American living in Trondheim here! Trondheim is most definitely up there for beautiful cities. I'd say Bergen and Tromsø are also very much places that other Americans really would enjoy.
Your name isn't very American. Trondheim sucks. The weather is trash and the city itself isn't anything special. Best choice I've ever made was leaving that dump of a city and moving to Oslo. Next step is getting out of Norway and never having to see another Norwegian again. Did we run into each other on the bus near Lerkendal stadion before?
@@thomasjefferson6225 your name is insanely American. As for your comment on Trondheim. That's just like, your opinion, man. Personally, I'm not a fan of Oslo. I came from a city much larger. (San Diego) folks in Oslo always have to be somewhere all the time. Trondheim peeps are chill. The weather is perfect for me. I came from what is effectively a dessert. Grew up there. I hate the sun, and love the rain. Plus the snow is great! Of course I came here for work, and family. (Mom is Norwegian, so her side is here.) But to each their own. It's all subjective anyway.
I grew up in Bergen and now live in Trondheim. BEST DECICION EVER. It got just enough size to not seem suffocating, but also small enough to keep that nice and cozy atmosphere. We would love to have you visit some time.
Fun fact: Trondheim is jokingly known as "Bartebyen", which means "Mustache City", since growing a mustache have been more popular in that region than elsewhere in Norway :) Btw, the best part about Trondheim, is actually the vibe of the city. It's hard (or maybe even impossible) to explain, but everytime I go there, I simply feel good. It's such a great place.
There is a real culture here, separate from the rest. The music from the 60's 70's and 80's is very identifiable. (I didn't live here then, by my husband did.) The mustache and leather vest thing is culturally iconic. My son got a tshirt from one of the summer camps he attended here and it had a stylised image of a man's face with cool glasses and a mustache and we laughed so hard because it looked EXACTLY like his father. He wore it one day and didn't say anything to bring attention to the shirt and just let his dad realise it on his own. I think it says something like 'Æ æ Trønder' or something.
I would say Norwegians know a lot of the big american cities. But we are just a small country, we dont expect people to know all about us here. :) nice video. I enjoy your positivity and curiosity in these videos. You get things pretty fast as well, like connections. This leads to this and this is because of that, from previous things you have learned! Keep going👍🏼
Trondheim, or it's old name Nidaros was the Norwegian capital untill the Danish kingdom annexed and made a "Union" between Denmark and Norway and then moved the Norwegian capital down to Oslo only so that it would be closer to Copenhagen in Denmark.
A few of my personal inclusions to this one: Trøndelag Folkemuseum at Sverresborg. Located at the top end of the Ilabekken trail mentioned in the video (you can also reach the place by bus, there is a bus stop literally right outside the main entrance) is an open air museum where old buildings have been preserved around the ruins of king Sverre's keep on top of the hill. This used to be the main land route in to the city, so the location was perfect for a keep that also overlooked the waterway leading in to the area. Here you can see the 900 y.o. Haltdalen stave church; Oppdalstunet, the 16th century estate that was copied by Disneyworld Florida for their Frost exibit; Norway's oldest running tavern and restaurant (just outside the museum area) from 1739; a couple of small town squares and streets, including the iconic 18th century Café Erichsen, and many other buildings, various exibits, guided tours and activities - it even has a concert arena. Bymarka is the preserved nature area west of the city. It covers the entire north-south length of the city, and is accessible by all means of transport available in Trondheim: on foot or bike (up-hill, mind you), by car, by buss, by tram, and if you are willing to walk a bit up-hill by train. There have even been suggested to build a cable car going up to one of the hilltops. I would suggest the tram, the one tram line remaining in the city starts downtown by the main public bus hub at Prinsenkrysset and ends by the Lian lake, bang smack in the middle of "nowhere", where a restaurant used to be open. The building is still there, and from here there are several marked trails to take into the woods, and to several viewing spots. When it comes to wildlife, there is deer and moose in the area, haven't heard any reports of large predators ;P And sheep, lots of sheep that some times come down in the summer to disturb traffic and eat from the rose bushes in the inhabited areas further down :P Ila, the neighbourhood west of the city center. You can get here on foot from the central town square in 10-15 minutes, and it has the same kind of small wooden houses as Bakklandet, mixed in with larger and more recent houses. It has a nice park with a playground for the kids, and further down towards the water you can get lost among the preserved houses on the narrow streets, and perhaps end up at the western starting point of Promenaden mentioned. Between Ila and the city center is Skansen, the narrow bit of land between the fjord and a river bend, where you can see the old city walls, you see a nice little marina to one side and... an interesting train bridge leading over to Brattøra and the train station to the other side. Brattøra is a piece of reclaimed land, creating a canal at the north end of the city, by the rivermouth. Here you find the train station, the preserved canal pier, and a fascinating mix of old and new. There is an inside water park here (pricy af!), and you can have your beverage of choice or a meal overlooking the pier at one of the restaurants here ranging from the very rustic (done somewhat modern - if that makes sense) to ultra modern pretty much on the roof of the train station. At the pier you see old wooden boats, cayakers, and in the summer time you can catch an intimate concert by surprisingly good artists. Credo and Palmehaven restaurants. If you're into fine dining, these are the two (afaik) Michelin star restaurants in the city. Credo is located at Lade east of the city center, and Palmehaven is located at Britannia Hotel in the middle of the city center. You would probably need to book a good while in advance, but the prices are surprisingly (well, depending what your expectations are...) low, and you can even get a decent lunch meal at Palmehaven. Trondheim Torg (or rather 'Torvet') is the heart of the city. The town square was just recently renovated, and in the middle of it is the statue of the founder of the city, the viking king Olav I (city was founded in CE997, as Kaupangr í Þróndheimi - 'the merchant place in Trondheim', Trondheim used to be the name of the entire region we now call Trøndelag). He is overlooking Munkhomen to the north from his 18m tall collumn, with the Nidaros cathedral at his back. Around the town square you'll find several restaurants and cafés, a shopping center, and even a couple of familiar "restaurants" in McDonalds and Burger King :P
Tromsø is called "Paris of the North", also Ålesund is famous for its jugend style. In Bergen you have "Bryggene i Bergen", so some of our cities have their own marks of "fame".
Thanks for the video. So fun to see again a little bit of Trondheim and Nidaros Cathedral that I once sang in. It is absolutely magical to enter that church and feel the history. I will give you one more tip. Take a look at Kristansand town, because they are known for their beautiful beaches and charming houses.
