Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We only had one night to spend in Trondheim, but we visited this area for walking and dinner and found it a kaleidoscope of colors. Hard to park in the area--taxi would be better

Lovely views from all angles along the river. Great opportunity to photos with the houses, bridges and even the church reflecting in the river. Definitely worth a stroll through this lovely town.

Of course one of the places to go when you're in Trondheim is to take pictures here! The reflections of the building is absolutely beautiful, and what you see on all the souvenir seem to have just come true. Lovely place, and you couldn't miss it especially coming from the cruise port like us.

Great city to visit. Very pleasant. I walked in the city taking pictures in the middle of the night and nobody bothered me. You really should visit Trondheim if you are in Norway.
NOTE: If you happen to be in Oslo travelling North to Trondheim, Go to VY office in Oslo and ask for a ticket FOR THE OLD TRAIN ( RED TRAIN). This route Oslo-Trondheim will blow your mind.

Great place to walk around, pretty buildings on the water front. Really peaceful so long as you visit at a time where hordes of disgusting cruise ship users aren’t descending on the area.

Stopped at trondheim as part of our cruise. It’s a lovely area of the city. Norway is always so clean and tidy. Luckily the weather was nice during our visit in June

We enjoyed our visit to Trondheim. It was on 18 May, the day after Norway's Celebration Day. It was one of the planned stops from our MSC cruise. We found the city charming with the colorful houses near the Old Town Bridge. We also walked from there to the cathedral and bishops palace area. Luckily there were some ladies in their traditional Norwegian dresses (Bunad dress) near the church that allowed us to take pictures. A very peaceful city and attractions to see in Norway.

We enjoyed a beautiful 70 degree and sunny walk through this entire neighborhood filled with color, light, cool bars and lots of locals. This is THE place to visit in Trondheim!

I will be in Trondheim on Sunday, September 23. Will shops and galleries in Old Town be open that day?

I am afraid that almost everything will be closed in Bakklandet except some cafes and restaurants, and a 7-11, near the intersection by the Gamle Bybro. By late September I am pretty sure even the galleries will be closed on Sunday.
But, I would still bike/stroll through, maybe go to GÃ¥saparken and bird watch, climb up to Kristiansten Festning if you feel energetic, and definitely take photos on the Gamle Bybro en route to Nidarosdomen. First choice of cafe.... Dromedar. First choice of restaurant.... Folk og Fe.
Good luck!

Does anybody know what are the shops and cafes opening hours on Sunday and Monday in Bakklandet?

Sunday is only cafes, convenience stores, and restaurants in Norway. Almost nothing else is open as far as businesses.
Most tourist oriented spots are open on Sunday as are cinemas. Most Norwegians try to do outdoor activities on Sundays.
Mondays are fairly normal for businesses, though I know of a restaurant or two that close on Monday, none of which are in Bakklandet.
Are the shops, galleries and restaurants
open on Sundays?

Hello! How do I go from where the Holland America ship docks to Bakklandet Old Town? Thank you

Hi. I think you need to take a taxi. It is a bit far to walk, unless the weather is nice. Then you can walk along side the river, till you get to an old bridge on your left. Cross the bridge and you are there..
Enjoy 😊
