Trondheim Tramway Museum

About

Trondheim Tramway Museum offers a nostalgic journey through the city’s tramway history, preserving the vehicles and stories that shaped local transport for more than a century. Located at Munkvoll, the museum centres on a collection of beautifully restored trams, from early wooden cars to later electric models that once ran through Trondheim’s streets. Visitors can step inside selected vehicles, explore technical details and learn about the people who operated and maintained the network. Archival photographs, tools and uniforms add depth to the narrative, showing how the tramway influenced daily life and urban development. During the summer season, historic trams often run on a short heritage line, bringing the past to life in motion.

Location

Trondheim Tramway Museum is located at Vognhallveien 1b in the Munkvoll area of Trondheim, housed in the historic depot of the Gråkallbanen line, about 6 km northeast of the city center. Easily reached by the still-operating heritage tram from St. Olavs gate, it showcases vintage trams, service vehicles, posters, and tickets tracing the city's rail history from 1901. This northeastern spot on the Gråkallbanen route anchors a peaceful residential zone with easy city links, blending transport nostalgia with nearby nature and urban draws for extended outings. Ride the museum's heritage trams through wooded hills to Lian, where trails fan into Bymarka forest reserve—vast hiking paths, lakes, and ski routes draw outdoorsy visitors for blueberry picking, cross-country tracks, or the Granåsen ski jump arena hosting jumps and events. Back near Munkvoll station, quiet parks and paths invite strolls amid mid-century homes, while buses like line 20 zip 15 minutes to the harbor's Rockheim music museum in its silo edifice or Pirbadet waterpark's slides and saunas. Venture south to Solsiden's wharf eateries and Gamle Bybro's red arches framing Bakklandet's colorful houses, indie bars like Trondhjem Mikrobryggeri, and cycle lift whimsy.
