Your road trip adventure in Norway begins as soon as you reach Trondheim and pick up your car. You’ll stay here for 2 nights and explore what to see in Trondheim, sample the local cuisine, and choose from a curated selection of the best hotels and places to stay in the city.

Trondheim is a beautiful city with plenty to discover. If you arrive before check-in time or prefer to get started on your sightseeing right away, we recommend checking out Kristiansten Fortress. Taking a stroll in the city center is a great alternative. Soak in the lovely atmosphere and sit down for a bit to eat or drink.

Find your way to your hotel in Trondheim. We recommend choosing a hotel in a central location for easy exploring. Check-in typically starts between 2 and 4 PM at hotels in Norway. Settle in and make plans for the evening.

As dinnertime approaches, it's time to head out for a bite to eat. If you are looking to dine at a popular restaurant in Trondheim, it's often a good idea to reserve a table in advance.

Don’t miss out on dining at Bror, a top-rated dining destination in Trondheim. If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Britannia Hotel, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu. You might also want to secure a reservation at Graffi Grill Midtbyen. With a reputation for consistently satisfying customers, it’s a perfect choice to enhance your stay in Trondheim this evening.

Following your dinner, dive into the local bar culture at Bar Moskus. Enjoy this evening's relaxed ambiance with delightful drinks.

On day 2 of your road trip, you’ll start and end your day in Trondheim, where you still have 1 night left. You'll spend part of the day exploring places of interest outside the immediate city, including Trondheim, Roros, and Engan.

Awaiting your discovery is the locally appreciated Old Town Bridge, a romantic historical landmark in Trondheim.

Fasten your seatbelt and make your way to your next stop — Roros, home to many well-known sights in the region. Keep in mind that your travel time from Trondheim to Roros may take around 2 hours 15 min without traffic disruptions. Upon arrival in Roros, we highly recommend checking out some of the top attractions.

Set out on a self-guided sightseeing tour at Røros Church and explore the UNESCO world heritage-designated features.

Set your GPS to Engan and hit the road. Expect a journey of approximately 2 hours 23 min without stops. Soak in the beautiful landscapes as you drive and look forward to exploring your next destination. Engan beckons with new experiences!

One of our top recommendations for your sightseeing is Mågålaupet. Spend some time admiring the picturesque features of the canyon before you continue to your next stop.

When you’re done exploring the area’s best attractions, you’ll drive back to your accommodation in Trondheim.

Trondheim is a place where the culinary landscape is as diverse as its attractions. So before the day ends, treat your palate to a taste of local cuisine at one of the best restaurants in Trondheim.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Frati restaurant, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Fagn is another top choice with a popular menu. You could also check for a table at Ramp Pub & Spiseri. As an establishment that consistently gains high praises from customers, it’s an ideal choice in Trondheim tonight.

Keep the excitement of the evening going by visiting a bar or two. Kieglekroa is an excellent place to start. You could also check out Den Gode Naboen As, offering a different kind of charm. A last recommendation for the day is Øx Tap Room. This bar promises an enjoyable experience with tasty drinks and a vibrant setting.

As the day draws to a close, take a moment to unwind and prepare for the next exciting chapter of your road trip in Norway.
