Trondheim is Norway's third city, built along a bend of the Nidelva river where Nidaros Cathedral, the country's largest medieval church and a historic pilgrimage site, anchors the old centre. Bakklandet's colourful wooden warehouses and a large student population from NTNU keep the riverside quarter lively.
