Trondheim is Norway's third biggest city, and one of the oldest cities in Scandinavia. The city has more than a thousand years’ experience in receiving guests. Founded by King Olav Tryggvason of Viking fame in 997, Trondheim holds a special place in Norwegian history and culture. It was the first capital of Norway, and still is the city where kings receive their ceremonial blessing. Situated by the Trondheim Fjord, it is surrounded by lovely forested hills, with the Nidelva river winding through the city.
