24 Hours in Oslo, Norway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2019
- Oslo, Norway - Our final stop of the Norway travel adventure lands us in Oslo, where we have 24 hours to find the best things to do in Oslo.
This is what I found for the best things to do in Oslo in just one day...
Haralds Vaffel - Waffles are THE signature breakfast in Norway, and the Norwegian style is thinner than their Belgium counterpart.
Unlike in this States where we eat them with maple syrup, here in Norway traditionally toppings include a type of sour cream, jam and of course, brown cheese.
Magallan Oslo - Mathallen Oslo is inspired by the great food courts of Europe. Here you can find specialty shops, cafés and a ton of places to eat.
Most stalls are on-par with the higher end of Norwegian prices, so if you’re on a budget, your best bet is to try something international.
My plan however is to stick with Norwegian dishes while I’m here so I convince a local restaurant to cook me some cod cheeks I pick up from a neighboring fish monger.
KOK Oslo - Usually you have to reserve the entire cabin in advance, but there are communal time lots where you can just show up and experience the floating sauna with strangers - and that’s exactly what I did. The only thing is, on this day, nobody else showed up.
I get a rundown on the rules and information from a manager, and then I just get to hang out for two hours.
Norway vs Sweden European Championship - for this one, you just have to get lucky with timing.
This is how I spent one day in Oslo, and these are the best things to do in Oslo (in my opinion and experience) - What else would you recommend?

TRAVEL DEEPER.
Thanks for watching everyone! If you have any questions, check the video description for my most popular links, or just come say hello on Instagram - instagram.com/tourist2townie
Well.. we dont eat all of that on the vaffel all at the same time. Hm.. Rømme on vaffel is a no no. But its awsome to put sour cream in the vaffel doe. :) makes very spes vafler.
CLOSE THE DOOR WHEN YOU LEAVE THE SAUNA!
Gareth does it get dark at night in Oslo cardi b just did a live saying it's always bright there did u experience that I saw when the sun went down but is that it at night
Cali gurl Hi! In the summer in Oslo, the sun goes down just a few hours. It newer goes real dark at night. But in the winter, it’s the other way around. The sun sets 15:30 in the afternoon. ☃️
I live in Oslo for many Years it nice to see it fro Yours perspective! :)
"Waffles are the signature breakfast in Norway" - No. No, they are not. I wouldn't protest if they were, though.
True, I though the same
Very interesting you say that, throughout my very short time in Norway, that’s all anyone ever talked about... I must have been told to eat waffles for breakfast at least 30 times via IG messages 🤔 but I respect your opinion and apologize for any confusion or misinformation
Gareth Leonard Waffles are what is always offered anytime someone comes to visit. Friend over? Have some waffles. Family visiting from out of town? Waffles. The more signature breakfasts most Norwegians have is toast or English muffins with something on top, be it just butter, jam, salmon, brunost, etc. That’s going to be the most common in-home breakfast you’ll find ^^
@@GarethLeonard Its more of a dessert type of food you have when you want to treat yourself
I have never had waffles for breakfest, nor have I ever heard of it. I'm from Oslo though and I can't speak for the whole country. In my family we usually have them for lunch. It's kind of a mid-day snack. I also eat a lot of them every time I go skiing. There are tons of cross country ski tracks in the surrounding forests of Oslo, and along the ski tracks you'll find little and big forest huts serving the craziest waffles.
«Waffles is the signature breakfast in Norway». I’m norwegian and have never heard of anyone eating waffles for breakfast.
maybe you were born under a rock then 😒
Me neither. Like no one I know of, eats waffles for breakfast
Sivert Solheim your not the only Norwegian here. Im Norwegian too
we eat waffles for breakfast ones every week at my workplace
Yeah, I've spent a lot of time in Norway and none of my friends there ate waffles for breakfast. More like porridge, bread or cereal and some coffee
Traditional Norwegian breakfast is bread slices with cheese, ham, makrell i tomat, leverpostei or whatever. Waffles are a popular dessert, especially when something happens, some sort of arrangement. 😄👍🏼
Its funny to see you come to Norway and try the Narvesen sausage, something us locals never consider anything but a low grade standard sausage that you get if literally everything else is closed. Makes me want to appreciate it more!
Thanks for these Norway videos, and your interest in our culture, they really make me feel nostalgic about being a Norwegian!
Whaaaat narvesen has open 24h where you live. I usely go to 7-eleven/ whatever company they are braned with now
I always buy sausage in Narvesen. Most Norsk people like it.
@@mar754 Good for you. Your tastebuds cater to the basics.
@ಠ_ಠ Exactly! Except its the opposite of "fast". God knows how long that sausage has been there..
hi mate... glad to see new video again & the place of Oslo is filled with kinda relaxing, goofing in life & enjoying fine dining foods here, delicate & 100% fresh direct from sea... healthy & organic w/o air contamination.
Love the place of Oslo, love you guy...
Stay cool & cozy always... cheers
2:30 LOL! Awesome video, you really captured the city.
