Situated on the shores of the Trondheimsfjord, Trondheim is known for its stunning natural beauty, historic architecture and home to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

The city's history dates back over a thousand years, with its founding by Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997 AD. The crown jewel of Trondheim is the Nidaros Cathedral, the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world. It was constructed over the burial site of Saint Olav, the patron saint of Norway, and it continues to be a focal point for cultural and religious gatherings.

Another highlight is the Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) with its iconic red gates, offering picturesque views of the river Nidelva and the historical wharves lining its banks. These colorful, old wooden buildings reflect Trondheim's maritime heritage and add to the city's charming atmosphere.

Trondheim has a vibrant cultural life, hosting several festivals throughout the year, including the Trondheim International Olav Festival, which celebrates the city's patron saint with a variety of events ranging from concerts to historical lectures and guided tours. For those interested in technology and science, a visit to the NTNU's science museum is a must, offering interactive exhibits and insights into Norway's technological advancements and natural history.
