Trondheim City Walk: This guided walk starts at the harbor, which was developed during the second half of the 19th century. We walk up to Stiftsgården, the royal residence in Trondheim. Possibly the largest wooden building in Northern Europe, this stately home has housed royals and their guests since 1800. We continue to the market square to take a closer look at the statue of the city’s founder, the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, towering over the busy square. Click to explore!
Winter King Crab Safari: Catch your own king crab from a frozen fjord and then enjoy eating it by a cozy log fire. The king crab safari is your chance to catch, learn how to cook - and most importantly, eat - this huge creature, which can span two metres and weigh up to 15 kilos. This unique winter experience starts with a snowmobile-drawn sleigh ride from a traditional fisherman’s home to a frozen fjord. Through a hole in the ice, you will set about trying to catch a king crab. Everyone in the group gets to take part in sawing the hole in the ice and then bringing up the catch. Click to explore!
