Marinen

Marinen is a spacious riverside park on the banks of the Nidelva and one of Trondheim’s most recognizable open-air gathering spots. With broad lawns, wide walkways, and an open sightline toward nearby landmarks, it feels like a “natural venue” even on quiet days—while on event days, the park’s scale and layout make crowds feel comfortable rather than compressed.

Inside the park, the experience is relaxed yet event-ready: large green lawns work perfectly for a pre-show break or picnic, the riverfront path keeps you close to the water, and the area is regularly used for outdoor festivals and public events thanks to its open, flexible space and easy flow between zones.

You’ll find it at Bispegata 3, Trondheim, Norway. Access is straightforward from Bispegata, with clear paths leading you from the entrances to the main lawns and down to the river edge; bike racks and convenient drop-off options are nearby.

Trondheim, the lively capital of the Trøndelag region, blends Scandinavian charm with the energy of major events. The city is known for a strong cultural scene and a true sporting spirit, offering visitors an excellent selection of concerts, matches, and all kinds of happenings throughout the year. The atmosphere is relaxed yet well organized, with everything designed so your event experience runs smoothly, without stress, and with plenty of enjoyment.

Getting around the city is easy with AtB, which runs the bus network and the tram, making it simple and intuitive to reach key areas and larger venues. If you arrive by train, the main hub is Trondheim sentralstasjon (Trondheim S), located close to the city center and well connected to the rest of Trondheim. For air travel, you’ll use Trondheim lufthavn Værnes (TRD), and reaching the city from the airport is straightforward by road and public transport, making Trondheim practical for both quick trips and longer stays.

Before or after the event, Trondheim rewards you with a walk along the Nidelva river and through the colorful Bakklandet district, where cafés and small shops are perfect for a break. The view from Gamle Bybro is one of those classic postcard moments, and just a few minutes away you’ll find Nidarosdomen, a monumental cathedral and an important city symbol. If you want a bit more panorama, the climb up to Kristiansten festning is often the perfect way to end a day in a city that works equally well as a destination and as a stage.