Kristiansand are really nice. My sister lives there. She lives in one of those charming houses and she says that turists often look through her window becouse they think it’s a museum 😝
Yeahh I live in Bergen, the second largest city and the most intimate and beautiful city of Norway, my opinion. But I love being in Trondheim myself, it is indeed a beautiful city up in the north. The majestic NTNU University reminds me of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter Films. And yes the beautiful Nidarosdomen Cathedral is breathtaking and reminds me of NotreDame in Paris only smaller. And I also love Oslo. The capital city. So Tyler, start to pack your bag and give Norway a visit. Wherever you go, you will be amazed with the scenic and unspoiled natural beauty of Norway. Velkommen til Norge🙏💖🌸🌸🌸🍃
There are some parts of Oslo that I dont find to be very pretty. But nature-wise its usually good. Most of the time I find the houses try to keep to with traditional styles, so they are new but not looking to out of place. You always seem 110% interested any time food is involved, its so funny!
Trondheim are the nicest city in Norway. It’s where I grew up. It will always have a special place in my heart🥰 I don’t live there anymore tho. But my dad and stepmother lives there so I visit it quite often.
Not only was Nidarosdomen burned down many times, it supposedly nearly got blown up when the bass player of the black metal band Mayhem got arrested with 100 kg of explosives. He had already burned down 3 other churches and killed a band member at the time of his arrest.
I live in Bakklandet, the part of Trondheim that was mentioned first in the video. And I have a nice view of Nidarosdomen from my balcony. It's a great city, and would of course recommend a visit if you're coming to Norway. Lot's of old history as it is Norways second oldest city. And if you're into hiking and nature there's lots of possibilities just outside the city, many places where you can get a great view over the city. Trondheim also have a descent nightlife, and many great restaurants including several with Michelin stars. There's something for everybody.
okay just to be clear... a house costs around 3,5 mln (+) krones, "bakken" means "hill", a stream of water - foss. You were right, its a radio station tower, but im not sure if its in use, however there is a NRK (Norwegian tv) building near by. The floor is rotating not a part of the building :)
Tyholttårnet is indeed a radio/telecommunications tower, and that is it's main purpose. I see a lot of tourists take the tram from the city to Lian, where there is a lake and a restaurant. It's also a good place to enter the wilderness and there are many paths to follow through the woods.
Learning about the geography, history and politics of other countries is a very distinct part of the curriculum in Norwegian schools. When my son was 10 or 11 he had memorized all countries and capitals in Europe as well as most major cities and most states in the US. But, he has a better head than me, as I can’t remember all of them even if I did learn at some point as well. But, I do know most of the key cities and most of the states in the US. I’ve also learned much of the history of the US from the time of colonization until now, as well as some pre colonization history, including general knowledge about native Americans and Viking settlements.
2:57 Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Alvdalsnes and Sabsborg have all been capitals of Norway at various points in time. On top of that there's a former capital that's now inside Sweden and the capital of Denmark also was capital of Norway for some time.
I was grew up and live right outside of the city, and now work in it, I am so used to the actual city I usually never see the beauty of it, lovelly video from both you and the guide
Hey there thanks for your great reactions. Here is a video suggestion: 'American Reacts to America Compared: Why Other Countries Treat Their People So Much Better' I really would like to hear your opinion on these topics. Norway also gets mentioned a few times. Have a great day
My kiddo is studying at NTNU and he came home with a nugget of information he found hilarious, being a bilingual kid. 'Mom, did you know that NTNU has an English name as well? They call it Norwegian University of Technology and Science. 'NUTS' is written on posters all over the campus!' He laughed so hard.
Bakklandet was the old workers area, the houses are old, but now well maintained and restored. You will see they are quite small and "simple" in architecture, but now with a definite charm. Also - it is in the centre of the city - everything within walking distance.
Hi Tyler I really love your reaction videos about Norway, for your information a lot of Norwegian had migrated in the US many years ago... Norwegian immigrants went to the United States primarily in the latter half of the 19th century and the first few decades of the 20th century. There are more than 4.5 million Norwegian Americans, according to the most recent U.S. census,; most live in the Upper Midwest and on the West Coast of the United States. so for sure you don't have anyyyyyy idea either 😀😁 Maybe that would b your next video reaction.
Trondheim is great for many reasons. It's big, but not too big. Although by american standards it would probably look tiny. It doesn't feel like a big city, but that is one of the many things I like about it. It is very peaceful too. It has just this good vibe. The buildings are different from each other and it's kind of fun to see. So many of them have details you don't first see, even after being from there you still can see something you didn't notice before. Another big thing about Trondheim is it's rich history, which shouldn't be all that surprising since it's over 1000 years old. It's also founded by a real viking (Olav Tryggvason, not the same as saint Olav. It's easy to mix the two) , like one that actually was a viking and not just someone who lived in the age. He...wasn't a good person, which shouldn't come as a shock. But regardless, for viking history fans, it's definetly the city of history. Not just from the viking age either. The video didn't mention the cannons built on Monkholmen (that island) from ww2 when Norway was occupied. The island really has been through a lot XD. Too bad they didn't mention the multiple museums or the city sentrum where there is a tall statue of Olav Tryggvason, this statue is tall because it is also used as a sun clock (idk the proper name). Which is pretty cool. They only talked about the main city, if you went out further you'd also find many other interesting places, like Sverresborg or Granåsen. I'm a little dissapointed that they showed some places that weren't as interesting as others they could've mentioned. I'm surprised they didn't mention the city sentrum, because it deserves a mention. But either way I'm happy to see Trondheim finally getting some attention. It's a lovely city with a nice mood and so many interesting things. I love it so very much.
0:38 It's the third/fourth largest. It depends on how you define things and how much land around it you include as a part of the city. Trondheim and Stavanger really are neck in neck enough for such nuances to matter.
He didn't mention that Munkholmen has also been a political prison during the years of royal rule by divine right (1660-1814) for persons the king in Copenhagen disliked. Not mentioned is a building next door to the cathedral, the Archbishopric (Erkebiskop-gården) which is one of the oldest buildings in Norway not a church. Little of the house decoration there is original, much from later ages and more modern fine arts though, but the architecture is an affair in itself to behold. It was built in the late 14th century after all!
3:14 for some weird reason I vividly remember walking down that street while listening to His Dark Materials audiobook during the winter/Christmas time.. I used to listen to dubstep, play FPS, ADHD type of guy, but still that place would make me just find a bench and sit down. I'd sit for hours, drinking cocoa and watching the Norwegian equivalent of Diagon Alley, happy families shopping in the honest to God WHITE snow (non of the grey exhaust shitty snow. You aren't allowed to drive around this area for a pretty wide radius.), while listening to an epic tale about a girl riding polar-bears to save her friend. I miss Trondheim.. Allot.. I'll probably move back there some day.. :)
possibly olanning a trip to Trondheim next year to see my fiance, who is Norwegian (getting the money saved up for not only the wedding, but to move to the US is going to take a while) & this video was super helpful. Lot of beautiful places here I would love to see!
