Trondheim

Trondheim extends along a fjord coastline with wide streets arranged in a grid pattern, featuring colorful wooden buildings and numerous bridges crossing the Nidelva River.

King Olav Tryggvason established Trondheim in 997 as a Viking trading settlement, serving as Norway's capital until 1217 and maintaining its status as a religious center.

The Nidaros Cathedral, constructed from 1070, stands as the northernmost medieval cathedral, incorporating intricate stone carvings and architectural details from various periods.

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology campus integrates with the city center, connecting students to research facilities, libraries, and public transportation networks.

The Bakklandet district preserves rows of restored wooden houses from the 1800s, now containing workshops, small stores, and residential spaces along cobblestone streets.
