Neutron stars have been a remarkable setting for problems of condensed matter physics off the beaten track. In this talk I will review intersections of condensed matter and nuclear physics in neutron star interiors, e.g., neutron and proton superfluidity; the sudden speedups of pulsars (glitches) and their relation to pinning and unpinning of vortices to nuclei in the stellar crusts; unusual ``pasta" phases of nuclei; and attempts to understand matter at densities beyond the density of matter inside normal nuclei, where one begins possibly to encounter Bose-Einstein condensates of π and K mesons, as well as quark matter, both normal and superconducting. I will also describe how trying to understand the physics of matter under extreme conditions of pressure and density has led to insights into condensed matter physics in more familiar settings, e.g., from possible Tkachenko modes of the vortices in the neutron superfluids, to the hydrodynamics of rotating superfluid ^4He, to Tkachenko modes in trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.