Trondheim is the location of the university for engineering and technology. There is a cluster of high tech companies connected to the umoversity making Trondheim Norway"s equivalent to Silicon Valley. Students from all over the world are invited to Trondheom fpr frreebM Master programmes in English covering diferrent engineering subjects.
Trondheim is definitely not anything close to being a Silicon Valley. There are a few great tech companies started by students from NTNU during the years, but you can count them on less than one hand. Great tech companies are making huge profits year after year, which is something Trondheim is still missing, even though the engineering programs at NTNU are solid. Most students that start companies during their time at NTNU quit the entrepreneurship journey after a few months/years, instead of pivoting. Lack of entrepreneurial persistance is common.
I'm pretty sure some of those houses in Bakklanded are like, sanctioned? Is that the word? Like you can't change them. The people that live in them have to keep the same outer windows, but sometimes install new modern windows on the inside, or merge them together or something.. But it has to look the same from the outside. They can also only use the original paint colors afaik.
If you want to live a good student life in Norway, Trondheim is probably the best. It is Norways student capital. One third of all the people living there most of the year is students, and there is so much for a student to do, see, and be part of.
I feel this has to be said: "If you ever come to Trondheim, don't waste your time eating in Tyholttårnet, as the food is below mediocre but highly overpriced." I'll also like to add, that those statues on the west front of that cathedral, are all depictions of different people. If you are into hiking, I also think it's worth mentioning "Bymarka", which is a huge woodland + mountain area, that surrounds the city. It's about a 15 minute walk from the city center and gives you hours and hours of hiking and you can easily reach one of the tallest peaks, Gråkallen(where there's also an old military installation) in a few hours.
When I was a demonstration guest-artisan at Olavsfest one year, I made a guide to who the statues depicted to give out to visitors. They are all characters from the bible and Saints that are important in the region.
@@hepphepps8356 You're referring to the Archangel, Michael with 'Dylans' face. There are several statues that have borrowed from known faces. The stonework is under constant repair and reconstruction. When the Michael statue was re-done, the sculptor based his facial features on Dylan because of his stance on the Vietnam war.
It's funny you say you've never seen Trondheim before, since several of the previous videos you've reacted to (Simple Norwegian) is from Trondheim (but of course, that's not very obvious for a non-Norwegian). 😉
kinda strange video, he mentioned places that i have never heard of my self, and i am norwegian, places that i wouldnt think of going to as a turist. And the most strange thing is that he didnt mention some of the most popular places in trondheim, Like Granåsen Skijump Hill area, Lerkendal Soccer Stadium(the homeground to soccer club 'Rosenborg BK'), Trondheim torg, just to mention a few places. trondheim is a beautiful city but it is not the best city for tourists id say, when i think of trondheim i think of students, rock music and sports. But the city of 'Lillehammer' on the other hand, that is a great city for tourists, alot of stuf that u can do in the area, u can stay there for days without getting bored, so u need to check out 'Lillehammer' and the surrounding area . :)
You need to react to Stavanger. Trondheim is technically 4th largest. Stavanger urban area have 220k inhabitants. Its two cities that have grown together. Stavanger and Sandnes, but they are basically the same. Stavanger is the most expensive on average City to live in.
You forgot to mention that the urban area is two cities, so you are «technically» wrong.. Trondheim has 210000 inh. by its own, and the met. area more than 300000.
@@frodehagen8690 You should read again. Also Trondheim has 187k urban. And 280k in metro with a density of 38 pr km2. Not "more" then 300000. And Stavanger have 320k in metro. With 120 pr km2. So what do you wanna do? Keyboard war? The metro area of Trondheim is over 7k km2. And Stavanger metro area is 2500km2. So just stop.
@@ImperialMJG I know you think you are right, bless your soul.. But it doesen’t work tat way. I know Stavanger. Nice city with a small town feel to it. Nice, but narrow streets and small wooden houses. Not wide avenue-like streets like in Trondheim. But we have an old town as well of course. And 42000 unregistered students. But I understand your concern about beeing the 4th. largest city, and I hope you can live with that. Happy days :-)
12:59 There's some nice areas in Trondheim that you can enjoy in the summer, but honestly most of the city isn't really that good looking, especially not in winter. Too much has been lost to fires and destroyed to build new things up through the years... :-/ Still, there's preserved areas well worth visiting. Just don't expect beauty through a whole university term. That said, about 1/8th of the population of Trondheim is students so there's actually a fair bit going on there for students to do if you choose to study here.
Don´t feel bad, not everything in Norway is beautiful. Oslo has some really uncomfortable places without adding that few gangs have had fights with each other there with knives. Though in general, I find Norway pretty, or at least okay, and the nature is beautiful. The many nice or okay places outweigh the few bad areas though. And the cities really try and intricate nature into the cities and provide places to be and enjoy. Tyler should definitively visit the Nidaros Cathedral if he gets the chance. It's beautiful on the inside and I remember that it just smelt, old.
If you speak to a Norgwegian, there are three or four things Trondheim is really known for. >Being a university city, Nidarosdomen Cathedral, its' historical significance, and Nidar chocolate factory. Great place to visit, although all the mention of "enjoying the sun" in the video you watched is a bit misleading. You'll get gray days most of the year.
If you like to see more beauty of Norway, try go south east to Fredrikstand and from there Hvaler, me and my wife had our wedding in Fredrikstad we usually live in Halden, the most suthern city of Norway before border to sweden and this is also where most people go to shop that lives in Ostfold/Viken area and also Oslo Drammen area go for shopping there, but that si Sweden though called Svinesund, and the closest city to that is Stromstad. But if you want to look at not any big city but it has been premiered as south of Norways most beautiful costal city Fredrikstad then you should check it out, it really is a beauty, it is at the end of Norways longest river Glomma that strech all the way to Norways biggest lake Mjosa or in our tung Mjøsa. Glomma streches 621km from Fredrikstad. Mjøsa is 365squarekilometers big and the cities that lies round it is Hamar, gjøvik and Lillehammer, also pearls of cities to visit, I am not boasting though just trying to give you some hints of where to look, because there is a ton of hidden gems here in Norway to check out, there are places here that even I do not know exist, yes the fjords are majestic but so known for tourists, but said that there are other places here that equal beauties. Me for my part that are a Norwegian, I will be going to the Philippines in my retirement I found that country to be exiting as you have found Norway to be an exiting place. Me im sick and tired of cold and wet for 7 month of the year so yeah.
When I first moved here, I lived in Bakklandet. The house was totally dilapidated and the inside of the windows would freeze with frost. We had to leave the water dripping a bit in the shower so the line didn't freeze. It was a shithole. The houses in Bakklandet are very old. Most of them are nicely renovated, but not the one I lived it.
