Duty free in Terminal B is the main tax-free stop
Just past security in Terminal B, Duty Free sits on the direct path to both Schengen and non-Schengen gates, so you basically walk through it on the way to boarding. For an airport the size of Trondheim Værnes, the range feels larger than expected, with shelves of spirits, wine, perfume, cosmetics, and the usual travel retail snacks.
Alcohol selection leans Nordic, with aquavit and local Norwegian brands alongside big international labels in 1L and 0.7L bottles. Prices track typical Norwegian duty free levels, meaning noticeably cheaper than downtown Trondheim or regular tax-paid shops. If you want anything specific for home, buy it here rather than hoping for a better deal on arrival.
Perfume and cosmetics cover the standard mid- to high-end brands you’d see at larger Scandinavian airports, though not every shade or product line makes it to TRD. Expect regular multipack offers on skincare and makeup, plus gift sets that work as last-minute presents if you’re short on time before an evening departure. Staff usually handle quick price checks in English or Norwegian.
Souvenirs skew towards edible gifts: Norwegian chocolate, licorice, and seasonal tins, plus some branded mugs and small items that fit easily into a cabin bag. Since this is after security in Terminal B, you can buy liquids over 100 ml without worrying about screening, but still keep an eye on your airline’s hand luggage allowance.
Tip: If your gate is at the far end of Terminal B, walk through Duty Free on arrival at security and note prices first; you can loop back in under 5 minutes if you decide to buy.
