The following options are available for transfer to downtown Trondheim. All accept credit cards (minimum Visa and MasterCard).
*Flybussen [url=http://flybussen.no/en/Trondheim]]buses depart every 10 minutes. Fares (one-way/return) are 120/220 NOK (student 90/150 NOK, child up to 16 years or senior 60 NOK (one way only)). Stops near most hotels in downtown Trondheim. Journey time is 30-60 min depending on destination. Free Wi-Fi onboard.
*Værnes-Ekspressen [url=http://vaernesekspressen.no/[/url]]buses depart somewhat less frequent than Flybussen. Check the schedule before buying a return ticket. 130/220 NOK (student 90/150 NOK, child or senior 60/120 NOK). Drives into the city centre like flybussen, but also goes up to Moholt Studentby (and Voll Studentby), where most international and exchange students are housed.
*Trains [url=http://www.nsb.no/[/url]]depart to Trondheim once per hour. One-way fares are 71 NOK (student 53 NOK, child or senior 36 NOK). Buy from the ticket machine at the station to avoid the additional 40 NOK onboard surcharge. Take left when exiting the arrivals hall and proceed around 100 m past the airport hotel to reach the train station. Cheaper and more scenic than by bus, but far less frequent and not very practical if your destination is not close to a railway station. Journey time to Trondheim Central Station is 35-40 min. Train may however be the best option for transfer to many other destinations such as [[Levanger[/url]], [wiki=8b141e5fa007a91198937209da11d7fe]Verdal[/wiki] and [wiki=18147716de7c764161a6ba7b06e6a863]Steinkjer[/wiki]. Long distance Regiontog towards [wiki=c6b7928371214dfe81528d2268a9c563]Fauske[/wiki] and [wiki=caae123b3d3cba9e2cdfbd06f0568d84]Bodø[/wiki] in [wiki=d8e6cc1c526dd6550820743e1c471b7d]Northern Norway[/wiki] pass the airport three times daily.
*Taxi companies include (but are not limited to) Trøndertaxi, [url=http://www.trondertaxi.no/]]Norgestaxi [url=http://www.norgestaxi.no/trondheim[/url]]and Stjørdal Taxi [http://www.stjordal-taxi.no/[/url]. Many offer fixed price to Trondheim in shared or chartered taxi.
NSB operates four daily trains between Oslo and Trondheim on the Dovre line [url=http://www.nsb.no/getfile.php/www.nsb.no/nsb.no/PDF/Rutetabeller/21-Oslo-Trondheim.pdf].]These are the quickest mode of ground transport between the cities.
There are no longer direct trains on the Røros line [url=http://www.nsb.no/getfile.php/www.nsb.no/nsb.no/PDF/Rutetabeller/25-Oslo-Hamar-R%C3%B8ros-Trondheim.pdf[/url],]but there are two daily connections to Oslo, with changes in Røros and Hamar.
Three daily trains make their way northwards on the Nordlandsbanen [url=http://www.nsb.no/getfile.php/www.nsb.no/nsb.no/PDF/Rutetabeller/71-Trondheim-Bod%C3%B8.pdf[/url]]towards [[Mosjøen[/url]] and [wiki=ff7e8d23ebdd0ac067fd784ba4bb146c]Mo i Rana[/wiki], with two of them continuing to [wiki=c6b7928371214dfe81528d2268a9c563]Fauske[/wiki] and [wiki=caae123b3d3cba9e2cdfbd06f0568d84]Bodø[/wiki]. Fauske is the main hub for buses northwards, for instance to [wiki=5f6268b93246f0f34898ef24c82a07bd]Lofoten[/wiki]. Incidentally, the night service passes Hell station just before midnight...
Local trains (Lokaltog) [url=http://www.nsb.no/getfile.php/www.nsb.no/nsb.no/PDF/Rutetabeller/PDF-026-Tronderbanen-stortkort-13-12-09_12-06-10.pdf]]between Trondheim and the airport, continuing to Steinkjer, depart every hour on weekdays, roughly every second hour on weekends. Trains for Oppdal and Røros depart a few times per day.
