Getting There

• Trondheim is accessible via Trondheim Airport (Værnes), located approximately 30 kilometers northeast of the city center, which serves as the primary gateway for international travelers. Direct flights connect Trondheim to major European hubs, making it convenient for attendees traveling from abroad. Once you arrive, local public transportation is reliable and efficient—buses and trams operate throughout the city and provide easy access to central areas. The airport also offers shuttle services and car rental options for those preferring independent travel. For shorter distances within Trondheim, taxis and rideshare services are readily available and offer a convenient alternative to public transit. Plan your arrival a day early to acclimate and explore the city before the symposium begins.
