Bakklandet
A district of colorful 18th- and 19th-century wooden houses east of the Old Town Bridge, with cobblestone streets lined with cafés and small shops.
Bakklandet is Trondheim's best-preserved old neighborhood. Once home to workers and fishermen, its colorful wooden houses now host cafés, restaurants, vintage shops and galleries. The cobbled lanes wind between windows full of flowers. Here you can taste Norwegian cinnamon buns and coffee, or find a small restaurant serving local dishes. The district is home to the world's first bicycle assist ramp, the "Trampe", and climbing the slope leads to Kristiansten Fortress. It is open all day, and it is busiest in the evening.
