Airport bus, train, local buses and taxis from Værnes.
Short answer
The main public transport options from Trondheim Airport Værnes to the city centre are the Værnesekspressen airport bus, about 25–30 minutes, and the local train, about 35 minutes. The bus runs up to four times an hour and stops near the central hotels. Taxis are booked at kiosks by the arrivals exit, where you get the price before the trip.
Why
- Avinor says the train from Trondheim Airport to the city centre takes about 35 minutes on the local line between Trondheim and Steinkjer, which stops at the airport.
- Værnesekspressen advertises up to four departures an hour and about 25–30 minutes to Trondheim city centre, with stops near all the central hotels.
- Avinor says taxis are booked at Fast Travel kiosks by the arrivals exit, and that drivers must tell you the fixed price before the trip starts.
Details