More import, if you pause at 6:02 and look at the other side of the fjord, there you have Vanvikan. And, it's connected with boat and ferries, and it's like living super close to the city center, yet on the country side. If you ever come to Norway, this is where I would want to live :D Because I do. :p
I know the name of every state of the US, and many of the cities 😉🫣 You should check out Bergen as well, it has also been the capital of Norway, and is the second largest city in Norway with a population of about 272 000👍😊 And the buildings in Bakklandet, which you didn’t think were that old were actually built in the 18th century 👍
u should check out the kings speech, i think i saw a request for this a couple of vids back but dam, theres a lot that i ( a norwegian) didnt even really know were in trondheim lmao
If you want to see more of the inside i can recomend a clip from an old NRK (norwegian television) christmas consert with a norse artist called Aurora. AURORA - Live in Nidarosdomen [Full concert] ua-cam.com/video/XXVwFvkNTEg/v-deo.html
The cathedral has survived a number of wars (I think). I think its why it has been burnt down a couple of times and then restored :) Keep up with ur videos! Really good quality. It is interesting to see an american reactting to videos about Norway :)
There was an early civil war in Trondheim (in the 1200's) and then Protestant Reformation (1536) where I think the cathedral was burned the first two times. The history here is quite amazing. It was never burned during WW2, but Trondheim still shows signs of Nazi occupation. I'm reminded every day because many of the structures still stand.
@@Dejawolfs didn't the Protestants burn the place around 1536? The Bishops buildings (the surrounding buildings of the courtyard) burned down recently in the 1980s or 90's i think. They found so much archeology underneath it was amazing. I've been to the museum there once or twice. There is a whole run dien in the museum of how it was built in stages and the times it was burned. When I first moved here 20 years ago, my friend showed me the graffiti dug into the side wall of the cathedral. Hundreds of years old.
@@TheAccidentalViking i have no information on why the church burned in 1531. all i know is that the damage was extensive, and due to the reformation, there was no longer enough money to rebuild it. as such the front ship was not rebuilt. there was repairs to the eastern part of the church, but the westfront was convered into a churchyard. i know lightning struck the spire in 1687, a massive storm blew down the spire in 1689, and there was a massive fire in 1708.
@@Dejawolfs It's a beautiful Cathedral and if you ever get the chance to visit it, do. They've recently refurbished the old pipe organ and reinstalled at great expense. During Olavsfest, the people who keep the Cathedral maintained and preserved do tours and give chats about their work and have demonstrations. I've been lucky enough to participate in their artisan demonstrations, dressed in traditional garb in the Archbishop courtyard. One talk they gave explained how they've been working to replace the crumbling cement work with traditional lime mortar. They even went into an in depth explanation of the composition of lime mortar and why it's better than cement.
I'm from Trondheim. :D I wish the video showed more. And more in debt history. But is was good what was shown anyway. Trondheim is a good place to go to if you come here. A lot of flights goes to many places. The city is pretty, more so than Oslo these days in I've heard many say. I do know a lot of geography but knowing all the american citys. naah . Not very interesting. Lets see what I remember right now. Portland, Boise, sand fransico, la. Sandiego, flagstaff, las vegas,oklohoma city st.lois, detroit, chicago, Boston, new york, nashville, seattle, charleston, dallas, knoxville,Phoenix, and a few more. :) A fun fact. When I cant sleep I start sayiing(thinking) the names of the us states. Thats called beeing a weirdo right. 😅
Hah. Just know. Norway looks good, but we have our fair share of rain, fog and cloudy grey days. Street full are just slushy and icy.. Oslo is typically like that all winter, if it isn't cold enough
You seem like a nice guy. I'm curious what piqued your interest in #Norway. And yes, you should definitely seek out info on the shittier aspects of #Norge. Just because it appears all shiny on the surface, doesn't mean it's solid gold. Best regards, US expatriate in the land of King Harald.
In London we used to have a rotating restaurant at the top of the Post Office Tower, but it was shut to the public because of the threat of IRA terrorism.
Trondheim is the place where the Vikings made the church, in the rain. In the south, the sun always shine. And the man who was the first white man to put his feet on Americas soil was made to leave from Trondheim, well, because he killed a few people. It was the Viking times..
American living in Trondheim here! Trondheim is most definitely up there for beautiful cities. I'd say Bergen and Tromsø are also very much places that other Americans really would enjoy.
Are u an exchange student at NTNU or?
@@bendikakre9800 nope. I'm a working father of 2. Hehe I'm a couple decades finished with Uni.
Your name isn't very American. Trondheim sucks. The weather is trash and the city itself isn't anything special. Best choice I've ever made was leaving that dump of a city and moving to Oslo.
Next step is getting out of Norway and never having to see another Norwegian again.
Did we run into each other on the bus near Lerkendal stadion before?
@@thomasjefferson6225 your name is insanely American.
As for your comment on Trondheim. That's just like, your opinion, man.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Oslo. I came from a city much larger. (San Diego) folks in Oslo always have to be somewhere all the time. Trondheim peeps are chill.
The weather is perfect for me. I came from what is effectively a dessert. Grew up there. I hate the sun, and love the rain. Plus the snow is great!
Of course I came here for work, and family. (Mom is Norwegian, so her side is here.) But to each their own. It's all subjective anyway.

I grew up in Bergen and now live in Trondheim. BEST DECICION EVER. It got just enough size to not seem suffocating, but also small enough to keep that nice and cozy atmosphere. We would love to have you visit some time.
Im from Trondheim but born in Odda and my mom and grandparents from Bergen 🎉😂❤
Fun fact:
Trondheim is jokingly known as "Bartebyen", which means "Mustache City", since growing a mustache have been more popular in that region than elsewhere in Norway :)
Btw, the best part about Trondheim, is actually the vibe of the city. It's hard (or maybe even impossible) to explain, but everytime I go there, I simply feel good. It's such a great place.
There is a real culture here, separate from the rest. The music from the 60's 70's and 80's is very identifiable. (I didn't live here then, by my husband did.) The mustache and leather vest thing is culturally iconic. My son got a tshirt from one of the summer camps he attended here and it had a stylised image of a man's face with cool glasses and a mustache and we laughed so hard because it looked EXACTLY like his father. He wore it one day and didn't say anything to bring attention to the shirt and just let his dad realise it on his own. I think it says something like 'Æ æ Trønder' or something.
I have a whole lot of negative memories and experiences from that place.
@@thomasjefferson6225Did you fail to grow a moustache?
