The controversial and fascinating history, the eclectic underground scene, the breath-taking monuments, and picturesque back allies, all of them move my heart in a way that keeps me coming back for more. I knew that… Read More
Trondheim is a perfect example of Scandinavian charm right up to the snow dusted streets, the red and yellow houses, and the cobblestone shopping streets.
