Trondheim's compact Midtbyen (city centre) is walkable end-to-end in 20 minutes. For day trips, the AtB city buses, Vy regional trains and the iconic Trondheim Tramway (Gråkallbanen) to Bymarka all accept leashed dogs.
AtB operates Trondheim's bus network including bus 10 to Bymarka (Skistua) and bus 3 to the Munkholmen ferry. Leashed dogs with muzzle travel free; no ticket needed for the dog. Among the most generous rules in Europe.
💡 Norwegian buses require a muzzle for medium and large dogs (small dogs in carrier exempt) — carry a soft muzzle, sold in any Norwegian pet shop for 200-300 NOK.
The world's northernmost tramway and Norway's only surviving tram line — Gråkallbanen runs from the centre to Lian in Bymarka (8.8 km, 22 min). Leashed dogs accepted free of charge in vintage 1955 wooden carriages, muzzle required for medium/large dogs.
💡 The Gråkallbanen is one of the most photogenic dog-and-tram experiences in Europe — the 1955 wooden carriages and Bymarka views make it iconic.
Vy operates direct trains from Trondheim to Oslo (6h30 on the iconic Dovrebanen line through the mountains), Bodø (10h Nordlandsbanen) and Stockholm (12h with one change). Leashed dogs travel free in dedicated dog-friendly carriages; no muzzle required.
💡 The Trondheim-Oslo Dovrebanen at 6h30 is among the world's most scenic rail journeys — book a window seat in a pet-allowed carriage for the Dovre mountain crossing.
