Tyholttarnet

About

Tyholttårnet, standing 124 m tall in Trondheim, Norway, is a landmark radio tower that doubles as a popular sightseeing destination. Completed in 1985, the tower blends functional broadcast infrastructure with striking modern design. Its most visited features are the open‑air observation deck at 74 m and the Egon revolving restaurant, which completes one full rotation per hour and serves a menu of Norwegian and international cuisine while offering diners a 360° panorama of Trondheim and its fjords. The tower’s steel lattice structure serves as a powerful communications hub, yet the public areas – especially the observation deck and the rotating restaurant – have become cultural icons. Visitors can take an elevator to the observation deck, pause for photographs, and then descend for a dinner or coffee at the restaurant, where chefs work alongside the rotating platform that brings the city into view. The combination of engineering, food, and views makes Tyholttårnet a must‑visit attraction for both locals and travelers exploring central Norway. The site is managed by the municipal utility company in partnership with Trondheim city council, ensuring that the tower’s facilities are maintained to high safety standards while keeping the visitor experience smooth and enjoyable year‑round. Whether you’re looking for spectacular skyline photography or a unique dining experience, Tyholttårnet offers a quintessential Trondheim highlight that appeals to families, photographers, and food lovers alike.
