One of the largest and most important cities in Norway, Trondheim is a
major economical center, with some of the largest technical and medical
research facilities in Norway. It has been a major city since its first inception as a trading village
back in 997 under the rule of the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, and was
actually the capital of the country until 1217. As such, the city boasts
a long line of Norwegian history going back over the years, adding to
the charm of Trondheim with more than just architectural wonders, but
also plenty of
cultural and historical significance. The Trondheimsfjord, an inlet of
the Norwegian Sea, was an important waterway in the Viking Age, as it is
still today, and is the third longest in Norway. It stretches from
Ørland in the west to Steinkjer in the north, passing the city of
Trondheim on its way, and offering some natural beauty to explore there.