Waffles are not a signature breakfast in Norway. They are not even considered as breakfast, but as a dessert. Also, the store is a kiosk, not a convenience store :)
why are you so pedantic? do you feel superior now that you have pointed out the mistakes? people like you are just the pits!! 😒
@@jellibear2011 I was not trying to be pedantic and nor was I trying to be superior. I am very sorry if it came out that way! It can be difficult to interpret conversations on the Internet, so that's why I added a smiley face at the end of my comment :) Breakfast is an important subject when talking about culture, so I thought it would be worth mentioning. It was a great video!
@@sebastianplaum4667 I am not being negative - in fact I am usually a very happy and cheerful person but somehow that changes when I start reading comments on UA-cam - people act all superior and then when they are confronted they become defensive and act all innocent - as if a smiley face after a nasty comment somehow makes it all better?
@@ExploringtheNordics you should learn that it's not WHAT you say but HOW you say it. If you are struggling to interpret conversations on the internet then ask someone to help you or send the person who posted the video a direct message and ask for clarification. and NO, a smiley face after a nasty comment DOESN'T make it all better 😒
It looked like a convenience store to me. A kiosk is like where he got the waffle.
Hi Gareth i love your travel videos. Hope you continue to inspire us small youtubers. More power!!
This is amazing !! Once again you nailed this VLOG!
I was just in Oslo last weekend for the 17 May celebrations!
Is it true tht it dont get dark there
@@prodigyproduction3887 up north yes, but only in summer
That waffle looks delectable and that hot dog is massive. wouldn't dare though dipping to that icy cold water. Such fun watching your video.
Awesome video, Gareth! Looks like you had a lot of fun! Glad you liked Oslo as much as we do! 🙂🙌
So good - thanks for your Norway videos!!! ♥️🇳🇴
Traci Thomas hello mrs Traci
Love the music for the video. Great guide too.
This is a very interesting city, I hope I can visit again sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!
I was wondering when the next adventure will be post... Lolzz, you're insane to dive into that cold water... Keep posting... 😉😀❤️
kok (the name of the sauna) means boil. Great video, you captured many great parts of Oslo!
Great video as usally❤️ love from norway🇳🇴
Gotta love Haralds vaffel, used to live nearby to the place he sold it out of the window.
Cool floating sauna! 🧖♂️ 🧖♀️ wanna try those waffles! Yuumm
I have never wanted a bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed hot dog from a convenience store as much as I do after watching this video!
Last part was hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
singature breakfast in norway is like oatmeals/semi.-healthy cerreal, bread with eggs, cheese, ham or something like that with milk.
Nooo
@@TorbisINACTIVE eh yes. Come with an alternativ then dickhead 😅 im norwegian
Your oh yeah always makes me smile:) such beautiful place, always love the food part, I think I want to move to Norway, love saunas, I had one growing up, I sure miss it, we had eucalyptus trees & used the leaves as incense in it
Saunas? That would be Finland.
Courage dive into this cold water! I felt cold here! Hahahahahaha
Gareth returns soon to Brazil!!! 🇧🇷
Abraços do Rio de Janeiro para você! 😊🤗
i really enjoy to watch u coz your a real man
Gareth, You're pretty brave with that cold water. I envy you. LoL 😂
Noticed that little extra tug you made as you were escaping the fjord at 6:25. The cold must have made an scary impact.
Definitely want to try this when I go
Nice video is my dream to live in Oslo I think I'm going to make it this year yeah!! 🇳🇴 And you so handsome 🙌
Wow.wish i can visit there someday love Norway so much 👍👍👍
Thanks for a great review of our capital, Oslo. If you visit us in the summer, the water is not too cold. Between 18-23°C (64-75°F).
Love from Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴
I will be sure to come back in the summer next time! 🥶
it's funny to see you video about food because it's make me feel hungry .it's very cool enjoy life interesting for food
Fantastic video!
Nice video ❤️ and beautiful place
Waffels are definitely not a traditional breakfast in Norway, but good that you got do see and do some of the less "tourist" things in Oslo :)
The most tourist thing to do in Oslo is to leave for some other place with beauty and soul :D
Looking very very nice...Enjioy!!!
that waffle looks delicious 🤤
In the Philippines there is a spa place where they mimic the cold water of the fjord actually a pool and nearby is a sauna. You might have seen it...Ace water spa. The hotdog looks to die for! How does it taste?
Spent 5 days in Oslo in October 2018. Loved the city. So many memorable things to see. What a shame all you did was eat and go to a Sauna. The Nobel Prize Museum, The Norwegian Resistance Museum, The Museum of Art to see The Scream by Munch, The Viking Ship Museum so many others. Also, Holy Cow for excellent Indian street food.
Waffel, waffel, waffel, everyone make some mistakes, and it was much fun to see in this video.
Wow. Love your video. I live in Oslo
Great editing!
That waffle looks so good! 😍
Great Video! Did you know Norway is one of the most Happy place on Earth? now I know lol wish I was there to experience that.
The video is perfect!
