By far the perfect sized city on my travel list. It's not huge nor crowded, but yet it's not small nor remote, neither located in the middle of nowhere. There are malls and rows of shops which you can find almost anything, all within walking distance. Took half a day sight seeing, while window shopping for the remaining half.
Here's my top list:
1. Nidaros Cathedral. Entrance tickets are sold in various parts - Nidaros Cathedral, The Archbishop’s Palace Museum and The Crown Regalia. An all-in-one ticket can also be purchased. We've only purchased entrance ticket to Nidaros Cathedral (90NOK per person, approximately RM45), slightly pricier compared to many other catherdrals around Europe. But having to experience its magnificence being the largest medieval building in Scandinavia, it's totally worth it. Each detail in and around the cathedral tells of a story.
2. Window shopping. We hung around Kongens gate for a bit, hopping into various books and art shops. The scene at Kongens gate reminded me of Myeongdeong street in South Korea, just way less crowded and prettier, which makes window shopping even more pleasurable. Husband also bought a pair of winter boots from Trondheim Trog mall, which only costs us less than RM300.
3. Explore Bakklandet. Cross river Nidelven via the Old Town Bridge built in 1681 (Gamle Bybro) and you'll reach Bakklandet - a charming neighbourhood filled with unique cafes and boutiques. Read that this neighbourhood bubbles with live, but while we were there during winter, it was so beautifully serene.