@@Koreviking haha. I know what you mean by that. Actually I'm rocking one right now
I would say Norwegians know a lot of the big american cities. But we are just a small country, we dont expect people to know all about us here. :) nice video. I enjoy your positivity and curiosity in these videos. You get things pretty fast as well, like connections. This leads to this and this is because of that, from previous things you have learned! Keep going👍🏼
Trondheim, or it's old name Nidaros was the Norwegian capital untill the Danish kingdom annexed and made a "Union" between Denmark and Norway and then moved the Norwegian capital down to Oslo only so that it would be closer to Copenhagen in Denmark.
A few of my personal inclusions to this one:
Trøndelag Folkemuseum at Sverresborg. Located at the top end of the Ilabekken trail mentioned in the video (you can also reach the place by bus, there is a bus stop literally right outside the main entrance) is an open air museum where old buildings have been preserved around the ruins of king Sverre's keep on top of the hill. This used to be the main land route in to the city, so the location was perfect for a keep that also overlooked the waterway leading in to the area. Here you can see the 900 y.o. Haltdalen stave church; Oppdalstunet, the 16th century estate that was copied by Disneyworld Florida for their Frost exibit; Norway's oldest running tavern and restaurant (just outside the museum area) from 1739; a couple of small town squares and streets, including the iconic 18th century Café Erichsen, and many other buildings, various exibits, guided tours and activities - it even has a concert arena.
Bymarka is the preserved nature area west of the city. It covers the entire north-south length of the city, and is accessible by all means of transport available in Trondheim: on foot or bike (up-hill, mind you), by car, by buss, by tram, and if you are willing to walk a bit up-hill by train. There have even been suggested to build a cable car going up to one of the hilltops. I would suggest the tram, the one tram line remaining in the city starts downtown by the main public bus hub at Prinsenkrysset and ends by the Lian lake, bang smack in the middle of "nowhere", where a restaurant used to be open. The building is still there, and from here there are several marked trails to take into the woods, and to several viewing spots. When it comes to wildlife, there is deer and moose in the area, haven't heard any reports of large predators ;P And sheep, lots of sheep that some times come down in the summer to disturb traffic and eat from the rose bushes in the inhabited areas further down :P
Ila, the neighbourhood west of the city center. You can get here on foot from the central town square in 10-15 minutes, and it has the same kind of small wooden houses as Bakklandet, mixed in with larger and more recent houses. It has a nice park with a playground for the kids, and further down towards the water you can get lost among the preserved houses on the narrow streets, and perhaps end up at the western starting point of Promenaden mentioned. Between Ila and the city center is Skansen, the narrow bit of land between the fjord and a river bend, where you can see the old city walls, you see a nice little marina to one side and... an interesting train bridge leading over to Brattøra and the train station to the other side.
Brattøra is a piece of reclaimed land, creating a canal at the north end of the city, by the rivermouth. Here you find the train station, the preserved canal pier, and a fascinating mix of old and new. There is an inside water park here (pricy af!), and you can have your beverage of choice or a meal overlooking the pier at one of the restaurants here ranging from the very rustic (done somewhat modern - if that makes sense) to ultra modern pretty much on the roof of the train station. At the pier you see old wooden boats, cayakers, and in the summer time you can catch an intimate concert by surprisingly good artists.
Credo and Palmehaven restaurants. If you're into fine dining, these are the two (afaik) Michelin star restaurants in the city. Credo is located at Lade east of the city center, and Palmehaven is located at Britannia Hotel in the middle of the city center. You would probably need to book a good while in advance, but the prices are surprisingly (well, depending what your expectations are...) low, and you can even get a decent lunch meal at Palmehaven.
Trondheim Torg (or rather 'Torvet') is the heart of the city. The town square was just recently renovated, and in the middle of it is the statue of the founder of the city, the viking king Olav I (city was founded in CE997, as Kaupangr í Þróndheimi - 'the merchant place in Trondheim', Trondheim used to be the name of the entire region we now call Trøndelag). He is overlooking Munkhomen to the north from his 18m tall collumn, with the Nidaros cathedral at his back. Around the town square you'll find several restaurants and cafés, a shopping center, and even a couple of familiar "restaurants" in McDonalds and Burger King :P
Great reaction video. I strongly recommend you react to:
How Norway KILLED the Petrol Car. I am sure you will enjoy it. 😉
Tromsø is called "Paris of the North", also Ålesund is famous for its jugend style. In Bergen you have "Bryggene i Bergen", so some of our cities have their own marks of "fame".
Thanks for the video. So fun to see again a little bit of Trondheim and Nidaros Cathedral that I once sang in. It is absolutely magical to enter that church and feel the history. I will give you one more tip. Take a look at Kristansand town, because they are known for their beautiful beaches and charming houses.
Kristiansand are really nice. My sister lives there. She lives in one of those charming houses and she says that turists often look through her window becouse they think it’s a museum 😝
And if Tyler is into music, he really should check AURORA's concert in Nidarosdomen!
Yeahh I live in Bergen, the second largest city and the most intimate and beautiful city of Norway, my opinion. But I love being in Trondheim myself, it is indeed a beautiful city up in the north. The majestic NTNU University reminds me of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter Films. And yes the beautiful Nidarosdomen Cathedral is breathtaking and reminds me of NotreDame in Paris only smaller. And I also love Oslo. The capital city. So Tyler, start to pack your bag and give Norway a visit. Wherever you go, you will be amazed with the scenic and unspoiled natural beauty of Norway. Velkommen til Norge🙏💖🌸🌸🌸🍃
There are some parts of Oslo that I dont find to be very pretty. But nature-wise its usually good. Most of the time I find the houses try to keep to with traditional styles, so they are new but not looking to out of place. You always seem 110% interested any time food is involved, its so funny!
Trondheim are the nicest city in Norway. It’s where I grew up. It will always have a special place in my heart🥰 I don’t live there anymore tho. But my dad and stepmother lives there so I visit it quite often.
Helt enig med deg.🥰
I was very very happy to leave Trondheim.
I'll be even happier to leave Norway.
Not only was Nidarosdomen burned down many times, it supposedly nearly got blown up when the bass player of the black metal band Mayhem got arrested with 100 kg of explosives.
He had already burned down 3 other churches and killed a band member at the time of his arrest.
I live in Bakklandet, the part of Trondheim that was mentioned first in the video. And I have a nice view of Nidarosdomen from my balcony. It's a great city, and would of course recommend a visit if you're coming to Norway. Lot's of old history as it is Norways second oldest city. And if you're into hiking and nature there's lots of possibilities just outside the city, many places where you can get a great view over the city. Trondheim also have a descent nightlife, and many great restaurants including several with Michelin stars. There's something for everybody.
