Beautiful and historic place. Free entrance in the fort walls. You can be your own guide as there are QR codes scattered around the place that’ll open videos explaining more about the place. You have a beautiful viewpoint of the city and the fjord.

I visited a hot morning in mid July of 2025. The place was empty with the exception of a busload of Italian tourists with their guide. Everything was closed, including the cute little café and renovation work was going on in parts of the area. There i a beautiful view over the city of Trondheim and the fjord from the concrete walls downhill from the fortress. Parking is free for an hour which is largely enough time for the visit.

It's worth walking up the hill to the fortress for the view of trondheim you get there. There's also a small cafe and lots of outdoor sitting spaces in the park.

The fortress was free to enter. It was a slightly rainy day so not a lot of people around. It was part of a tour we were on so it was nice to have a guide to explain the history. I would suggest reading a bit about it before seeing it as I did not see a lot of explanation signs up there. The views are also great.

The views from the fortress are pretty spectacular. There are picnic tables, so you could bring a picnic lunch or snack and enjoy a picnic. The museum is free. They sell a limited amount of snacks and they do not accept credit cards - only cash or VIPs - which is the mobile wallet for Norway. The display in the museum is not that much. We hiked up the hill to the fortress on a very hot day. The cafe did not have cold water, but we were allowed to take a couple of the cups used for coffee and fill them from the taps in the bathrooms.

We drove up to get the views. 1 hour free parking so worth it and saved time too. Nice views and lots of history information to read.

This is a well preserved fortress. You can see the cannons and old uniforms. The stairs and floors are original too. It provides a good view of the city too
