A common mistake for tourists coming to Norway is wasting their time in the eastern part of Norway (Oslo is just a boring version of Stockholm or Copenhagen). Beitostølen is very nice, but hardly compares to the spectacular West and North of Norway. I suggest you start in Stavanger (with the Pulpit Rock and Lysebotn) and go North via Bergen, Voss, Sogndal, Sognefjellet, Geiranger, Aalesund, and take the Atlantic Road to Trondheim via Kristiansund. Now that is a fantastic drive!
I have heard this misconseption several times lately.. 17th of May is the constitution day, and we are celebrating the signing and agreement of the constitution in 1814. That was independance from Denmark, and we call that period for the 400-year long night. As for the independance from Sweden, we have 7th of june, which is called 'unionsoppløsningen' which many of us put out the flag, but don't celebrate as 17th of May. The government building also has a room called the 7. juni-room.
I'm Norwegian and I'm hardly aware that the 7th of june is a day of significance. The parade street from the Norwegian Parliament to the Royal Castle (That was shown on the 17th of may feature) is named after the Swedish king Carl Johan and his big Statue (with him on a horse) is the center of the square courtyard in front of the castle. We love our swedish sweet brother and adore to celebrate with them in their own national costumes 🇧🇻🇸🇪 💞
@@Aliquis.frigus Most of us Norwegians don't know that date😅 I think it's because we declared ourselves independent right after the signing of the constitution on the 17th of may 1814. And the fact that we were forced into a union with Sweden for 91 years doesn't really matter. Especially since the swedes did their best to try to keep us, by giving us a lot of autonomy. not that it actually mattered in the end. we have had a taste of independence and we would not give that up. But. This needs to be said though. The Swedes treated us much better than the Danish ever did.
I just got back from 12 days in Alaska. So clean and fresh air. Was there for the summer solstice so 2 hours of dusk that day only. What beauty. Would love to see Norway/ Sweden.
Watched a few of your videos tonight, awesome. Loved your Scotland video but can totally connect with this one. My Grandfather escaped the Germans when they invaded Norway in 1940 and fought in the Royal Norwegian Navy throughout the war. He met my Nan and the rest is history I guess which is why I have a British/Norwegian history of which I am super proud. What is then crazy, is one of my sisters was born in the UK on May 17th. Norway is one of the most stunning and friendly countries in the world ❤️❤️🇳🇴🇳🇴
True. As much as I love Sweden, Sweden, Denmark and Finland doesn't even come close to Norway in the spectacular nature department. Iceland however is certainly up there with some impressive nature, but in the Nordics It's difficult to beat western Norway and the Lofoten archipelago up north.
Cool video,guys,and highly appreciated! You're right about the lack of Swedish tourists here in Norway. When I grew up in Bergen in the 60-70's,it was common for Norwegian families to spend summer holidays in Sweden,which had a more modern and innovative society then Norway back then. (And way better highways!) Later in life I realised that while most Norwegians knew quite a lot about Sweden,most Swedes knew precious little about Norway. So welcome next time to beautiful Bergen and the majestic fjords and mountains of Western Norway!
Imagine the shock that I experienced last year when I visited Norway on May and saw frozen lakes and snow. I'm from Greece, so... Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.
Thank you for bringing us to Norway. Living in the USA it’s the same thing. We travel more frequently to Europe rather than our neighbors Canada and Mexico.
2:43 - 17th of May is our constitution day, so we're technically celebrating the constitution which was passed on the 17th of May 1814 - before our union with you guys. So one could in a way say we're celebrating entering a union with Sweden (despite almost going into a war with you several times during the 100 years to come). So, it's really exiting the Danish union we're celebrating. Edit: Well, you explained all this very well afterwards...
ah nice the one day of the year when I can sit home in front of the tv and enjoy my time in peace, cause which sane norwegian actually enjoys being out and around so many people
This is the difference between Norwegians and Swedes. The Swedes are always talking about money and prices. 😊! We are celebrating that we got our own Constitution - Law after 400 years with the Danes. 😵💫The first Celebration was 17. May 1820. Then we went in a Union with the Swedes. We chose a Danish Prince to be our King in 1905. King Haakon VII. Greetings from Oslo.

