Me and Trondheim

Trondheim must be a very cold place for someone who grew up in a warm country. Snow everywhere with a strong cold wind blowing all the time and we have to wear like an Eskimo living in the North Pole. In fact, it is not. Trondheim, actually, is quite a pretty place to visit during summer and autumn. It is the third largest city in Norway, is situated in the county of Sør-Trøndelag where the river Nidelva meets a large fjord called Trondheimsfjorden and has around 156,000 inhabitants according to the survey in 2005.

Living in the basement is not a good experience especially in the winter. When November turned in and the day got bright late in the morning, the live in basement became a little dull. Here, in the winter, the sun rises at around 10:00, sets at around 14:30 and stays just above the horizon. The winter temperature can drop below -5 to -20 degree Celsius. In the summer, it has a very short night as the sun rises at around 03:00 and sets at around 23:40 and the temperature varies from 10 to 25 degree Celsius.

Here you can visit Nidaros Cathedral, Archbishop’s Palace, the NTNU University, the old town bridge, the view of the river Nidelva, Kristiansten Fortress, Ringve National Museum of music and musical instruments, statue of Olav Tryggvason in the city’s central plaza.
