Europe

Norway is unique in more ways than one: for a start, it’s the northernmost country in Europe, with the smallest density in the continent. It also holds number one place in the world in Human Development Index.Norway’s not just a country boasting the highest quality of life, though, it’s also one that’s fantastic to travel! A trip to Norway is like entering the home of Mother Nature herself. Sea and mountain have joined forces to form sublime landscapes:Natural Parks, lakes, glaciers, forests, and stunning fjords. Norway is a country whose scenery changes with the seasons:in summer, prepare for days that go on forever, and a glowing sun that shines even at midnight… In winter, Nature puts on its white jacket and the snow sports begin. It’s also the season during which the Northern Lights are at their most spectacular. Frankly, this ethereal phenomenon alone is worth making the trip! Conveniently, Norway is also&nbsp;an ideal destination for a family trip: what child wouldn’t want to take a visit to the homeland of Father Christmas?

Trondheim's sizemakes it a town full of contrasts. At the end of the promenade I found some large, colourful, wooden buildings, ruined monasteries, the fish market, and warehouses along the quays... I enjoyed standing on the old bridge and watching the little boats. I found Nidaros Cathedral a but sombre but it's worth a visit because it's where Norway's sovereigns were crowned. You can go up on the roof with a guide which is worth it. I also visited the Archbishop's Palace, a testament to Norway's religious history. It has some archaeological remains. The building itself is a very well preserved and imposing monument. The citadel is also well preserved but is nothing special compared to the rest of the town where you can't stop admiring the colourful houses on stilts, especially on the banks of the river.

Depending on how long you plan to spend in Trondheim, you shouldn't have time to get bored. Because it is one of the oldest cities in Norway, it's packed with history and places to visit. You'll soon see that the city has a high student population which gives it a youthful feel, particularly once night falls. My favourite experience in this part of my <a href="/norway/">stay in Norway</a> was without a doubt the islands off the coast of Trondheim: Munkholmen. The weather was hot and sunny and we were able to go swimming off the coast of the islands - no kidding! Other travellers staying at our youth hostel told us about the start of the 'Sant Olav’s Festival' celebrations. It was a great evening with concerts, beer at affordable prices and loads of people enjoying the summer nights. We also had really good food. Trondheim has good local beers and the police don't hassle you if you have a drink or two in the city's parks.

Trondheim represents the urban lifestyle combined with a good nightlife and all kinds of places to visit during the day.
