea lover like me, don't forget to hike along the coastline.

* If I was at your place, I would sit on the beach for a while without doing anything, I would breathe clean and slightly cool Nordic air inside me.
The horizons are not immense, you are on the shore of a sea surrounded by Norwegian fjords. The color of the sea may be dark or even scary for some (Where is that blue on our Mediterranean shores!) You will see an islet right in front of you. This islet is one of the symbols of Trondheim. There is a monastery on it. Unfortunately, I was not able to visit the islet due to my limited time. However, I would like to give you brief information about this monastery and islet. There are definitions about this islet: The fear given to the people who wanted to come to this region by hanging their enemies during the Vikings period, a prison where the criminals and political convicts were executed, a military base used by the Germans during the Nazi occupation, and later a religious monastery island. It was also registered as an island where foreigners who came as a precaution against epidemic diseases were kept in quarantine for some time during the absence of war. Today, it is a center of attraction for both Trondheimers and tourists. Especially in summer, I can say that it is an escape point for those who want to swim and sunbathe.
* As I mentioned in my previous article, Nidaros cathedral is one of the landmarks of Trondheim. It has a history of 900 years and is the second largest cathedral in Europe.
* As I was touring in the city of Trondheim, I encountered an interesting structure. It is one of the symbols of Trondheim, which they call "old town brigde". The bridge, dating back to the 1600s, connects the two sides of Trondheim over the Nidelva River. In the area, which is also a popular place for tourists today, you can take a selfie by taking the houses of Trondheim's old architecture behind you. So did I :)
* After crossing the bridge, you can walk in the narrow streets of the old city of Trondheim. With its tiny wooden houses, colorful roofs, ornate wooden doors, friendly people and clean streets, Trondheim is almost out of the city format and actually looks like a town.
For Trondheim, 2 days is enough for solo travelers and 3 days for families with children. Personally, I loved the city of Trondheim, the only drawback is the climate and the short daytime periods in winter ...
