Today, Munkholmen is a popular tourist attraction and recreation site.
Tourism and Recreation
Today, Munkholmen is a popular summertime tourist attraction and hangout for residents of Trondheim. From late May to early September, boats depart from Ravnkloa on a regular basis. Once on the island, visitors can take a guided tour (in English and Norwegian) or roam freely. There's also a small cafe/restaurant available.
