Trøndelag occupies a broad coastal and inland region in central Norway. Trondheim Fjord reaches deep into the land, linking farming districts, wooded hills and settlements around Trondheim, the region’s historic and cultural centre. The city was an important medieval pilgrimage destination and is home to Nidaros Cathedral, Norway’s national sanctuary and one of the country’s foremost Gothic monuments. Farther inland, valleys and upland areas lead towards the Scandinavian Mountains, while the coast breaks into islands, channels and sheltered bays.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age.

Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