Thank you for reacting to my video 🤙
Thank you for creating the video, it is very well made and helpful
okay just to be clear... a house costs around 3,5 mln (+) krones, "bakken" means "hill", a stream of water - foss. You were right, its a radio station tower, but im not sure if its in use, however there is a NRK (Norwegian tv) building near by. The floor is rotating not a part of the building :)
Tyholttårnet is indeed a radio/telecommunications tower, and that is it's main purpose.
I see a lot of tourists take the tram from the city to Lian, where there is a lake and a restaurant. It's also a good place to enter the wilderness and there are many paths to follow through the woods.
Since you're on this roll, may I suggest one of the arctic cities as well. Like Tromsø, it's pretty gorgeous.
Learning about the geography, history and politics of other countries is a very distinct part of the curriculum in Norwegian schools. When my son was 10 or 11 he had memorized all countries and capitals in Europe as well as most major cities and most states in the US. But, he has a better head than me, as I can’t remember all of them even if I did learn at some point as well. But, I do know most of the key cities and most of the states in the US. I’ve also learned much of the history of the US from the time of colonization until now, as well as some pre colonization history, including general knowledge about native Americans and Viking settlements.
2:57
Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Alvdalsnes and Sabsborg have all been capitals of Norway at various points in time.
On top of that there's a former capital that's now inside Sweden and the capital of Denmark also was capital of Norway for some time.
To bad he didn’t go inside the Nidarosdomen cathedral, it is amazing!
He could react to Aurora’s concert in Nidarosdomen 👍😍
I was grew up and live right outside of the city, and now work in it, I am so used to the actual city I usually never see the beauty of it, lovelly video from both you and the guide
Nidaros, or Trondheim was the head of the catholic church in Europe next to the Vatican between 1152 and 1537. The church is from that time
Hey there thanks for your great reactions. Here is a video suggestion: 'American Reacts to America Compared: Why Other Countries Treat Their People So Much Better'
I really would like to hear your opinion on these topics. Norway also gets mentioned a few times. Have a great day
My kiddo is studying at NTNU and he came home with a nugget of information he found hilarious, being a bilingual kid. 'Mom, did you know that NTNU has an English name as well? They call it Norwegian University of Technology and Science. 'NUTS' is written on posters all over the campus!' He laughed so hard.
I have been living in Oslo and Bergen, but this video really got me inspired to visit Trondheim -at least for a prolonged weekend =)
my birthplace ^^ awesome historic city ! from Viking times and in sporting way, also kinda known from WWII times
So nice to see you reacting to the city I live in🥰 I of course think it’s the best city in Norway👍🏼😊
Trondheim is my home town!.:D best city in Norway, also rich with Viking history
Bakklandet was the old workers area, the houses are old, but now well maintained and restored. You will see they are quite small and "simple" in architecture, but now with a definite charm. Also - it is in the centre of the city - everything within walking distance.
Hi Tyler I really love your reaction videos about Norway, for your information a lot of Norwegian had migrated in the US many years ago...
Norwegian immigrants went to the United States primarily in the latter half of the 19th century and the first few decades of the 20th century. There are more than 4.5 million Norwegian Americans, according to the most recent U.S. census,; most live in the Upper Midwest and on the West Coast of the United States.
so for sure you don't have anyyyyyy idea either 😀😁
Maybe that would b your next video reaction.
Trondheim is great for many reasons. It's big, but not too big. Although by american standards it would probably look tiny. It doesn't feel like a big city, but that is one of the many things I like about it. It is very peaceful too. It has just this good vibe. The buildings are different from each other and it's kind of fun to see. So many of them have details you don't first see, even after being from there you still can see something you didn't notice before. Another big thing about Trondheim is it's rich history, which shouldn't be all that surprising since it's over 1000 years old. It's also founded by a real viking (Olav Tryggvason, not the same as saint Olav. It's easy to mix the two) , like one that actually was a viking and not just someone who lived in the age. He...wasn't a good person, which shouldn't come as a shock. But regardless, for viking history fans, it's definetly the city of history. Not just from the viking age either. The video didn't mention the cannons built on Monkholmen (that island) from ww2 when Norway was occupied. The island really has been through a lot XD.
Too bad they didn't mention the multiple museums or the city sentrum where there is a tall statue of Olav Tryggvason, this statue is tall because it is also used as a sun clock (idk the proper name). Which is pretty cool.
They only talked about the main city, if you went out further you'd also find many other interesting places, like Sverresborg or Granåsen.
I'm a little dissapointed that they showed some places that weren't as interesting as others they could've mentioned. I'm surprised they didn't mention the city sentrum, because it deserves a mention.
But either way I'm happy to see Trondheim finally getting some attention. It's a lovely city with a nice mood and so many interesting things. I love it so very much.
0:38
It's the third/fourth largest.
It depends on how you define things and how much land around it you include as a part of the city.
Trondheim and Stavanger really are neck in neck enough for such nuances to matter.
He didn't mention that Munkholmen has also been a political prison during the years of royal rule by divine right (1660-1814) for persons the king in Copenhagen disliked.
Not mentioned is a building next door to the cathedral, the Archbishopric (Erkebiskop-gården) which is one of the oldest buildings in Norway not a church. Little of the house decoration there is original, much from later ages and more modern fine arts though, but the architecture is an affair in itself to behold. It was built in the late 14th century after all!
6:40
It's the local headquarters of NRK, the TV channel I believe.
So "radio tower" isn't too far off.
3:14 for some weird reason I vividly remember walking down that street while listening to His Dark Materials audiobook during the winter/Christmas time.. I used to listen to dubstep, play FPS, ADHD type of guy, but still that place would make me just find a bench and sit down. I'd sit for hours, drinking cocoa and watching the Norwegian equivalent of Diagon Alley, happy families shopping in the honest to God WHITE snow (non of the grey exhaust shitty snow. You aren't allowed to drive around this area for a pretty wide radius.), while listening to an epic tale about a girl riding polar-bears to save her friend.
I miss Trondheim.. Allot.. I'll probably move back there some day.. :)
possibly olanning a trip to Trondheim next year to see my fiance, who is Norwegian (getting the money saved up for not only the wedding, but to move to the US is going to take a while) & this video was super helpful. Lot of beautiful places here I would love to see!
Been binging your videos, and i just love them. Keep thinking u know more about Norway than i do eventually.😅😍
Trondheim is the location of the university for engineering and technology. There is a cluster of high tech companies connected to the umoversity making Trondheim Norway"s equivalent to Silicon Valley. Students from all over the world are invited to Trondheom fpr frreebM Master programmes in English covering diferrent engineering subjects.