The Nabotåget [url=http://www.nsb.no/getfile.php/www.nsb.no/nsb.no/PDF/Rutetabeller/PDF-072%20Ostersund-Storlien%20kort.pdf[/url]]service runs twice daily to the Swedish border at [[Storlien[/url]], continuing to the ski resort [wiki=726fedf40457abd7dd406024b926a128]Åre[/wiki] and the city of [wiki=c2181a197f2eaf5a165de7a96c5d1290]Östersund[/wiki]. There are connections to [wiki=fcfff492e00727b63cf5dff9f59bc2a4]Stockholm[/wiki], [wiki=7e268c60ba15269bd8aafe315096ecc2]Gothenburg[/wiki] and [wiki=cbaa074821ecc261927db58b8a5bb3ca]Malmo[/wiki].
Train tickets may be purchased from the conductor onboard the train or from ticket vending machines at major stations. NSB imposes a 40 NOK surcharge if purchasing the ticket onboard the train which is waived if there are no ticket machines at your station of departure.
Tickets may also be booked online in advance with NSB [url=https://www.nsb.no/?lang=en_US].]Tickets for local trains may not be booked online, although they will still appear in the booking system with their price and schedule. Nabotåget tickets may be booked online with either NSB or its swedish counterpart SJ [url=http://www.sj.se/start/startpage/index.form?l=en[/url].]Prices and discount types differ between the two, so it might be worthwile to check both for the lowest price.
For long distance travel, restricted tickets (branded as Minipris) ranging from 249 to 499 NOK are usually available if booking online at the NSB website well in advance. On long journeys such as to [[Bodø[/url]] or [wiki=f4830432874f86d2e2a1a5f2dbebbc80]Oslo[/wiki], this might be a fraction of the price of a full fare ticket. Minipris tickets are made available for sale with limited availability approximately 3 months prior to departure, and can be purchased no later than 1 day in advance. It is recommended to book early to get the cheapest tickets. Note that unlike full fare tickets there are no reduced fares (e.g. student fare, military discount etc.) on Minipris tickets.
The Norwegian north-south highway E6 passes Trondheim. The coastal highway E39 has its terminus at Klett, 10 km south of Trondheim, where it joins the E6. The eastbound E14 forks off from E6 near the airport.
Parking in the city centre is easy, but expensive. Useful parking spots include the central station, the garage under the main square, the garage in Fjordgata, the Central Park garage, the garage in Sandgata (ALWAYS empty spots here).
From Oslo, Nor-way Bussekspress [url=http://www.nor-way.no]]runs the Østerdalsekspressen [url=http://www.nor-way.no/wsp/nbe/frontend.cgi?session=qovd71uy46sem4bimy2brvojcsbpaa&func=frontend.show&func_id=135&template=vis_rutetider&tr=t[/url]]via Elverum and Tynset. No prebooking needed. This bus is painfully much more slow than the train, but convenient if you are going to/from some of the destinations the train don't serve.
Also from Oslo, the Lavprisekspressen [url=https://lavprisekspressen.no/index.php[/url]]budget bus line runs along the E6 all the way. Tickets must be booked and prepaid on the internet site. They are infinitely cheaper than Nor-Way, and are the cheapest alternative if you get discount tickets. However, the train is more comfy and quicker, even if the buses are okay.
The Mørelinjen [url=http://www.nor-way.no/wsp/nbe/frontend.cgi?session=qovd71uy46sem4bimy2brvojcsbpaa&func=frontend.show&func_id=630&template=vis_rutetider&tr=t[/url]]express, operated by Nor-Way, runs down the coast towards [[Kristiansund[/url]], [wiki=09346c14b310f8f03065d78fbfff351e]Molde[/wiki] and [wiki=e4ec5f3205b96e00d7f70c2c992aee97]Ålesund[/wiki].
