    Gamle Bybro (Old Town Bridge) is one of Trondheim's landmarks and a popular photo spot for tourists. The old city bridge is the perfect spot to take a photo of the colorful houses lining the banks of the Nidelva River.

      Trondheim's old city bridge Gamle Bybro (also Gamle Bybrua or Bybroen) crosses the Nidelva River. According to the story, it should bring good luck to those who cross it.

      Maybe the hoped-for luck is one reason why the bridge, which is kept in red, is one of the most photographed objects in the city. It is correspondingly difficult to catch the bridge without other people in the picture. Another reason might be the perfect view of Trondheim's old warehouse district. The old storage houses shine in their bright colors, especially when the sun is shining, and are simply great to look at.

        The old bridge of the city, not far from the cathedral, replaced in 1861 an even older bridge (end of the 17th century). It offers magnificent views of the gables of the warehouses along the river; the red, yellow and brown wooden houses built on stilts in the 18th century. At the end of the bridge, Øvre Bakklandet (to the right) and Nedre Bakklandet (to the left) form a long paved narrow street lined with low wooden houses, in which today scene Cafes, restaurants and art or craft galleries can be found.

          The bridge is also a masterpiece of ancient engineering. You also have a wonderful view of the old town on the bridge.

                                        Experience has shown that it is best to visit in the afternoon, then the crusaders have spread out in the city. Then the bridge is no longer crowded.

                                                As early as 1685, an old city bridge was inaugurated, commissioned by the Norwegian king, which crossed the river Nidelva and connected the Bakklandet district with the city center, which lies on a peninsula. The wooden structure, built on three stone pillars, had a small customs house on each side and existed in this form until the middle of the 19th century. In 1861, it was rebuilt and the bridge took on its current appearance.