Great perseverance, jet lagged and a canceled flight. Middle seat and then almost had to stand up on a four hour train ride! All for your friends and viewers
Wow, the weather really showed off Norway in the best way ❤ But, beeing scandinavians you should know that you always have to bring warm clothes wherever you go! Always cold nights and in the heights... 😊
Thank you for this beautiful video!!! I appreciate you showing these videos. I am handicapped, and, I will never get to visit. I cannot just imagine myself there!!!
Norway is quite accessible for handicapped. Museums, public buildings, restaurants, public transport and so on are all accessible for wheelchairs. It might be an issue during winter months and snowy sidewalks, but in summer there should be no issue getting around. Don't let that stop you from experiencing Norway:)
That was really interesting; I 'd love to see some of Sweden and how it is different. Thank you so much as I doubt if I will ever get to either place, but who knows since I do go to Europe once or twice a year, mainly Paris and London. Aloha from Hawaii.
Dan looks so handsome without his glasses. I almost couldn't recognize him. He is super handsome! I sincerely suggest that Dan consider laser surgery for myopia! You can have the surgery on your next trip to Taiwan, where it is very popular and cheap!

Your friend has a great sense of humor, and she is so lucky to know you! Thank you so much for sharing, super great job! 👍😍🙌
It’s so funny because I’m from the UK but I’ve never been to Scotland, barely explored Wales and only been to Ireland once, but been to places like France, Belgium and the US countless times 😂 Funny how we do that to ourselves! I cannot wait to see more of your Norway and Nordic trip! I’d also love some more Sweden vlogs from you guys! We went to Gothenburg a few months ago and fell IN love! I could easily live there 😂 if it wasn’t so expensive! This scenery is stunning everywhere you look. I’ve gotta get to Norway one day!
It's one thing to visit a place or country on your holiday and become infatuated with it. It's an entirely different thing to move there to live. That's when the culture shocks set in. From my experience many English and Irish expats are not at all comfortable living here in Sweden.
@@rainers.2080 that’s very interesting. Do you have any ideas on why they might not like it? I’ve recently moved to Canada from the UK having only been to Canada once before and knowing barely anyone here - I feel pretty good about the decision and the culture shock feels less for some reason. Maybe Canada and the UK are similar enough that I don’t notice much of a difference day to day, honestly I have no idea but I’m curious to hear tone thoughts on this! ☺️☺️☺️
@@TipsyTofuTravels google "Jante law". Also there was a Canadian woman, a youtuber, who posted a video where she procalimed Swedish people to be the loneliest and least frendly people in the world.
English is one of the mandatory subjects everyone has to take at school in Sweden, I don't know about today, but back in the 90's when I went to school, English classes started in 4th grade. It might even be earlier these days. Far from every Swede is fluent in English, but many are at least proficient. It's definitely a country where you can easily get around with English as a visitor or expat, without having to worry about needing someone to translate for you
But deutch tutoring starts way later, (in middle scool) and in my time, a lot of it was just if you chose it (several choices ,but have to stick to one of them). Ive forgotten a lot of my deutch,unfortunally... So , in norway,everyone know english,allthou how we TALK/sound ,might be "so so "😅... And,my grammar stinks(obviously). I learned english and deutch , and started with spanish and wanted to try french after spanish ,(senior years)but i gave up. Still a regret,tho,i wish i learned more language. But,its not to late...
I use to, as a Norwegian, as a guest to my Swedish frinds to send a congratulation to them., Flaggans dag!.. and yea, in 30 minutes from now we are in to the June the 6th, so it`s time to make a gesture to my favorite neighbours 😁 (wish youtube could have flags in their emo`s tonight)
Having been following you around the world, I believe you neglected your neighbour more to the southwest as much as you forgot to explore Norway. So, I like to invite you to come and visit Denmark soon. ❤❤❤
Dan, where did you get those blue tinted glasses you wore when arriving in Oslo? I love em! Looking forward to visiting Oslo and Gothenburg for separate weekends in March next year.
I love the fact that Norwegians celebrate their Constitution Day with ABBA music, even if it's not theirs! In Greece, National Holidays are celebrated with very stiff and stern students' and army parades. Not cool!