Other Nor-Way lines from Trondheim include the Namsos line[url=http://www.nor-way.no/wsp/nbe/frontend.cgi?session=qovd71uy46sem4bimy2brvojcsbpaa&func=frontend.show&func_id=670&template=vis_rutetider&tr=t]]the Røros line [url=http://www.nor-way.no/wsp/nbe/frontend.cgi?session=qovd71uy46sem4bimy2brvojcsbpaa&func=frontend.show&func_id=611&template=vis_rutetider&tr=t[/url]] and the useful Bergen line [http://www.nor-way.no/wsp/nbe/frontend.cgi?session=qovd71uy46sem4bimy2brvojcsbpaa&func=frontend.show&func_id=440&template=vis_rutetider&tr=t[/url], passing the fjord areas of western Norway on the way and connecting these with Trondheim. All the way to Bergen, it takes a whopping 14 hrs.
If you have the time and money, you should definitely take the Coastal Steamer [wiki=cd978650810d157c9da10755116772b0]Hurtigruten[/wiki] [url=http://www.hurtigruten.no/].]It runs from [[Bergen[/url]] to Trondheim, and on to [wiki=caae123b3d3cba9e2cdfbd06f0568d84]Bodø[/wiki], [wiki=c7050330280ddd7d232db86e6a962dfb]Tromsø[/wiki], [wiki=a09b44496b415d25df4c9ee6e11f66f7]Hammerfest[/wiki] and finally [wiki=9bc8534e3e9f4192b6acd2f272055096]Kirkenes[/wiki], just on the Russian border. The trip from Bergen takes 36 hours and costs about 750 NOK if you are a student (be sure to check for updated prices on their home page). This trip takes you through one of the most magnificent parts of coastal Norway, even popping by the famous Geiranger fjord during summer. Travelling north, Bodø is reached in 24 hrs, while Tromsø takes 50 hrs. All the way to Kirkenes takes another two days from Tromsø...
There is also a twice a day catamaran passenger boat-service to Trondheim from Kristiansund.
Nordre gate. The central shopping street in Trondheim, with international stores as well as local shops. Clothes, food, jewellery, watches, electronics, and much more can be found in this pedestrian-only street.
* Thomas Angells Gate. Crossing Nordre gate at approximately half-way, this is a slightly smaller street with record shops and different other stores.
* Fjordgata. Following the canal at the north of the city centre you have this lenghty street filled mainly with speciality stores as well as a decent selection of restaurants.
Trondheim Torg, Kongens g 11. Smack in the middle of the city, this mall should be able to suit most of your needs. This mall especially has many diners/cafés. In 2005 it was extended with about 20 new stores and cafés. No frill, nothing fancy, just a centrally located shopping mall with good prices.
* Mercur Shopping Center, Kongens gate 8. Also very central, this is a smaller and slightly less crowded shopping centre than Torg; a good alternative.
* Byhaven, Olav Tryggvasons g 28. Slightly posh shopping mall with a slight majority of expensive stores. Granted, there were many more posh stores when it opened some years ago now, but the posh enviroment seems to remain.
* Solsiden, Beddingen 10, Nedre Elvehavn. Solsiden translates directly to "The Sunny Side". It was realized and hurrily transformed from an abandoned ship-building site into the hippest shopping mall Trondheim has to offer. Very stylish and well thought out in beautiful surroundings flanked by penthouse apartments as far as you can see. It has a long stretch of restaurants/bars located by the old area where ships were launched back in the good ol' days. Perhaps the most enjoyable of the malls in Trondheim(?). Walk across the pedestrian bridge from close to the train station, or get any eastbound bus from the centre.
* City Syd, Østre Rosten 28 -30, 7075 Tiller. The largest shopping mall in central Norway, with 38000 square metres of shops, restaurants and whatever else you can think of. Slightly off the beaten tourist track but it can be reached by bus/taxi. The buses 46 and 47 connects City Syd with downtown and has frequent departures, the ride is about 15 minutes. In addition there are 2 other shopping malls in close proximity (200 and 300 meters) to City Syd (easily spotted from the City Syd parking Lots), "StorM Sentret" and the larger "TillerTorget".
* City Lade, Haakon VIIs gate 9. A new-ish, large mall at Lade, some 3kms from the centre. Bus 4 takes you there.
