TRONDHEIM
, an atmospheric city with much of its eighteenth-century centre still intact, has been an important Norwegian power base for centuries, its age-old importance guaranteed by the excellence of its harbour and its position at the head of a wide and fertile valley. The early Norse parliament, or Ting, met here, and the city was once a major pilgrimage centre. The city centre sits on a small triangle of land, a pocket-sized area where the main sights - bar the marvellous cathedral - have an amiable low-key quality about them. Trondheim also possesses a clutch of good restaurants and a string of busy bars. Other useful information
