My wife is Norweigan and I am American. We live in Bodo and for a vacation we drove the coatline from Bodo to Oslo and we wer surprised how amazing the drive was. In fact I recorded the entire drive and we watch parts of it from time to time, We are definitely doing it again, If you have done it and you live here its something in my opinion you have to do at least once.
"In my opinion Bergen is the most beautiful city in the world" - This made me crack up, hahaha. I love the bergenser confidence. We need more of that here in Oslo!!
Since I was a small child I’ve always been drawn to Northern Europe. Whether it was northern Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, the Faroe Island or Norway. I don’t know why, they are places I’d never been before. Everyone I knew wanted to go to hot places and I did live in a few of them. I was even born in Gibraltar! But I’ve had a longing my whole life for the north, like it’s home calling me back. It’s so beautiful.
I grew up in a pretty cold place (Germany) but now live in Trondheim after studying here during my BA and meeting my husband here. It's something about Norwegian people and their appreciation for life, nature and family/friend time. Work/life balance here is fantastic, the nature is breath-taking and you don't have to have a high managerial position to be able to have a happy, healthy, comfortable life and to have children. Life passes by more slowly here and I am enjoying every minute. I've yet to meet someone who visited Norway and didn't fall in love with it!
I had the chance to go to Norway when I wore the young man shoes, the landscape is amazing and the people wonderful. I will never forget. Best regards from Montreal Canada.
I'm from Nagaland, Indian, and I've never been out of the country. And while our state's ambience closely resembles to that of North European Countries - except that we don't have sea or ocean near us - I am absolutely fascinated and charmed by the beauty of Norway. Someday, I will surely have a vacation in Norway.
I live in Norway and can tell you it’s the greatest country in the world. You’re always welcome to travel here but remember to come here for the nature and avoid staying too long in the big cities.
@@randomdude8217 City life can be great, but it requires awareness of your own position - the winters are long and dark but can be very enjoyable if done right, urban life can swallow you if you're not aware of all the free recreational opportunities, nightlife can be fantastic but of course it's best with good friends. Grilling in the parks, boat trips, ski trips, road trips, walks, restaurant trips, sauna and bathing.... utopia would be to be able to pack your bags and go on walks for many weeks without needing income :p You can do it but needs planning. India can be very beautiful and has a very diverse geography, topography, environment. One place I definitely want to visit some time, maybe Kashmir or Ladakh or some place along the coast.
As a Norwegian living in southern Trøndelag 120km south of Trondheim, I travelled both south and north when I can, my favorite part of the country is defently the northern Norway. Both nature and people are awesome 24/7 all year long, but summertime with the midnight sun is a energy boost for mind and soul.
As a Norwegian, I'd recommend to visit some more rural places, not just the big cities and travel destinations. My personal favourite is Setesdal, a valley consisting of the municipalities Evje og Hornnes, Bygland, Valle and Bykle. And although I'm from there, it is truly beautiful, both the nature and culture. If visiting in the summer, Bygland and Evje is the best, as they have more stuff to do in the summer. If visiting in the winter, be sure to visit Brokke in Valle and Hovden in Bykle, as they have some awesome skiing resorts. Hovden also has a waterpark for those who likes that :)
A-ha captures the Norwegian nature perfectly in their music. They take me on journeys that no one else can. I'm Norwegian, and have experienced them twice in concert here in Norway. I couldn't be more proud of them!
I would also recommend people to visit Røros, a beautiful town, old mining town with rich history and amazing architecture. Or just in general drive the mountains in the eastern parts of norway, if you love a more mountainous view. if you time it right you might even go for a mountain tour and see moskus, norways version of bison. Also trying the ferry that goes from bergen to kirkenes is a great option if you wanna experience the coasts, fjords and some more unknown and known towns. Visit Norway for a great experience!
What a truly magical place! The beautiful fjords of Norway had long been on my bucket list & I got to visit right before the pandemic hit. Unforgettable cities, enchanting sights, and delicious food!
Been to Norway three times already . Going again this June! I am a drummer and have musical projects there. I love Norway and its friendly and warm citizen, as well as the beautiful nature . Being Swiss , I really appreciate the Norwegian nature !
Great Video, Norway is a beautiful country. Tromso is another breathtaking region, mountains, skiing, hiking and the Northern lights... utterly beautiful.
If you want to go for a overnight hike, sleeping in a tent, you can't find any better than Husedalen, just outside Kinsarvik. You'll be walking up towards Hardangervidda, with some awesome views, and passing 4 incredible waterfalls!
I love all the Scandinavian countries. Great Nature, great people. Norway is a beautiful landscape...mostly mystically and severely vertical in some areas but its wow....just don't try to go out in the forest at night.....the trolls will get you.
Rest is a restaurant concept after my own heart. Never heard of it before, but I grew up in Oslo and have friends and family in and around the city. I'm going to visit all of them this Easter, and I'm definitely going to suggest lunch or dinner at Rest for one of my friends then! These chefs can make just about anything into a mouthwatering meal, and I'm always up for new flavor combinations and inspiration.
