Britannia Hotel
Trondheim is the only city in Norway where you can see the northern lights, and December — when the sun sets earlier and the landscape is covered in snow — is an excellent time to go. The city is also home to the elegant, five-star Britannia Hotel, which opened in 1870 and recently reopened after a $160 million-dollar renovation. Don’t miss its series of Christmas and New Year’s Eve concerts, which will be performed by the Britannia Superior Swing Orchestra among the palms and the star-studded ceiling in the hotel’s iconic Palmehaven Theater.
