    Such a beautiful city. I wish I had seen it before I went. I'm from Seattle, and Bergen felt a lot like home. Makes sense that they are sister cities

      Yes, they have much in common. Glad you got to visit!

    Thanks for the video.... Last summer we went to Bergen and only visited the centre where all the big boats are, we thought it was very touristic. But now that you have shown us the other side of Bergen we are defenitely coming back! ....

    Hello Pål, your captivating videos showcasing the beauty of your country are truly impressive. My wife and I are embarking on a road trip from the UK to Hamburg, then onwards to Kristiansand, Stavanger, Bergen, Flåm, Oslo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, and finally back to the UK via the Netherlands.
    Your insights have been invaluable in our planning process. Thank you once again for your assistance.

    I didn't realize Bergen is a sister city to mine! I'll definitely have to visit the totem pole while there next summer.
    I love your videos - they're so helpful, and I love knowing the Norwegian pronunciation for a lot of these places I'm researching.

    •  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thank you! I hope you get to see the totem pole next summer :D

    @twelvesmylimit Před 6 měsíci +2

    Ahh, we went there when visiting Norway in 2019. Unfortunately, we were both ill with some cold virus and felt dreadful, so didn't do as much as we'd hoped but still managed the main 'must see' things, I think.

    •  Před 6 měsíci

      Being sick on vacation sucks! But glad you still managed to experience some of the main must sees!

    What a terrific video!! Thank you for the insights into some places we didn't know of. And the Stoltzekleiven hike looked fantastic. We will be visiting and staying in Bergen in September, we will certainly visit everything you pointed out in this video. Hoping it won't be too crowded in September!

    •  Před 4 měsíci

      That's great, thanks for watching the episode! If it is crowded or not usually depends if there are many cruise ships in town, but September is typically not the high season. All the best and enjoy Norway

    Just got back from Bergen myself. Well about 2 months ago and loved it! I even went to that same cafe and its the best. Also, had a reindeer hotdog from that same spot. I wish I knew about some of those other spots you visited. Dang. Maybe next time.

    This is the place my great great great grandparents left from Norway 🇳🇴 to America in 1860.
    They traveled from Osvåg Etne to Bergen. Then arrived in New York. After that they traveled to Iowa and ran a farm. They had several children who then had a lot of grandchildren.
    The grandchildren went to 4 different parts of America. That is California, Montana, Arizona, and Texas.
    Most of the family became very successful and to this day they own several businesses and make far above the national average.
    I still have family who live in Osvåg Norway 🇳🇴 and we keep in touch via Facebook.

    Hi Pal, We loved our visit to Bergen and your show was a fun reminder. We have a few more things to do the next time. Question - how did you get down the rocky climb after sunset.? Looked a bit rough for a dark walk.

    •  Před 6 měsíci

      Hi Roberta! We walked down and used the flashlight on our cell phones to see the path 😅 not optimal, but it became quite an adventure!

  • @cottonlog
    @cottonlog Před 2 měsíci +1

    Okay We will follow your steps when we are in Bergen. But we will need some thoughts about hiking as my knees are weak. Is it still beautiful if we walk up there in the morning?

    •  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hi there! If you have weak knees I would rather recommend the hike up to Mount Fløien. Or take the funicular up and hike down again. Enjoy!

    That was a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge with us. Bergen is definitely a must see. How did you get back down? Are the stairs lighted up or is it in darkness at night. Does reindeer taste different than beef?

    •  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Thanks Alex! We walked down again, and used the flashlight on our phones to navigate all the steps..hehe
      Reindeer is pretty lean meat, a bit more "wild" flavor than beef, but to be honest not a huge difference

      Yes they do have a lot of rainy days, but what is counted as a rainy day can mean rain in the morning and sun in the afternoon. To be honest I've had a lot of nice weather in Bergen, and I don't think it quite lives up to its rainy reputation

    Would a rental scooter 🛴 get me to the trail head (the start of the hike)?

    •  Před 8 dny +1

      Yes it should, just check that there is a parking nearby. Or a rental bike, there is a rack nearby
