  1. Solsiden

    Solsiden translates directly to "The Sunny Side". It was realized and hurriedly transformed from an abandoned shipbuilding site into the hippest shopping mall Trondheim has to offer. Very stylish and well thought out in beautiful surroundings flanked by penthouse apartments as far as you can see. It has a long stretch of restaurants/bars located by the old area where ships were launched back in the good ol' days. Perhaps the most enjoyable of the malls in Trondheim(?). Walk across the pedestrian bridge from close to the train station, or get any eastbound bus from the centre.

    Beddingen 10, Nedre Elvehavn
  2. City Syd

    The largest shopping mall in central Norway, with 38,000 square metres of shops, restaurants and whatever else you can think of. Slightly off the beaten tourist track but it can be reached by bus/taxi. The buses 46 and 47 connects City Syd with downtown and has frequent departures, the ride is about 15 minutes. In addition there are 2 other shopping malls in close proximity (200 and 300m) to City Syd (easily spotted from the City Syd parking Lots), "StorM Sentret" and the larger "TillerTorget".

    Østre Rosten 28 -30, Tiller
  3. Nidar factory outlet

    Chocolate anyone? Nidar, one of Norway's largest candy manufacturers have their factory here in Trondheim. In their factory outlet you can buy their products at discounted prices. Often there are some minor faults with the products, like missing best before date, but nothing to worry about, really.

  4. Trondheim Torg

    Smack in the middle of the city, this mall should be able to suit most of your needs. This mall especially has many diners/cafés. In 2005 it was extended with about 20 new stores and cafés. No frill, nothing fancy, just a centrally located shopping mall with good prices.

    Kongens g 11
  5. Nordre gate

    The central shopping street in Trondheim, with international stores as well as local shops. Clothes, food, jewellery, watches, electronics, and much more can be found in this pedestrian-only street.

  6. Byhaven

    Slightly posh shopping mall with a slight majority of expensive stores. Granted, there were many more posh stores when it opened some years ago now, but the posh environment seems to remain.

    Olav Tryggvasons g 28
  7. Fjordgata

    Following the canal at the north of the city centre you have this lengthy street filled mainly with speciality stores as well as a decent selection of restaurants.

  8. Sirkusshopping

    Brand new (as of spring 2013) shopping centre east of the city centre with about 100 stores, restaurants and service facilities.

  9. Thomas Angells Gate

    Crossing Nordre gate at approximately half-way, this is a slightly smaller street with record shops and different other stores.

  10. Mercur Shopping Centre

    Also very central, this is a smaller and slightly less crowded shopping centre than Torg; a good alternative.

  11. City Lade

    A new-ish, large mall at Lade.
