Trondheim Tramway Museum

Located in a former tram depot in central Trondheim, this museum documents the history of the city's tram system. Visitors can view a collection of vintage trams and ride on a surviving stretch of track to experience a heritage journey on an original vehicle.

Getting There

The museum is situated within the central area of Trondheim. Depending on your starting point in the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief bus ride, typically taking less than 15 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the depot exhibits and complete a ride on-track ride.

When to Visit

The museum is best visited during the daytime.
