A message for visitors in Trondheim

In Trondheim, the most convenient transportation is bus. Unlike London, there is no underground here... A 24-hour bus ticket costs only 55 kroner. You can buy it from the bus driver when you get on the bus and you can also ask the bus driver for a small free book that contains the timetables and the routes of all buses available here.

It is easy to trace the bus you want to get on as you can see a number with the final destination written on the head banner of the bus. With bus no 5, you can go to Stokkanhaugen and walk around in the jungle path, if you are lucky, you might see a moose in the field. You can go to Jonsvatnet with bus no 24 to see the lake view. Bus 75 or 76 to Spongdal, from there you can overlook the Trondheimsfjorden. Bus 60 or 20 to the Moholt Tower, there you can have a meal in the revolving restaurant on the top of the tower. You can visit some big shopping plazas located outside the town such as City Lade and City Syd.

Wah! From the bus routes I mention you might think that Trondheim is very big to travel around. However, the town center is not as big as what you think. You can walk around easily and you can walk along the river Nidelva to enjoy the view. You can also walk from the town center to Gløshaugen which is one of the campus of Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) to see the campus life.
