Why Go?
Trondheim,themostnortherlyplaceinNorwaythatmeritsthetitle'city',isthemajordraw.
You'll find fulfilment wandering its medieval streets and quays, savouring its buzzing stu-
dent life and sampling its pretty wharfside restaurants and bars. Dig into its history too as
you visit Nidaros Cathedral, Scandinavia's largest medieval structure, and prowl around the
vast, open-air Sverresborg Trøndelag Folkemuseum.
Trøndelag is a region of rumpled hills, stippled with ox-blood-coloured farmsteads and
ruffled green with wheat and barley. Hay stands out to dry on distinctive long, low trellises
like a line of shaggy yaks in procession, and always there's water near at hand, whether sea,
lake or incised fjord. Amid such rural splendour, atmospheric Stiklestad, famous as the site
of the martyrdom of King Olav (St Olav) and an easy detour from the Arctic Highway, is at
the heart of every Norwegian's sense of national identity.
