Lade
If the weather is nice and the fjord is warm, the best swimming spots are found east of the city. The Lade area contains a footpath along the fjord, which passes many of the best swimming spots. Bus 3 to Strandveikaia, then walk along the industrially-looking road to the left... and you'll find beauty soon! Also, the Rotvoll/Ranheim-area further out is brilliant for sunbathing and swimming. Bus 6 to Rotvoll or longer, or local train to Rotvoll station
skiing at Vassfjellet
Go skiing at Vassfjellet (http://www.vassfjellet.com/) just outside Trondheim, in the season there's a bus service from Munkegata, and a Ski Shop (http://www.vassfjellet.no/) with ski and snowboard rental service.
If you're looking for work check out the website of the governmental agency NAV (http://www.nav.no). Tech industry boom; Yahoo's arrived & there's other start-ups. If you are truly impressive in this field they'll pay for your move and process your work visa. But you have to excell in your field; if there's a Norwegian that can do your job, they'll get it not you.
St. Olav Festival
Every year in the end of July and the beginning of August, you can visit the St. Olav Festival (http://www.olavsfestdagene.no/). The festival is a celebration of Olav Haraldsson, who attempted to christianise Norway. The festivals programme consists of both religious contributions, like masses for pilgrimages in the Nidaros cathedral and cultural festivities like concerts, Middle-Age-plays, lectures, exhibitions and many other activities.
Kristiansten Fortress
Have a walk in the Kristiansten Fortress-areakristiansen Fortress, overlooking the city. If you can't be bothered with the hills, get bus 63 to Ankersgata, or rent a bike and use the bike lift!
Cross-country skiing is popular november-april with hundreds of km tracks in Bymarka and Estenstadmarka. You can rent skis at Skistua in Bymarka, bus 10.
nightlife
Check out Trondheim's bustling nightlife. During term time, the students make the nightlife rocking all week, and skyrocketing in weekends. Check the "Drink" section for more.
swim
Have a swim in the modern Pirbadet (http://www.pirbadet.no/) swimming pool, a magnificent water palace just by the sea, but definitely warmer! Bus 46 or 52 to Pirterminalen, end station
swim
Have a even cooler swim in the sjøbadet, a tiny little, but very cosy beach that consists of not much more than a wooden diving tower. It gains its uniqueness through its location, right to the left behind the central trainstation, in the area of harbor and industries. Don't worry, it's the cleanest water in the world!
Hell Station
Take the local train to Hell Station and get a photo of yourself. If you can't be bothered going there, you can still buy a one-way ticket to Hell from Central Station... for that special someone.
