Kristiansten Fortress had an important defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the scenes its fortified walls have witnessed.

If you've got time to stop for a while in Trondheim, Kristiansten Fortress is a fine place to kick off your exploring. This history-filled fortress is one of numerous attractions that'll keep you occupied here. Nidaros Cathedral, Sverresborg Trondelag Folk Museum, and Archbishop's Palace are also waiting to be explored close by.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,073 reviews)
The rooms could use a bit of maintenance (floor scratched, bed board stuffing cracked) but everything else is top notch. The location is great (10 minutes from the train station), the breakfast options are incredible, the staff is very nice and helpful.
