I recently got my Norwegian citizenship! So proud to be a part of this beautiful countries society ❤️
Congratulations! :)
Enjoy the summer and 17. mai fast approaching!
Enhorabuena! Yo tb me hice noruego:)
Is norsk your third language?
"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!!
As a Norwegian the bergenser accent was easily heard 😀
@@erik9201 same! 😄
The truth can be painful ! 😁
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.
As a Norwegian myself, I will highly recommend going to the northern end of the country too. There is just so much to see
One day i will finally visit your beautiful country. I cannot bare in mind of leaving the world without seeing such beauty.
I went to Norway once, it was just breathtakingly beautiful. I've traveled a lot but nothing came close to making my jaw drop
Norway is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever visited.
Jeg elsker Norge!
where in Norway were you? :D
Hyggelig at du besøkte landet vårt!
Where?🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Welcome to Norway🇳🇴😊
Past lives calling
You described my every thought I had since I was 12 years old, and I'm from Greece.
By that description alone, you may be Norwegian. Welcome!
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'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.
Fell in love with Norway.
Naeroyfjord and hjorundfjord, Gudvangen and Urke
My favourite ones.
Greetings from Poland
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.
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 :)
The Coffee/Cake Shop in Evje on the corner as you come in is awesome. Had a great time in the area up at Bjørndalen.
@@Matt-vo1ge oooh yes, SpiseKroken? Love the pizzabuns and the donuts!
@@RealSolli that's the one! The cakes are amazing. We ate there every day after a cross country ski without fail.
@@Matt-vo1ge Yes! I'm not very often at Evje, but when I am, I always have to go inside to get something!
I've been to Norway 4 times in the military. I'm from Texas but I love it so much. Just beautiful.
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 !
The man really isn't lying about the gin, he is some sort of alcohol alchemist. Not just a one-trick pony either, his aquavit is excellent too!
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!
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 like the detail of playing In the hall of The Mountain King by Grieg at 6:20
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.
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!
It is truly a magical place
wow! we love this! Thank you, Lonely Planet!
I love a-ha and i would love someday to see them in their homeland beautiful Norway
Ooooooh my soul longs for that place
Your welcome to come anytime 😊
Greetings from Norway.
Same.

We would like to see more restaurants. Also more of the sculpture park
Lovely. One whole side of my family came from the Gudbrandsdalen region (Skjåk) a generation ago...so it's nice to see what the area looks like.
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!
This is beautifull fantastic...i will bring my little family and heading to explore Norway...amazing Folk!!
I'm pining for the fjords 🇳🇴
Beautiful gorgeous animals.
this showed just a tip of the iceberg, and a great guide in our fantastic land of Norway
Beautiful place, beautiful people!
Jeg elsker Norge! 🥰
I was at all three places, and I miss Norway dearly! 🇳🇴❤😔
Wawooo
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.
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
Such a beautiful place!
Just finished watching it! Great video with great content and beautiful scenery, which Norway is full of. Absolutely worth visiting our beautiful country! 🇳🇴🌿😁😉👍🌿🇳🇴
Great Video, Norway is a beautiful country. Tromso is another breathtaking region, mountains, skiing, hiking and the Northern lights... utterly beautiful.
- So beautifully made video also! Im In love of Norway already! Can't wait to visit, saludos desde México
I love hiking, so the hiking trails would interest me. Thank you for the video 👍
I will be there in June - can't wait!!!
so lovely and enchanting overview
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.
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.
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 💜
awesome video. high video and audio quality, very very nice content showing the nature and landscape. Ty for you job.
Norway is just wow 😯😍🇳🇴❤️
such a beautiful place would love to visit one day
Excellent video ……. And excellent Gin! Definitely a favourite!! 👍👍
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?
Try Visit Norway,and Christensen is a surname,not a place
You probably mean Kristiansand
It could be either Kristiansand in the south of Norway or Kristiansund on the west coast.
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!?!
Oh my... this... this is amazing. I NEED TO GO HERE!!!!!!
Thanks for the great video. Love from Palestine
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
Beautiful! :)
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!
Thumbs up 👍Great video 👏😁
Beautiful Norway
Makes me want to pack me bags immediately ♥️
Thank you!
And: I’m in love with the music, anyone knows the name of the track at 0:21 ?
Beautiful
Amazing 💯
I love the music
I'm moving to Vestland on August, can't wait
STIG!!! You rock, brother!
amazing
Bravo! Beautiful! Homages! ⚡⚡⚡ JAR
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...😎🤘
One day i will visit Norway. Hope so
I see so much negativity about Norway 🇳🇴 but it’s so beautiful I can’t wait until one day I can visit there
Hi from Australia. I believe my ancestors were from Norway
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 😆
Heiii I love the interior design of your place
Authentic, I like you.
On our way in 19 days!
Jag gillar Norge väldigt mycket (trots att jag är svensk haha)!
I already feel a big gap in me since I dont live in Trondheim anymore.. I miss it more then my real home in germany :/
Visiting this summer for a month but don't think I'll be visiting many restaurants !
7:57 I guess this is one of the best things i have heard in my life 😂
Wow wild blueberries
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.
I hope I can move there one day.
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.
Sons of norway? What is that, some kind of club?
Are you familiar with the TV show Alt For Norge? If not, check it out. The first seven seasons are available here on CZcams.
Hei fin video.
I wish to stay and live in Norway
Please do an episode of the Valdtrs Valley.
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.
❤️
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 ?
Best neighbor
Thank you, Finland. It's good Finland is a peaceful country.
How many hours travelling/driving In this journey?? Also amazing video wow!
Just the driving. I'd say between Bergen and Trondheim (with his detour) about 13-15 hrs. From Trondheim to Oslo, he is taking an even bigger more scenic detour so at least 15hrs+ I'd recon. Usually you can drive the fast boring route to Oslo in 7hrs. I'd plan at least a week for the whole trip. More of you'd like to hang out in the cities or cabins for longer.
@@jespervesen8829 what would be a scenic Route from Trondheim to Oslo? :)
@@jespervesen8829 nå er jeg usikker på hvilken vei du tok? For sist gang jeg kjørte var det ca 6-7 timer for den korte veien, 8 timer ca for den lengre, fine veien
I visit Norway just for the brown cheese. Easiest country to camp in ?
Want to move to Norway next year but I don't know if it will be easy for me
Norge 🇳🇴❤️
This is one of those places I feel like I belong
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 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.
@@ck1977one It doesn't make any difference between tent or campervan. You don't have the correct information.
very good plase
My relatives that I don't know....my great grandfather came from Norway and he founded Yankton South Dakota USA
2:50, please let me know where is it exactly?
Did i just hear «fantastic mat» 02.42
Aku suka norway
How come you drove past Aalesund ?
It was probably full of tourists already.
Seems like Norway ends at Trondheim. Thought it went further north....
But i guess i was wrong...
You left out the best part of Norway: Nordland!
