SHOW ME THE BEST HOTELS IN CENTRAL NORWAY
Nord Trøndelag
A relatively small region in size, made up of only two counties (South and North Trøndelag), Trøndelag nonetheless packs in a lot for visitors. Here you will find, among other highlights, the charming mining town of Røros, a UNESCO world heritage site, and Trondheim, Norway’s third largest city. Nidaros Cathedral, the country’s oldest and largest religious building, has been drawing pilgrims for centuries, right since the Middle Ages. And they keep coming, although today’s holidaymakers are just as likely to come to fish in some of Norway’s best salmon rivers, take in a pop concert at the new Rockheim Museum, or travel by car, to drive the famous Atlantic Road. Whether learning about Viking heritage at Stiklestad, sleeping surrounded by bears and wolves at Namsskogen Family Park, or hiking in Børgefjell National Park, visitors will be kept busy in Trøndelag.
