Allright, here is the deal. I have not lived in this city for like 5 years, so some of the info might be old. I just wanted to give something back to this forum, and since there is no datasheet to be found on this city i`m gonna provide what i can.
General info
Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway, sporting a whopping 184 960 citizens per january 1st 2015. By norwegian standards, that is pretty god damn big.
The city though still feels like a smaller town, even for most norwegians, so that will probably apply for everyone reading this too. There is a another reason though for this datasheet, and that is because Trondheim is known as a college city. Aproximently 18000 students live in this city, most of them aged 19-26. If you got half-
decent game and want to get that flag, it should be a wrap during a normal weekend.
How to get there / Where to stay
By plane preferably. Usually you can find cheap flights from Oslo, about 40-50$ if you order a few weeks in advance. http://www.Norwegian.no or http://www.sas.no
If you are a backpacking hippie or on a budget (nothing wrong with that) or the flights happen to be expensive, you can take the train ( http://www.nsb.no ) or a bus ( http://www.lavprisekspressen.no ). About 8-9 hour ride, price ranges from 15$ - 90$. Bus is cheaper, train more comfy.
A hotel room is about 100$ per night. You could go to P-hotels for a cheaper option, about 60$. I`m not sure about the policy of brining a guest to the room, however DO NOT book into a cheap hostel (i think there`s only two of those anyway) if you plan on bringing a girl back.
If you choose to go the airbnb route, make sure you stay as close to the town centre as possible. Otherwise, taxis will cost you a cool 25-35 dollars. There are no Ubers. The night bus sure as fuck aint for players, though theres no shame in taking it during the day.
Places to stay:
Town centre, Solsiden, Ila, Møllenberg, Bakklandet, Buran, Svartlamon or Øya. You can walk in a circle around those places in about an hour so this aint exactly Paris.
Places to go / hang / party / ect
There are three places to party. Four actually.
The town centre, Solsiden (3-10min walk), Studentersamfundet (10-20min walk) or a private party.
Because the alcohol is so expensive, pretty much everyone stays at a private party (vorspeil) until at least 23:00 to save some money. A beer out on the town is anywhere from 8-10$ for 0.5L. Glass of wine probably the same and drinks goes for 10-12$. Maybe more, i dont really remember. Point is, its expensive. In the store though you can get it cheaper 3$ for a 0.5L beer and cheap wine is around 12$ so any student will likely try their best to get shitfaced before going out to save some cash. Hard liquor (and wine) can only be bought at the gouverment owner Vinmonopolet and will therefore be expensive. We`re talking 40$ for a 1L bottle of Vodka.
IMPORTANT:
If you want to buy wine or hard liquor at vinmonopolet, you will need to do it before 18:00 at weekdays or 15:00 on saturday.
Beer in the store can be bought until 20:00 at weekdays and 18:00 on saturday
Sunday no alcohol except in bars/pubs
Places to party:
Like i said, i havent lived here for years, so i cant recommend too many.
Brukbar/blæst is one of them though. At Solsiden
Diskoteket is another. They probably play house, hip-hop or reggae/dancehall. Or EDM.
If you`re into pop music, i`d say most other places. This was not a hip city when i left it. Drunk young bitches like pop music though, and you probably like that, so 1/2 will have to suffice.
There should be a solid rock scene though. Expect shit like final countdown, guns n roses and other classic 80/90s rock hits in the rest of the places.
For metalheads there might still be a place but i cant recall the name. There is a metal scene there for sure though, so im assuming they still got a place to go to.
If anyone is actually interested i might call some old friends and ask whats up over there as far as nightlife goes. But the best thing to do is just explore or ask around. Lots of places are hit/miss depending on the night
Studentersamfundet is ran by students of the town, and they work there for free. The alcohol is cheaper there, and on occasions big events will draw plenty of people. We`re talking about a thousand people on sold out events. When i lived there it was usually kinda quiet though. Probably a hit or miss place. Check their website before you go: https://www.samfundet.no/en
Every second (yes) year they arrange the student festival UKA. There will be concerts, party themes and hordes of drunk students blasting off 3/4 of their scholarships. The festival lasts for about three weeks and is usually held in october. It is a decent time to go get that flag. Wont be arranged again before 2017 though.
IMPORTANT:
All clubs and bars closes at 02:00
No exceptions.
Which means you have a 2-3 hour window to seal the deal, OR, get invited to an afterparty (nachspeil)
Things to do/see:
Right. There is a (semi)famous church. It is old as dirt and got some impressive architecture. I distinctly remember, after about three years living there, stopping for a second to look at it and realizing that it actually was kinda impressive. I`m sure a bunch of people died for its creation.
If you happen to find yourself on a bike, you can take the worlds first (and perhaps only) bikeelevator. How`s that for adventure?
Located at Bakklandet http://trampe.no/en/home (in the background you see the church tower)
I dont really recommend any other things, unless you are specifically interested in the history of the city. Then just hit up the tourist websites.
Actually, to take a bikeride around the city aint that bad of an idea.
The girls
The girls are typically scandinavian. We`re talking what Hitler envisioned as the perfect human specimen. Blue eyes, blonde hair. Well, some of them. Immigration is very common in Norway and you`ll probably find something for any taste that you have.
A decent amount of foreign students also move to the city for their college degree.
Anyways, norwegian girls range from stunning to hideous. Feminism has hit this country hard, but they still spread their legs like viking bitches. Lots of good girls actually. And lots of conflicted ones.
I guess i will summarize with HB6, HB7 or HB8 are definitely down for a ONS.
As far as prefered male ethnicities goes, it will probably change from person to person.
The sexual age limit btw is 16. Go ahead if thats your thing.
Im sure the younger ones fuck too and if you hit the outskirts you could join the norwegian equivalent of the redneck hillbilles (rånere) with the 14 year olds. You will need a car though, an old volvo or something that you styled the shit outta, we`re not talking pimp my ride per se, but sort of, only without the style. Get it?
Something like this:

GAME:
Online game:
Tinder.
There are sites like http://www.Sukker.no , but i believe people sign up there to get into a relationship. Go ahead if you plan of staying for a semester or something, otherwise just swipe through the tinder.
Daygame:
Go ahead and be the first to ever do it. More or less. Daygame is daygame if your game is tight.
Important / misc
Best times to hit up the city:
- Mid august to september when the students gather back and the weather is still decent
- The month of may or early june. When the students end their semester and the weather is becoming decent.
- Any time Uka is arranged.
The citys (un!)official drink:
Karsk. 96% moonshine + coffee
You read that right.
Trondheim are the creators of the sport known as Basse:
http://www.basse.no/basse-pa-video/
Drugs:
Weed: 15-25$ per gram. Quality may vary.
Hash: 12-20$ per gram. Quality may vary.
Cocaine: 100-150$ per gram. Quality will suck.
Others: Why bother
There are no special places to cop these. You gotta know someone that knows someone.
If the police catches you, there is a solid 500-1500$ fine waiting for you. Plus the mandatory overnight vacation in a empty room with a bigass lock on the door.
Overall, it`s cozy little city to live in for a semester or two. If you are a student you got a bunch of good activities to participate in.
If you are visiting, hit it and gtfo.
