Old Town Bridge

Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) is one of Trondheim’s most recognizable landmarks, linking the city center with the historic Bakklandet district. Built in 1861, the red wooden bridge is known for its decorative portal, often called the “Gate of Happiness.” It offers pleasant views of the Nidelva River, colorful waterfront warehouses, and traditional wooden houses. A visit suits travelers interested in local history, architecture, and scenic walks, especially since the bridge provides easy access to one of Trondheim’s most charming neighborhoods.
