Why

  1. MET Norway's data for 21 December 2026 give sunrise in Trondheim at 10:01 and sunset at 14:31.
  2. On 21 June 2026 the sun sets at 23:38 and rises at 03:02, and at solar midnight it is only about 3 degrees below the horizon.
  3. At the equinoxes, sunset is at 18:33 on 20 March and at 19:15 on 23 September.

Details

Trondheim has neither midnight sun nor polar night: the sun rises even on the shortest day and sets for less than three and a half hours on the longest. The midnight sun starts further north; at the Arctic Circle, Visit Norway gives the period from 12 June to 1 July. Compared with Oslo, winter days are shorter and summer evenings longer: in Oslo the sun sets at 15:12 on 21 December and at 22:43 on 21 June.

Tip

In December, plan outdoor sightseeing between about 10:00 and 14:30, when the sun is up, and keep indoor visits for the afternoon.
