NORWAY - CITIES

Trondheim

The oldest of the wharves along the River Nidelva date back to the 18th century; nevertheless, they still give the impression of the waterfront as it was long before then. The wharves remind us of the importance of Trondheim as a merchant city. The Old Town Bridge was built in 1861. The wooden gate on the west side of the bridge is known as the Gate of Fortune.
