The city of the 'midnight
sun', Trondheim is a renowned mediaeval university city and is situated by
the largest fjord in Norway. There are two main areas of the city. One is
the triangular central district, rich in cultural and architectural
monuments. The other is the western district with the greenery of the
Bymarca area, popular with university students and a centre of music,
theatre and alternative arts.
The main city square is Torvat, which features a market and a monument to
the Viking king, Olaf, who converted his people to Christianity. It is also
a focal point for civic meetings. A series of magnificent buildings surround
the square, including the majestic 12th Century, stone-built Gothic
Cathedral. The Cathedral is considered by art historians to one of the most
beautiful churches in Scandinavia and one of the few in northern Europe to
compete with those of France and Italy. The entertaining Museum of Applied
Arts, the so-called Folk Museum, includes contemporary and extravagant
craftworks.
Trondheim's cuisine includes typical Norwegian specialities such as salmon
and trout, pork and lamb, as well as the popular smorrebrod sandwich.