Back in the 90'ties i worked a lot on the west coast of Norway, and I worked with German people, and in the evening they asked me to please take them for a trip in my (rental) car, and I asked 'why' because I did not understand, and they said 'because' so we did, and they where sitting in the car laughing while we was driving, i think it was because the roads was so incredibly narrow and winding, and the steep rocks on one side and the fjords on the other side, the west coast of Norway can be pretty crazy, and incredibly beautiful, especially in the spring perhaps, where it could both snow and be sun at the same time, and the snow flakes was shining in the air, and the trees are already greening, and you are driving through the landscape, it is magical
TUSEN TAKK!!! This is EXACTLY what i have been needing ~ a mini tour as i want to bring my twelve year old son, Jens, and myself to Norway this summer!!!! I went to Bergen in 1968, with my grandpa Jens, who is from Bergen and my grandmother, Marit, who was from Christensen (?). Your trip was exactly what i want to do! Lovely. How can i get more information?
Its nice that you have the same name as your grandmother and you have given your son, the same name as your grandfather 🙂 Marit and Jens, two tradiotional Norwegian names. 👍
You probably mean either Kristiansand which is in the south of Norway (my hometown), or Kristiansund which is in the northwest of the country. Bergen is in the west of Norway, so I would not be surprised if your grandmother was from Kristiansund (N) rather than Kristiansand (S), since that is closer to Bergen. Allthough she could of course possibly be from the south as well. But either way, Christensen is a surname, not a place. So it is logical to assume she was from one of these two cities!?!
Just finished watching it! Great video with great content and beautiful scenery, which Norway is full of. Absolutely worth visiting our beautiful country! 🇳🇴🌿😁😉👍🌿🇳🇴
Being from Alaska, I've always wanted to go and explore the Norwegian nature. It appears almost identical. But I still want to for the mysterious histery.
Congratulation to Mr. Bareksten and his awardwinning Gins. Gold Winner in several categories in the 2022 London Spirits Competion!. Best quality, package and gin of the year!
As a Norwegian, I can definitely recommend you to visit Trollstigen and Atlanterhavsveien. I'm from the county of Møre og Romsdal, where the most breathtaking landscape on Earth exists
hey ! my recommendation is to drive along the Randsfjorden to Valdres and see the great forests and stuff there ❤😊😊 i have cabin there and its so idyllic.
I had a terribly stressful day at work today and stumbled across this video while I was winding down for the night. Watching these sights and listening to the host was so relaxing. Thank you, I really enjoyed the video. Hope to visit this enigmatic land some day 💜
I´ve been to Eidsvold in Australia, which has it´s name from Eidsvoll in Norway, close to where I live 😁 Just passed through there, but had to stop to take a pic 😆
O woow! I was camping in few diffrent places on the other side of Norway in 2016. I was fascinated by what I saw, blew my eyes. And this here is woow! And its only en video. I want to travel there...😎🤘
Arne Brimi, hire me as a cook, please :-D I'll be one of your best cooks ever, I promise, at least when I learn Norsk. Well, actually, I did really cook Fiskesuppe many many times. It's been my family's favorite soup since 2014 when I cooked it for the first time. Thank you for the video!
I was born, raised and live in Norway. In other words a full blown Norwegian. Sitting here in Norway right now, watching this video that popped up in my feed. 🌿🇳🇴🌿😁😉😂👍🌿🇳🇴🌿
I'm not Norwegian but I am a member of the sons of norway, they have a lot of good resources for anyone wanting to learn about Norway are perhaps even for travel.
If you want to have the extreme outdoor experience and even more awesome scenery and nature that are showed her come to NORTHEREN Norway :) , The part of Norway he does not show in the video.
Hei, No trip to Norway would be complete without visiting Sognefjord. Flåm railway, Borgund Stave Church , and the Lærdal Tunnel are only a few of the attractions. I spent much of my childhood in Lærdal.
Don't forget about Northern Norway if you're gonna visiti our country. Most tourist guides focus only on Lofoten, North Cape and the Sami people when talking about the northern half of Norway, but we have MUCH MORE to offer. And it's mostly a little cheaper here compared to the southern half. Welcome :)
May I ask that if I’m a tourist from Asia planning solo travel to Norway without any debit or credit cards , just cash , would I be able to find some cafe that accept cash and able to ride bus using cash ?
I would definitely recommend renting a campervan from Benzini Campers in Norway. There is a right to roam free, so you are welcome to camp almost everywhere you want! The freedom in Norway's breathtaking nature gets to another level then.
Allemannsretten (everyman's right) allows you to roam free on uncultivated land and camp there. This right however only applies to hikers and bikers using tents and sleeping bags. It does NOT apply to camper vans. They are still tolerated in most places but as with backpackers and tents, most people just don't know how to behave in nature. It's a pity to see forbidden signs go up all over Norway, Sweden, Finland due to the ignorance of the masses, but I guess it is inevitable and understandable.
I´ve lived here my whole life, not depressed. Quite the opposite actually. Grateful that I live in a safe country with beautiful nature. Clean, fresh air, not much pollution.