Not independence day. It's Constitution Day from when the constitution was signed in 1814 . Independence day is 7 June when Norway became independent from Sweden in 1905. Although Sweden didn't recognise our independence until 24 October same year.
Yeah, ski resorts are extra expensive ! Still,prizes are adapted to our salary's. To compare to other country's ,is kind of wrong. Anyway, norway IS expencive .
👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲
Do you have a saunas in your cottages in Norway or Sweden? As a Finn its hard to even think going to cottage where is NO sauna, especially if its cold outside. :D
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Foot bath, ok if you really don't do there anything.... But when you go hiking really many kilometers or do something else physical and you sweat. You wash by putting only your feet in a bucket?....
Nice video! We love Sweden and we go to vacation there almost every year. Been doing that since the 70's (I'm 53 now). You know the traditional dress worn at 17. may is a very expensive dress. It's hand made and cost from 3000 to 5000 euros to have made for woman (unless you buy a China replica). Many girls get their dress for the confirmation and they keep it for life.
Also, a lot of young people inherred a bunad,from their mother. So , one bunad,can be used for several generations. All bunads are made to be adapted to make size bigger/smaller,too.
2:28 Nope. Norway dont celebrate the independence from Sweden (which was 1905). Norway celebrate the constitution signed on 17th if May in 1814. You do correct it kinda just after, but ... Sweden has nothing to do with it.
17 May is Constitution Day from when the constitution was signed at Eidsvoll in 1814. Independence Day is 7 June from when Norway declared It's independence from Sweden in 1905.
The sissolution of the union is makerd on 7 June when Oscar II was deposed. And just to show how unpopular the union had become, this was confirmed by a referendum on 13 August - and 99.96% (!) voted for ending it. Norwegians have never been as unanimous about anything after that.
So, I've heard that when Scandinavians visit each other's countries, although their native languages are mutually intelligible, they prefer to speak English as a lingua franca. I'm curious, is this true, did you guys speak English in Norway?
Norwegians don't need English to communicate with Swedes, and I don't think Swedes need it to communicate with Norwegians, either. Danish is very similar to Norwegian in writing, but because of the pronunciation it is more difficult to understand Danish, but if you give yourself some time we can also communicate with them. Young people may not be as confident in communicating without using English. A Norwegian, a Swede and a Dane can, with a little goodwill, communicate with each other by all three speaking their own language. Norway is all about dialects, and Norwegians have grown up with both Swedish and Danish children's programs on TV, so for us it's just like another dialect, whether it's Swedish or Danish.
Oh you like Taylor Swift? You just missed the show in Sweden! I was in Stockholm for the show, then i went to Oslo for a couple of days, so i missed the Constitution day 🥲
So Norwegians have official National day celebrations. We have in Finland official Vappu celebrations. Sweden, do you have anything like that?? Yes I mean official events like these? Not basic festivals...

@@Luredreier Oh I don't know about the gf ... At Berkeley he earned a BA in Political Science
Do you know what the flowering shrubs were that Dan commented on in Norway?
Normally a pizza that size is more like 20-24usd for the big one
buuut you had to eat a at Ski resort (tourist trap :D)
Yeah, ski resorts are extra expensive !
Still,prizes are adapted to our salary's. To compare to other country's ,is kind of wrong.
Anyway, norway IS expencive .
Ahh...svensker altså!! :D Love you guys over there. :)
Guys you don't think this as exotic but most people from other side of the world see Scando Nordic countries are exotic.
Awesome job you guys drop a like
The pizza prices were just ridiculous to most of the world. Well over three times the cost for a premium pizza.
Yeah well. Prizes are adapted to norwegian salary's.
Not other country's...

At 15:38 is it the house from kings man where a secret agent is killed?
Svenska bror tack for en fin fin fin video!
Annddd of course you’re driving around in a Volvo. Thank you for all your videos
Yup, gotta represent😂🇸🇪
Do you have a saunas in your cottages in Norway or Sweden? As a Finn its hard to even think going to cottage where is NO sauna, especially if its cold outside. :D
Some do, some don't. Nowadays I think outdoor spa's are more common, but if you want to rent one, you should check if they have a sauna.
Sauna?
Just take a steaming foot bath...
That'll defrost you !
