Although not very large when compared to other European cities like London or Paris, Trondheim is actually the third biggest city in Norway. The heavy presence of students in Trondheim means that there is a large cultural scene, with a lot of restaurants, nightlife, festivals, and music. There is a huge presence of local food and drink here, with lots of locally brewed beer and restaurants that pair these beers with special meals. In Trondheim, there are art museums, history museums, and even the Rockheim, which is a museum devoted to the development of pop music in Norway. It's also an incredibly historic city, with the Nidarosdomen cathedral, which was first built in the year 1070.