"The water's great!" Meanwhile at 7:02 a man appears with a frowny face on his back from his dip in the Fjords. ngl, Would still totally do it anyway. xD I look forward to studying in Norway!
When it Comes to breakfast , i rarely eat waffles, i cant remember last time i ate waffles ?? 🤔 usually eat bread or buns for breakfast 😂🙈
Wowowowo that fish dish looks so niceee, but 300 kroner???!? Thats expensive
Btw, i like how you pronounce Mathallen. It’s mat-hallen , and literally means «food hall»
Awesome buddy!😉
You should check out the village just outside Oslo. I went there today and even made a video on UA-cam about the place.
❤Love you guys!❤
Awesome ..nice vlog
So funny that many comments about waffles. Hahahaha. A new fan from Thailand! ✌️✌️
I love waffles , thats looks really good
The biggest signature breakfast in Norway is oatmeal by far. Never heard of anyone eating waffles for breakfast.
I would actually argue bread beats oatmeal by far
Not true. Bread with whatever condiments you prefer is a typical Norwegian breakfast. Actual the traditional norm. Only recent years oats etc. has become more popular, and common. I should know I grew up here, and live here still.
There's something fun about how Norway has such a reputation of the fjords and all of that, that people seem to just call Norwegian waters for fjords. Like... that's just the ocean.
Nice video!
Amazing 😍
When I was in Oslo I only had like 4 hours. Way too short, but we did see a military helicopter land at the Royal Palace. I tried filming it, but it flew directly above me and the wind nearly swept me off my feet, lol (I was standing on the street, and it was well above me. Just in case anyone is wondering why I got so close to a military helicopter in the first place). And we got to see the Akershus Fortress, which is a pretty cool place.
I hope I can return to Oslo this year. I am even learning norwegian now, maybe I can order food på norsk by the time I get back. It would be pretty cool.
Awww I miss Mathallen so much!! You're right - it's more international food there - but it's well done. There's great food in Oslo. Can't believe you didn't grab a chicken burger across the aisle from the fish place omg - really great quality chicken - never to be missed...
Did you really mean it was 90 celcius in the sauna?? -- no right probably Fahrenheit> Thanks for these vids.
No, 90 celcius. The high humidity makes it feel kinda like a really hot bath.
the name of the sauna boat "kok" means boil.
congratulation 2lkh subscriber bro
Great video!!. Next time you have to meet Sylwia and Paweł from the POSYPANO channel. They are young Poles with a YT channel about life in Norway and live in Oslo.
Hot dog on steroids, i love your presentation of these xD
Waffles is my favorite breakfast
What is the best way to check the dates for matches at Mathollen? I’m from the US and my family is wild about football!! Would be great if I could get them tickets for a match in June!!
hello Gareth. Take care
Its cooooolllllddddd ! But soooooooo good!
The brown cheese looks interesting
OMG! Jonathan Larson* is alive! Be still my Rent-loving heart! 🥰🎼🎭💓
300 kr for lunch. Holy moly. I just remembered why I only travel to Oslo occasionally, lol.
Everything is expensive in 7elevens and gastations, but the hotdogs are worth it
Hi Gareth, awesome video and very details, I am planning to visit Norway on next first week of April'20, Planning to visit Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Lofoten, Tromso by rental car, can you suggest how many days i must spend in each destination, and contact of the housing for rent, and if i only have 4 nights 4 days , do i have chances to visit Tromso ? Thanks and appreciated
Enough about waffles, more Gareth sauna footage please. Very informative 😉
Yum.....
Gareth: uploads a video
Me: *_aaww_* *_yeeaa_*
gareth Leonard is the my favourite you tube channel
Oh my god Gareth, close the sauna door!
That has to be a Canadian accent ! And it’s adorable ♥️
Haha, I'm almost Canadian - Upstate New York 😃
Yummy
If I spoke the language and Oslo would have me I’d live there in a second. 🇳🇴 🇺🇸❤️
If USA wasn't so difficult for me to visit, I would live there later in life. 🇳🇴🇺🇸
[NO] - мαяιυѕ. ツ I’m happy you like my country. 😊
Axel Stabursvik maybe that’s part of the reason I’m so attracted to Norway. I’m looking forward to visiting your beautiful country soon.
Don't worry, 90 % of Norwegians speak English :)
svend inge juritzen really?!? Wow.
You want to try eat the Brazilian hot dog. Is really good
Yes, I like to watch YT videos of foreigners coming to my city and do random stuff.
You're not alone. Nothing to be ashamed of! ;)
Hilsen a fellow Osloborger. (a little norwenglish there for good measure)
love you bro
Gareth Leonard is the best of you tube
Baked kids are the signature breakfast in Norway. Commies everywhere.
Good morning Norway
The hot dog at 3-kroneren in Bergen is way better :)
He has already tried it in his bergen video
Fun
This host is very goodlooking
Hi there, may I ask when this was filmed? Asking because I'm visiting Norway in a week
Also wondering! Was this in May?
The football match was on the 26. of march, much warmer here now ;)