Studentersamfundet, Elgeseter gate 1. In the weird, wild, round, red house that houses the Interrail centre in summer and the student society otherwise. The café Edgar serve some decent grub for not too much money (The chocolate cake is big and cheap). The entrance is at the glass entrance in the right of the big entrance. Go through the back door and to the left. Lyche (entrance from the south) serves really good food (soups, sanwiches, dinner, dessert) for reasonable prices. Check on their websites if they are actually open. All southbound buses stop at Studentersamfundet.
* Student canteens. The size of the university means there are 21 student canteens around, serving up pretty bad food at some of the prices available (48 NOK). Find the list here: [http://www.sit.no/cafes/].
* Hot Dog. Any kiosk will offer pølse in a bun and/or lompe (a soft tortilla-like patty) with condiments, and it may appear to be a cheap meal, though making a habit of eating pølse at all times is strongly discouraged.
* Kafé Knaillhard, Innheredsveien 69c. Kafé Knaillhard is part of the uffahus [url=http://jaguar.intrapoint.no/rw/site/uffa/index.php?c=11&kat=english+information]]and serves vegetarian/vegan food during the week around 6PM for 25 kroner. As of 2011 this place burned down, so there is no food here.
* 1001 Natt, Olav Tryggvasons gate. In the main thoroughfare through the centre, 1001 Natt is one of many kebab-places in the center of the town. They are mostly pretty similar with regards to quality and price. About 90kr for a kebab.
* Sesam, Studentersamfundet. Just by the main entrance, Sesam makes the city's most hyped and beloved burgers.
* Tavern, Trøndelag Folkemuseum. Hardly a bargain at normal times, this old 18th century-inn dishes up all-you-can-eat klubb (potato dumplings with bacon and brown cheese sauce) every Tuesday for well below NOK 100. Well worth it, for a taste of real Norwegian peasant cuisine. At least I like it... Be prepared to roll down the hills towards the city afterwards, this is filling food! (Bus 8 to Trøndelag Folkemuseum)
* Ramp, Strandveien, Svartlamon. This totally laid-back, semi-organic offering in the squat area of Svartlamon is a good places to while away the hours while watching totally exotic people doing their stuff. Great food at great prices. The letdown is the view of a train goods terminal, a German-built submarine bunker complex and that it is cool to the point of pretension; bring your tats and dreads. Any eastbound bus will take you to Strandveien stop.
* EGON Tårnet, Otto Nielsens vei 4, Tyholt. The rotating restaurant at the top of Radio Tower in Tyholt offers a pizza buffet for only NOK 105. (The other meny has HIGH prices). It is every Sunday and Monday from 11AM to 11PM. All other days it is from 11AM to 6PM. Tap water is for free, other beverages. [http://www.egon.no/[/url] with adress and pricelist. (Bus 20 or 60 to Tyholttårnet/Otto Nielsens veg) There are also other EGON outlets around town, the most central being in Søndre gate, Prisens gate and at the Solsiden mall.
Credo Bar, Credoveita just behind Byhaven shopping centre. This is one of the best restaurants in Trondheim, with prices to match. Nice, then, that they have a bar on the 1st floor serving the daily special (choice between fish and meat) for NOK 150(January 2011). It's ALWAYS delicious. 3-course dinner for NOK 275. Enter through the "hidden" door to the left of the restaurant, and walk up the stairs. This bar turns into a rocking place at night.
* Bakklandet Skydsstation, Øvre Bakklandet. The place to find old Norwegian standards, such as kjøttkaker (meat cakes) and baccalao (dried, salted cod in a tomato sauce), in what must be the city's most charming and least right-angled house.
* Cafe Ni Muser, Prinsens gate. Nice, artsy café with good food and a big outdoor section. A bit too close to the traffic-ridden Prinsens gate, however.
* Kaktus, Nedre Bakklandet 6. Located in a small, but wonderful Trondheim street serving a nice range of very tasty food. Includes some mexican and plenty of steaks.
Emilies, Erling Skakkes gate close to the Theatre. A homely gourmet restaurant with a slant towards French cuisine, Emilies is one of the top offerings in town.
* Credo, Credoveita behind Byhaven shopping centre. A top offering with a stellar wine list, this restaurant manages to be both informal, creative and top-end. Expensive, but a memory for life.
