It may seem that you'd visit Kristiansten to look at the old fortress, the cannons, the thick walls, the view of Trondheim. All those are nice, of course, but what makes me love Kristiansten is its large green areas. Below the fortress is a forestlike park, and towards tyholt are large lawns, with people doing sports or picnicing. If they... More

The fortress is a nice tourist attraction, with a splendid view of Trondheim. But the surrounding green areas is what I appreciate the most. It's a very nice place to relax and contemplate. More

The fort park used to be closed. Some years ago they opened it and it has now become a friendly destination for all. The small cafe in this area is usually open. Good coffee and cakes are available at a decent price. More

A nice place for a Sunday stroll, with good, but not exeptional food. The view from the fortress over the city is exeptional. More

Just correcting. I live in Trondheim and regard the fort as a nice walk from Trondheim centre. Nice view of the centre of town (west part). University students and locals often use the parks surrounding the fort as a picnic area and for playing football. More

Start your trip to Trondheim with a walk to the top of the historic fort to see the layout of the entire city and to view Trondheim's own "Alcatraz" in the bay. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery and tranquility while you plan your next stop. The famous Cathedral is just downhill across the old bridge. More
