Tyholt Tower
Tyholttårnet
A 124-metre TV tower whose rotating restaurant at the top completes a revolution about once an hour, offering views over the city and fjord.
Tyholt Tower was built in 1983 and stands about 124 metres tall, making it the tallest structure in Trondheim. It sits on the hillside east of the city. At 80 metres up is the rotating restaurant Egon, which takes about an hour to complete one turn, so you can dine while taking in 360-degree views of the city, the cathedral, the fjord and the distant mountains. You only need to make a purchase at the restaurant to go up, with no separate ticket required. Booking an evening table to watch the sunset is recommended. It's about 10 minutes by bus from the city centre.
Opening hours
Approx. 11:00–23:00 (restaurant hours)