Trondheim is definitely not anything close to being a Silicon Valley. There are a few great tech companies started by students from NTNU during the years, but you can count them on less than one hand. Great tech companies are making huge profits year after year, which is something Trondheim is still missing, even though the engineering programs at NTNU are solid. Most students that start companies during their time at NTNU quit the entrepreneurship journey after a few months/years, instead of pivoting. Lack of entrepreneurial persistance is common.
I'm pretty sure some of those houses in Bakklanded are like, sanctioned? Is that the word? Like you can't change them. The people that live in them have to keep the same outer windows, but sometimes install new modern windows on the inside, or merge them together or something.. But it has to look the same from the outside. They can also only use the original paint colors afaik.
❤ your videos of my beloved country ❣️😊
Thanks Ingrid
@@TylerWalkerUA-cam You are sooo welcome ! Keep up the great work ! 😊💖
If you want to live a good student life in Norway, Trondheim is probably the best. It is Norways student capital. One third of all the people living there most of the year is students, and there is so much for a student to do, see, and be part of.
I feel this has to be said: "If you ever come to Trondheim, don't waste your time eating in Tyholttårnet, as the food is below mediocre but highly overpriced."
I'll also like to add, that those statues on the west front of that cathedral, are all depictions of different people. If you are into hiking, I also think it's worth mentioning "Bymarka", which is a huge woodland + mountain area, that surrounds the city. It's about a 15 minute walk from the city center and gives you hours and hours of hiking and you can easily reach one of the tallest peaks, Gråkallen(where there's also an old military installation) in a few hours.
When I was a demonstration guest-artisan at Olavsfest one year, I made a guide to who the statues depicted to give out to visitors. They are all characters from the bible and Saints that are important in the region.
@@TheAccidentalVikinga bit more than that. Bob Dylan is up there for some reason:-)
@@hepphepps8356 You're referring to the Archangel, Michael with 'Dylans' face. There are several statues that have borrowed from known faces. The stonework is under constant repair and reconstruction. When the Michael statue was re-done, the sculptor based his facial features on Dylan because of his stance on the Vietnam war.
It's funny you say you've never seen Trondheim before, since several of the previous videos you've reacted to (Simple Norwegian) is from Trondheim (but of course, that's not very obvious for a non-Norwegian). 😉
kinda strange video, he mentioned places that i have never heard of my self, and i am norwegian, places that i wouldnt think of going to as a turist. And the most strange thing is that he didnt mention some of the most popular places in trondheim, Like Granåsen Skijump Hill area, Lerkendal Soccer Stadium(the homeground to soccer club 'Rosenborg BK'), Trondheim torg, just to mention a few places. trondheim is a beautiful city but it is not the best city for tourists id say, when i think of trondheim i think of students, rock music and sports. But the city of 'Lillehammer' on the other hand, that is a great city for tourists, alot of stuf that u can do in the area, u can stay there for days without getting bored, so u need to check out 'Lillehammer' and the surrounding area . :)
Good catch. It is a radio tower. A broadcast tower to be exact.
11:23 "it resembles Notre Dame in France" .. except it should be opposite because Nidarosdomen is older than Notre Dame.
Old houses in Norway are refurbished so often, too keep their look but also look new^^
You need to react to Stavanger. Trondheim is technically 4th largest. Stavanger urban area have 220k inhabitants. Its two cities that have grown together. Stavanger and Sandnes, but they are basically the same.
Stavanger is the most expensive on average City to live in.
You forgot to mention that the urban area is two cities, so you are «technically» wrong.. Trondheim has 210000 inh. by its own, and the met. area more than 300000.
@@frodehagen8690 You should read again.
Also Trondheim has 187k urban. And 280k in metro with a density of 38 pr km2. Not "more" then 300000.
And Stavanger have 320k in metro. With 120 pr km2. So what do you wanna do? Keyboard war?
The metro area of Trondheim is over 7k km2. And Stavanger metro area is 2500km2. So just stop.
@@ImperialMJG I know you think you are right, bless your soul.. But it doesen’t work tat way. I know Stavanger. Nice city with a small town feel to it. Nice, but narrow streets and small wooden houses. Not wide avenue-like streets like in Trondheim. But we have an old town as well of course. And 42000 unregistered students. But I understand your concern about beeing the 4th. largest city, and I hope you can live with that. Happy days :-)
Sandnes and Stavanger are not one City, as a "siddis" my self we see them as our lill bro nextdoor but never the same =)
@@frodehagen8690 Wow, talk about indirect looser answer. Well I am not indirect. Iam direct. Your IQ must be to low to comprehend numbers it seems.
I studied at the university in Trondheim. Best time of my life 🙂
In fact, Nidarosdomen never was finished. For some reason the last bit never was finished.
12:59
There's some nice areas in Trondheim that you can enjoy in the summer, but honestly most of the city isn't really that good looking, especially not in winter.
Too much has been lost to fires and destroyed to build new things up through the years... :-/
Still, there's preserved areas well worth visiting.
Just don't expect beauty through a whole university term.
That said, about 1/8th of the population of Trondheim is students so there's actually a fair bit going on there for students to do if you choose to study here.
the city I study in! :)
To be living in Trondheim THANK YOU FOR FINALLY EVEN CARING ABOUT US🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭🙂🙂
Don´t feel bad, not everything in Norway is beautiful. Oslo has some really uncomfortable places without adding that few gangs have had fights with each other there with knives.
Though in general, I find Norway pretty, or at least okay, and the nature is beautiful. The many nice or okay places outweigh the few bad areas though. And the cities really try and intricate nature into the cities and provide places to be and enjoy.
Tyler should definitively visit the Nidaros Cathedral if he gets the chance. It's beautiful on the inside and I remember that it just smelt, old.
Hey, that’s my home town 😮 Grew up and lived there most of my life, though I recently moved to Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦
the design of Nidarosdomen is acctually has a similar one in Paris I think if you heard of Notre Dame
Trondheim is a beautiful place and i live there😊
I hope you could look into Ålesund!!
I lived in Tr heim for...6 years. I'm Norwegian, but not FROM Trondheim. But it is a beatiful town. :)
beautiful city. Thank you❣
If you speak to a Norgwegian, there are three or four things Trondheim is really known for.
>Being a university city, Nidarosdomen Cathedral, its' historical significance, and Nidar chocolate factory. Great place to visit, although all the mention of "enjoying the sun" in the video you watched is a bit misleading. You'll get gray days most of the year.
You should defiantly see Stavanger
If you like to see more beauty of Norway, try go south east to Fredrikstand and from there Hvaler, me and my wife had our wedding in Fredrikstad we usually live in Halden, the most suthern city of Norway before border to sweden and this is also where most people go to shop that lives in Ostfold/Viken area and also Oslo Drammen area go for shopping there, but that si Sweden though called Svinesund, and the closest city to that is Stromstad.
