This is the student city from the inside. You start in the Marinen park by the Nidelva and cross to Studentersamfundet, the round red house where students have held concerts, debates and the UKA festival since 1929. Then you walk through Høgskoleparken up to the Main Building, which NTH moved into in 1910. The walk ends at Singsaker student hall, five minutes from Kristiansten Fortress. Everything is free.