❄️❄️❄️☕️😘❄️❄️❄️
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Foot bath, ok if you really don't do there anything.... But when you go hiking really many kilometers or do something else physical and you sweat. You wash by putting only your feet in a bucket?....
Nice video! We love Sweden and we go to vacation there almost every year. Been doing that since the 70's (I'm 53 now). You know the traditional dress worn at 17. may is a very expensive dress. It's hand made and cost from 3000 to 5000 euros to have made for woman (unless you buy a China replica). Many girls get their dress for the confirmation and they keep it for life.
Takk! And yes we looked at renting a bunad for the day and even that would break the bank😅
Also, a lot of young people inherred a bunad,from their mother. So , one bunad,can be used for several generations.
All bunads are made to be adapted to make size bigger/smaller,too.
Nothing like 3 Swedes, speaking German, in Norway.
😂😩 This comment wins
Embrace your Nordic roots😆🇫🇮 Perhaps visit Finland one day?
What brand are your blue glasses Oskar! Also can Kayla come back hahahaha she looks so sweet ❤❤❤
23:14 ❤❤❤❤❤
2:28 Nope. Norway dont celebrate the independence from Sweden (which was 1905). Norway celebrate the constitution signed on 17th if May in 1814. You do correct it kinda just after, but ... Sweden has nothing to do with it.
18. mai I was in Stockholm.. loved that city and the people.. and 35 kroner for a beer ? WTF?
Oh no you arrived so late you missed out on the champagne breakfast / brunch
We celebrate independence from Denmark
Nei, det gjør vi ikke. 17. mai heter grunnlovsdagen, vi feirer Grunnloven vår fra 1814. Så lærte du noe nytt i dag.
17 May is Constitution Day from when the constitution was signed at Eidsvoll in 1814.
Independence Day is 7 June from when Norway declared It's independence from Sweden in 1905.
The sissolution of the union is makerd on 7 June when Oscar II was deposed.
And just to show how unpopular the union had become, this was confirmed by a referendum on 13 August - and 99.96% (!) voted for ending it.
Norwegians have never been as unanimous about anything after that.
So, I've heard that when Scandinavians visit each other's countries, although their native languages are mutually intelligible, they prefer to speak English as a lingua franca. I'm curious, is this true, did you guys speak English in Norway?
Norwegians don't need English to communicate with Swedes, and I don't think Swedes need it to communicate with Norwegians, either. Danish is very similar to Norwegian in writing, but because of the pronunciation it is more difficult to understand Danish, but if you give yourself some time we can also communicate with them. Young people may not be as confident in communicating without using English. A Norwegian, a Swede and a Dane can, with a little goodwill, communicate with each other by all three speaking their own language.
Norway is all about dialects, and Norwegians have grown up with both Swedish and Danish children's programs on TV, so for us it's just like another dialect, whether it's Swedish or Danish.
There's no way I'd speak English with a Swedish person... 😅
Guys you look so happy in this video
No, we do not celebrate the end of the union with Sweden in 1905. We celebrate the signing of the Constitution in 1814.
5:15 The Norwegian flag is not to be pointed downwards, this is seen as disrespectful of the flag.
Oh you like Taylor Swift? You just missed the show in Sweden! I was in Stockholm for the show, then i went to Oslo for a couple of days, so i missed the Constitution day 🥲
So Norwegians have official National day celebrations. We have in Finland official Vappu celebrations. Sweden, do you have anything like that?? Yes I mean official events like these? Not basic festivals...
Flaggans dag
You simply dont wear shorts in Norway on may 17.
I'm not sure where I missed the point, but why is everyone suddenly speaking German? It sounds funny!
Norway needs diversity, crime is low I bet. 😊
We've already imported a lot of c̶r̶i̶m̶e̶ diversity...
Fun fact: The norwegian flag was created by a 10 year old boy😊
No it wasn't. It was drawn by Fredrik Meltzer, who was a 40-year-old Storting representative.
Please, do NOT wear shorts/Bermudas on the 17th of May !
Proper trousers.
No denim...
Everybody dresses up for the Constitution Day !
❤️🤍💙 💛🩵
tourists aren't expected to dress up. C'mon.
Så du mener at de som bruker nikkers til bunaden må skifte til langbukser?