But if you want to look at not any big city but it has been premiered as south of Norways most beautiful costal city Fredrikstad then you should check it out, it really is a beauty, it is at the end of Norways longest river Glomma that strech all the way to Norways biggest lake Mjosa or in our tung Mjøsa.
Glomma streches 621km from Fredrikstad. Mjøsa is 365squarekilometers big and the cities that lies round it is Hamar, gjøvik and Lillehammer, also pearls of cities to visit, I am not boasting though just trying to give you some hints of where to look, because there is a ton of hidden gems here in Norway to check out, there are places here that even I do not know exist, yes the fjords are majestic but so known for tourists, but said that there are other places here that equal beauties.
Me for my part that are a Norwegian, I will be going to the Philippines in my retirement I found that country to be exiting as you have found Norway to be an exiting place. Me im sick and tired of cold and wet for 7 month of the year so yeah.
When I first moved here, I lived in Bakklandet. The house was totally dilapidated and the inside of the windows would freeze with frost. We had to leave the water dripping a bit in the shower so the line didn't freeze. It was a shithole. The houses in Bakklandet are very old. Most of them are nicely renovated, but not the one I lived it.
More import, if you pause at 6:02 and look at the other side of the fjord, there you have Vanvikan. And, it's connected with boat and ferries, and it's like living super close to the city center, yet on the country side. If you ever come to Norway, this is where I would want to live :D Because I do. :p
Tyholt-tårnet are revolving one turn an hour.
And it is a radiotower.
Can you check out the Christmas market and Martnan in Røros?
I know the name of every state of the US, and many of the cities 😉🫣
You should check out Bergen as well, it has also been the capital of Norway, and is the second largest city in Norway with a population of about 272 000👍😊
And the buildings in Bakklandet, which you didn’t think were that old were actually built in the 18th century 👍
There is also a revolving restaurant in Toronto's CN Tower.
Er det ikke en restaurant i troppen på speisnedel i Satle i staten Washington? Men om den også rotter er jeg ikke sikker på.
u should check out the kings speech, i think i saw a request for this a couple of vids back but dam, theres a lot that i ( a norwegian) didnt even really know were in trondheim lmao
I would suggest that you also have a look at Reykjavik,, and. Helsinki.
14:29
Actually you've seen a lot of videos interviewing people there seeing the place in the process.
But yeah...
you have to make a film about an island called Værøy in Norway. absolutely incredible pass
If you want to see more of the inside i can recomend a clip from an old NRK (norwegian television) christmas consert with a norse artist called Aurora.
AURORA - Live in Nidarosdomen [Full concert]
ua-cam.com/video/XXVwFvkNTEg/v-deo.html
The cathedral has survived a number of wars (I think). I think its why it has been burnt down a couple of times and then restored :) Keep up with ur videos! Really good quality. It is interesting to see an american reactting to videos about Norway :)
There was an early civil war in Trondheim (in the 1200's) and then Protestant Reformation (1536) where I think the cathedral was burned the first two times. The history here is quite amazing. It was never burned during WW2, but Trondheim still shows signs of Nazi occupation. I'm reminded every day because many of the structures still stand.
the bronze spire got struck by lightning twice, which is the reason it burned in 1536 and 18th century.
@@Dejawolfs didn't the Protestants burn the place around 1536? The Bishops buildings (the surrounding buildings of the courtyard) burned down recently in the 1980s or 90's i think. They found so much archeology underneath it was amazing. I've been to the museum there once or twice. There is a whole run dien in the museum of how it was built in stages and the times it was burned. When I first moved here 20 years ago, my friend showed me the graffiti dug into the side wall of the cathedral. Hundreds of years old.
@@TheAccidentalViking i have no information on why the church burned in 1531. all i know is that the damage was extensive, and due to the reformation, there was no longer enough money to rebuild it. as such the front ship was not rebuilt. there was repairs to the eastern part of the church, but the westfront was convered into a churchyard. i know lightning struck the spire in 1687, a massive storm blew down the spire in 1689, and there was a massive fire in 1708.
@@Dejawolfs It's a beautiful Cathedral and if you ever get the chance to visit it, do. They've recently refurbished the old pipe organ and reinstalled at great expense. During Olavsfest, the people who keep the Cathedral maintained and preserved do tours and give chats about their work and have demonstrations. I've been lucky enough to participate in their artisan demonstrations, dressed in traditional garb in the Archbishop courtyard. One talk they gave explained how they've been working to replace the crumbling cement work with traditional lime mortar. They even went into an in depth explanation of the composition of lime mortar and why it's better than cement.
1. Do you have a P.O. Box to send you stuffs? 2. Challenge me about the US cities.
The houses at Bakklandet, which he though looked modern, are actually from the 18th century. So rather the same age as the United States.
I'm from Trondheim. :D I wish the video showed more. And more in debt history. But is was good what was shown anyway. Trondheim is a good place to go to if you come here. A lot of flights goes to many places. The city is pretty, more so than Oslo these days in I've heard many say. I do know a lot of geography but knowing all the american citys. naah . Not very interesting. Lets see what I remember right now. Portland, Boise, sand fransico, la. Sandiego, flagstaff, las vegas,oklohoma city st.lois, detroit, chicago, Boston, new york, nashville, seattle, charleston, dallas, knoxville,Phoenix, and a few more. :) A fun fact. When I cant sleep I start sayiing(thinking) the names of the us states. Thats called beeing a weirdo right. 😅
Hah. Just know. Norway looks good, but we have our fair share of rain, fog and cloudy grey days. Street full are just slushy and icy.. Oslo is typically like that all winter, if it isn't cold enough
I live in trondheim and I can tall you one ugly plase… The factories!

I was planning to visit Trondheim the summer but i didn’t make it so next summer yes your video give me some tips 😍😉
The tower is Trondheim's answer to the Seattle Space needle... All though not built for that reason at all, just me saying...
are you acoustic?
My home town ❣️❣️

Can you make a video for my City "Bergen" next time?

There is an unike feature in Trondheim you must comment to: Trampe.
You seem like a nice guy. I'm curious what piqued your interest in #Norway. And yes, you should definitely seek out info on the shittier aspects of #Norge. Just because it appears all shiny on the surface, doesn't mean it's solid gold. Best regards, US expatriate in the land of King Harald.
Velkommen till Trondheim :)

In London we used to have a rotating restaurant at the top of the Post Office Tower, but it was shut to the public because of the threat of IRA terrorism.
you have to lissten to aurora live in nidaros cathr.......
Trondheim is the place where the Vikings made the church, in the rain. In the south, the sun always shine. And the man who was the first white man to put his feet on Americas soil was made to leave from Trondheim, well, because he killed a few people. It was the Viking times..
