Trondheim
Discover Trondheim
Trondheim, Norway's third-largest city and former Viking capital, blends over a thousand years of history with a modern, youthful energy driven by NTNU, one of Europe's largest technical universities. At the heart of it all is Solsiden, a former shipyard turned into one of the city's most vibrant districts, right on the banks of the Nidelva river.
Our apartment hotel in Trondheim puts you steps from the water, with the iconic Nidaros Cathedral, the colorful wooden warehouses of Bakklandet, and the city's best restaurants and nightlife all within easy walking distance. Whether you're here for work with one of Trondheim's growing tech and energy companies, studying at NTNU, or exploring the city's Viking history, our fully furnished apartments give you a spacious, comfortable base for your stay.
Whether you're here for a short business trip, a research stay at NTNU, or simply to explore Norway's Viking heritage, Trondheim promises an unforgettable experience. Stay with us and enjoy the perfect base to explore this remarkable city, for a single night, a month, or considerably longer.

Life in Trondheim
Trondheim is Norway's ancient capital and one of its oldest cities, and Nidaros Cathedral, the country's largest medieval building, is just a short walk from your apartment. Wander the narrow streets of Bakklandet with its colorful wooden houses, cross the old Gamle Bybro bridge, or take the historic Gråkallbanen tram up to Lian for panoramic views over the city and fjord.
Trondheim is also a major hub for technology, energy, and research, home to NTNU and a growing cluster of tech and biotech companies, alongside SINTEF, one of Europe's largest independent research institutes. Outside of work and study, the city has a strong café and food culture centered around Solsiden and Bakklandet, and easy access to the Trondheimsfjord and surrounding nature.
Getting to and Around Trondheim
Trondheim Airport Værnes is around 30-40 minutes from the city centre by airport bus, train, or taxi, with direct connections to most of Scandinavia and several European hubs. Trondheim Central Station, just a short walk from our Solsiden apartments, connects the city to Oslo, Bodø, and the rest of the Trøndelag region by train.
Once you're here, Trondheim is easy to get around without a car. The city centre is compact and walkable, an extensive bus network covers the wider area, and the city's well-developed bike lanes and public bike-share scheme make cycling a popular way to get around, even through the winter months. Cruise ships and the Hurtigruten coastal ferry also call at Trondheim's harbour, right by Solsiden, making it easy to combine a stay with a longer coastal journey along the Norwegian coastline.
Why Choose an Apartment Hotel in Trondheim
A hotel room works for a night or two, but if you're staying in Trondheim for a week, a month, or longer, an apartment hotel gives you far more for your money. Every Vander apartment comes with its own kitchen, laundry access, and separate living space, so you can cook your own meals and settle in properly instead of living out of a suitcase.
For companies sending employees to Trondheim for projects with NTNU, research institutes, or the city's growing tech and energy sector, this also means predictable, transparent pricing with no surprise extras, weekly cleaning included, and a dedicated team on hand if anything comes up. Explore our business apartments in Trondheim for full details. This makes Vander a smart choice whether you're relocating for a semester at NTNU, managing a multi-month energy project, or simply want more space than a standard hotel room provides.
The longer you stay, the more it pays off. Cooking even a few meals a week instead of eating out adds up quickly, and with prices that decrease the longer you book, an apartment hotel in Trondheim is often significantly cheaper than a comparable hotel room over the course of a month or more.
