I always feel very safe in Trondheim! There are one neighborhood called Buran/Lademoen that could be a little bit sketchy but I am rarely there. At daytime, it's no problem but maybe stay away from there at night time. Don't think anything bad would happen but there could be some people on drugs there.

Solo travel

I have been living in Trondheim since 4 months. I came here for 6 months as an exchange student from Nepal. I like the summer here. It is all over green and sunny most of the hour in a day. The nature here is very nice, you can enjoy the lake, forest, river, and the city.

Trondheim will always be my second home, but even if i wasn't biased i would still recommend this lovely place! The cozy yet lively town provides you with both a nice stroll through beautiful streets with houses coloured in all the rainbows colors. But if you want the night life, there is certainly no problem with that either! Trondheim is beautiful, scenery, food, hikes.. Just lovely!