Studentersamfundet, Elgeseter gate 1. A big, red, round temple to partying. Major concerts coincide with political meetings, discussions, wine tasting, disco, football matches and... you name it. You are certain to get lost in the mazes of this wonderful house. Fairly empty in summer and on weekdays, but on term time weekends it's good. Expect to pay around NOK 30- 60 in the door on weekends, more if there's a major concert going on. The place is run by approx 1300 student volunteers who do everything from serving drings, rigging concerts, sing in Samfundets choir, play in Samfundets symphony orchestra and hold political debates. Befriend anyone who works there, and try to gain access to their private quarters. Most volunteers are enthusiastic people that often are easy to befriend if you e.g. is a foreigner showing interest. The private quarters are secluded areas where the volunteers hang out after "work", and is an even more elaborate maze with some 20 pubs that stays open all night (and day... and night again...). Closed during summer (May-Aug).
* Bar Circus, Olav Tryggvasons gate 27. Small, quite popular pub/venue and almost always very full - but that's not just because of the music or location, but because of the beer price which is cheap in norwegian terms (36,- for 0,4l.)
* Kieglekroa Pub, Kongens gate 30. Pretty nice place to start your evening. Half-welcoming prices and good music. Try the "kjeglespill" in the basement - amusing, addictive and its for free!
* Den Gode Nabo, Bakklandet. Just across the Old Town bridge and down a scary-looking staircase, this is a brown fisherman's pub in an old warehouse. As atmospheric as it gets, they have Trondheim's most lovely outdoor seating in summer. The place is divided between the "grown ups section" by the entrance, and the "student section" further in. Popular amongst students and all others and not too expensive if you prefer the regular brands. Furthermore, they have an exceptional range of beer and a friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to suggest new things to try.
* DownTown, Near the crossing of Nordre gate and Fjordgata, it is widely known among students due to its pianobar. Cheap beer during the week (19 NOK for 33cl) and a lot of international students, especially on thursday.
* Crash, Just besides DownTown in Nordre gate, being one of the nightclubs in the sweetspot of Trondheim's nightlife it is often crowded in the weekends. Popular club for young people and students.
* Gossip, Nordre gate, across the street of DownTown and Crash. This is an another nightclub which together with DownTown and Crash is the main nightclub visited by students and young people (early twenties). On special occations, halloween for instance, Gossip will be the club most likely to host theme parties.
* Blæst, Solsiden. In the new Solsiden complex at Nedre Elvehavn, Blæst is the best and most affordable offering. Discos and major concerts are held. Good outdoor seating along the whole front, but Blæst has the cheapest beer of the 6-7 pubs there.
* Cafe 3b, Brattørgata. 3b is an institution in Trondheim. Leading on in the "big beer war" of the -90's, it was dirt cheap for years. Now it's more expensive, but it's still an enjoyable, black hole catering for rock and indie kids of every denomination imaginable. Hiphop kids have their own private dungeon down the corridor behind the bar in the basement.
* Credo, Credoveita behind Byhaven shopping centre. Above the Credo restaurant is the 3b for grown ups. Rock and indie for people who know their musical history, and the occasional live gig of guaranteed quality music. Entrance in the dark alley around the corner from the restaurant. Hard to spot unless the smokers are taking fresh air.
* Fru Lundgreens, Olavskvartalet. In the basement of the concert hall, Fru Lundgreens looks like the inside of a lung but has good, cheap beer and a brilliant jukebox. Crowd is rock. Pooltable in the back. Prices vary on time, but always good value. The food of the day is good if you need something with your beer.
* Carl Johan, Nordre gate. The northernmost end of Nordre gate is the hub of Trondheims nightlife, with mainstream discos, sausage kiosks and lots of drunk, well-dressed people. Carl Johan is a straightforward pub with more relaxed ambience than most offerings in the area.
* Kjemikjellern, (Often pronounced Sjemisjeller'n by drunk students visiting from southeastern Norway), A great place for getting drunk in the weekends, very cheap beer and booze. Try befriending some local students and you might get to taste some lovely karsk.
