The central Norwegian area of Trondelag has its ideological capital in Trondheim, founded by Viking king Olaf Tryggvason in the 10th century and the seat of Norway's power until the 13th. Today, it's still the country's third-largest city, a university town with a rich culture. Trondelag's western offshore islands of Hitra and Froya are popular for outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, biking, snorkeling and scuba diving. They are also one of the world's best spots for deep sea fishing.

We were a group of four who tried "The Cure". Wonderful room! Very well planned, and so much fun! Highly recommend it for people wanting to try out escape rooms. We've tried both "The Heist", "Magic School" and "Behind Bars" previously, and had a lot of fun with those as well. Professional people who obviously put a lot of work into what they do.

I found the Ringve music museum after I did the Lade trails and was considering my options over waffles at Sponhuset. It was about 15 mins or so walk and I managed to get there in time for one of their two guided tours of the day. I'm glad I made the choice to go there and arrive when I did, as the tour was fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and he played a number of pieces for us on the various instruments in the rooms (rooms which you would otherwise not see without the tour). It was a guide to musical history in Norway, spanning centuries and covering many composers and musicians, and included a history of the museum itself. In the main building itself, there was a temporary exhibition which was quite interactive and the main exhibition held a number of beautiful instruments. It was a lovely and unexpected trip to Ringve and one which was absolutely worth it.
7. Den Gode Nabo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 69 reviews
Den Gode Nabo har siden nittitallet etablert seg som en av Trondheims best besøkte puber. I begynnelsen var Naboen, som den gjerne blir referert til, en bydelspub for beboerne på denne siden av Nidelven; elven som skiller Bakklandet og Møllenberg fra Midtbyen. Men det skulle fort vise seg å bli en populær pub, ikke bare for de i absolutt nærhet, men også for resten av Trondheim. I tillegg visste turistene å sette stor pris på puben vår. Naboen måtte derfor utvides, og i årene som fulgte bygde vi oss innover i brygga så langt det var mulig å komme. Bak hver vegg skjulte det seg små skatter som etter hvert ble hengt opp på vegger og i tak, og som fortsatt henger på Den Gode Nabo. Gulvet og veggene er sjarmerende skjeve, noe som seg hør og bør i ett gammelt pakkhus, og dette er noe som har fått være som det var. Nettopp dette har bidratt mye til den atmosfæren og stemningen som oppstår en vanlig kveld på Naboen. Denne varme og lune stemmningen gjester og ansatte setter pris på.

Loved this place!! Just visiting this store is an experience worth the while! From you arrive, you get blown away by all the colour`s and forms. It is easy to fall in love with this shop. We had a hard time deciding what to choose, but ended up with two bags of lovely cups and a bowl.
