Cruise passenger tips
- Walk or tram from the port to Nidaros Cathedral.
- Bakklandet's old warehouses line the Nidelva river, ideal for self guided photos.
- City walks work well even when fjord-style tours are not available.
Excellent walkable city. Nidaros Cathedral and Bakklandet suit most call lengths.