* Kvilhaugen gård, Tyholt (bus 60 to Kvilhaugen). If you venture out of the centre to get your beer, make it here. Wonderful outdoor seating with views of most of Trondheim. Inside, it's an old farmhouse with plenty of atmosphere.
* Bakklandet Skydsstation, Øvre Bakklandet. Doubles as a cosy cafe-cum-pub at night.
* Cafe Ni Muser, Prinsens gate. Their outdoor section is packed with artsy types in summer. A lovely spot to get imbibed, just by the Cathedral.
* Mormors Stue, Although being a café, it's most known as becoming the cheapest place to buy beer, which at the same time provides a nostalgic atmosphere. The down side is that you have to come early to be sure to get a seat, and that it closes early.
* Familien, Dronningens gate 11. Plays all kinds of music and caters to all kinds of people. A nice place if you want to dance, discuss or just drink with the other people. Cheap beer before 11PM.
* Trondhjem Mikrobryggeriet, Prinsensgt. 39. A brewery pub offering a range of beer brewed in-house (about six kinds plus a seasonal special). Prices for a 0.5L about 50% higher than elsewhere, but the only place in town to offer an IPA and a bitter from tap - along with the other four. Substantial food is served, too.
Mormors Stue. In the centre of town, this cafe has a cake-buffet on Sundays, 69nok for as much cake and tea/coffee as you can eat and drink. Carrot cake, cheesecake, apple cake, chocolate cake... all are totally edible. The free coffee's not up to Dromedar standards by far, but do go in a group and hang out for an hour or two. It's a good way to spend a hung over Sunday afternoon. Opens at 1PM on Sundays, be sure to arrive on time to ensure you have place to sit.
* Choco Boco, Solsiden. A good coffee-bar with Italian-style coffee and exotic specials like Snickers coffee. Lovely cakes as well. Decent, free wifi access.
* Dromedar Kaffebar, Nedre Bakklandet and Nordre gate. The best coffee in Norway (save Tim Wendelboes in Oslo), ultra-top-quality coffee comes with the typical laid-back Trondheim atmosphere thrown in for free, especially at their Bakklandet outlet. Plain awesome. Has wifi access.
* UFFA, Innherredsveien 69c. The UFFA-Hus (Ungdom for fri aktivitet) is a autonomous youth-center in Trondheim with a lively history of 25 years. You'll find concerts of regional, norwegian and international Punk, Hardcore and Metal-bands for decent prices. During the week they serve cheep vegetarian food.
Camping There are several managed camp sites, some with huts. If you want to go free-camping, get the tram to the terminus at Lian and walk into the forest from there. Some people camp rough in the area around the fortifications of Kristiansten festning: Do this at your own risk. (This is technically a park.) There is an unofficial law in Norway stating that nature is for everyone, you may camp out anywhere if you keep a distance of 300 meters from homes/structures. It underscores Norwegians deep love of the outdoors & their trust in people using but not abusing this precious resource. If you want to camp close to the city, it is allowed to camp behind the Studentersamfundet, under the administration of Trondheim InterRail Center, during the summer months against a low fee.
Campsites include:
* Flakk [url=http://www.flakk-camping.no/Welcome.html],]close to the ferry terminal for the car ferry to Fosen. (Bus 75 to Flakkråa, infrequent)
* Sandmoen [url=http://www.sandmoen.no/[/url],]south of the city and frequently served by slo-o-ow bus. Shop, huts and all amenities. (Bus 19 or 47 to Sandmoen)
* Vikhammer [url=http://www.vikhammer.no/[/url],]east of the centre near the fjord. (Local bus towards Stjørdal or local train to Vikhammer station, day pass not valid)
* Storsand [url=http://www.storsandcamping.no/[/url],]east of the centre and maybe the most picturesqure of the lot. (Local bus towards Stjørdal, fairly frequent, day pass not valid)
* Øysand [url=http://www.oysandcamping.no/[/url],]south of the city near the Øysand beach. (Local buses towards Orkanger, frequent, day pass not valid).
