trondheim

I recently came home after visiting Trondheim. I love beeing there :) Trondheim is Norway's 3rd largest city with 170,000 inhabitants, and in addition to that about 25.000 students lives there.

 

The city was allegedly founded by Olav Tryggvason in 997. As Trondheim is an old city, many of the buildings in the city are built of wood. The city has been devastated by several fires, but still has many of the old wooden buildings, which makes the city so charming.

 

Trondheim is often called Norway's Technology Capital. NTNU (Norwegian University of Science) has a national responsibility for education and research in technology. The climate in Trondheim is very varying because the city lies between the cold polar air to the north and the warmer air currents in the south. Mainly the climate is mild and humid, and it often happens that one's in the sunlight while it is raining at the same time. The winter is mild.
