Trondheim's 25,000 university students stage this three-
week celebration, Norway's largest cultural festival. Every other year in October and
November, it's a continuous party with concerts, plays and other festivities based at the
round, red Studentersamfundet (Student Centre). It's next due to take the city by storm in
2011.

This mastodon of a hotel with nearly 250 rooms
was constructed in 1897. It exudes old-world grace from the mellow, wooden panelling of
public areas to the magnificent oval Moorish-revival
Palmehaven restaurant
- but one of
three places to eat - with its Corinthian pillars and central fountain. The hotel's the perfect
place to relax or, should you so wish, to exert yourself in the brand new sauna and mini-
gym.

All 43 rooms at this venerable hotel are spacious. They were
decorated and fundamentally renovated, with fresh beds and furniture, in 2006 following a
major fire in the adjacent building. Those on the 7th (top) floor have huge skylights giving
broad city views.

Two of Trondheim's finest hotels stare across the street at each
other in perpetual competition. The Clarion offers sleek luxurious living above an airy
shopping complex and the Olavshallen concert hall. It has 27 different styles among more
than 100 rooms, so no guest can complain of lack of choice.