Hostels include:
* The Trondheim InterRail Centre [url=http://www.tirc.no/[/url]]is run by students at the marvellous student society building near the city campus. It functions as a youth hostel late June to mid-August. Price NOK 180 per person per night including breakfast. There's also free internet and they serve warm meals for NOK 50. (Bus to Studentersamfundet)
* Trondheim Hostel [url=http://www.trondheimvandrerhjem.no/[/url]]is located on top of a hill, fairly close to the centre, Lademoen and the fortress. Clean, efficient and nice. (Bus 63 to Sigurd Bergs allé)
* Pensjonat Jarlen [url=http://www.jarlen.no/en/[/url]]is the most central offering, in Kongens gate near the main square. Slightly more expensive, but still good for Trondheim.
Hotels include:
* Singsaker Sommerhotell [http://sommerhotell.singsaker.no/[/url] is a lovely studenthome converted into a summer hotel while the students are home during the summer. It's located near to city center and the University. The standard is simple, but upgraded this year (summer 2008). The breakfast buffet is included. The hotel opens in the beginning of June and closes in the middle of August (this may vary). Be early to book if you want a room with bathroom, although the common bathrooms are really nice too.
Thon Hotel Trondheim [url=http://www.thonhotels.com/trondheim],]Kongens gate 15. You will find the hotel in the middle of the historic district in Trondheim, only 50 metres from the town square. The airport shuttle bus and most of the public transportation stops close to the hotel. Fixed low prices; 695/895 NOK single/double.
* Thon Hotel Gildevangen [http://www.thonhotels.com/gildevangen[/url], Søndre gate 22B. The hotel is ideally situated in the middle of Trondheim, a short 300 metres walk from both the train- and bus station. Airport shuttle stops right outside the hotel from the airport.
Hotell Britannia [http://www.britannia.no/] with its 1890's facade, and a matching but modern interior is the most stylish hotel in the city. Its location in Dronningens gate 5 is in the middle of town. It has two restaurants, a number of bars, and modern but stylish rooms. There are also a number of themed rooms, like rooms decorated by well-known Norwegian artists. Prices start at 1100/1300 and go a long way up.
* Radisson BLU Royal Garden Hotel is a modern palace of glass, brass and marble with 295 rooms. Centrally located, excellent communications, but a little soulless. Rooms start at 1198/1298 at summer weekends and go way up.
* Rica Nidelven hotel Havnegata 1. Is even more modern, and offers a very very good breakfast buffet.
* Clarion Hotel & Congress Trondheim is the most modern and newest hotel in Trondheim. It opened late April 2012, and has a beatiful view over the city from the Skybar in 9th floor. The Skybar is worth a visit, and you can go there to enjoy a cup of coffee without staying at the hotel.
Øysand is one of the best beaches close to Trondheim. Get the Orkanger-bound buses. You may also rent a car.
Hitching a ride out of Trondheim can be difficult. The best spots require a bus-ride at the start.
For south/south-westbound travel, the bus stop close to the Shell station at E6, just across the street from City Syd shopping mall, may be the best choice within city limits. Get bus 46 to City Syd and walk, or get the Orkanger-bound bus that stops right there.
If you want to make it clear whether you are going the E6 (towards [wiki=f4830432874f86d2e2a1a5f2dbebbc80]Oslo[/wiki]) or the E39 (towards [wiki=09346c14b310f8f03065d78fbfff351e]Molde[/wiki]/[wiki=e4ec5f3205b96e00d7f70c2c992aee97]Ålesund[/wiki]), you need to get the Orkanger-bound bus to Øysand (for E39) or the Støren-bound bus to Kvål (for E6). This may be sensible, as the traffic splits roughly in half at Klett, where the two main roads meet. If you are lucky, a bus driver would drive you to the best available hiking spot free of charge (especially if you are from abroad).
For north/eastbound travel, get bus 7 or 36 to Travbanen stop. Sadly, there are no good hitching spots beyond the start of the highway. To avoid short runs, it may be wise to get a bus or train to [wiki=e1c6d4bd5ba3c39f1a4162d70a2f242d]Stjørdal[/wiki] (close to the airport), then hitch on the E6 or E14 depending on where you want to go. In Stjørdal, there are good spots at both roads close to the station.
