Hei hei! Thanks for watching this episode. Let me know if you have any questions about travel to Bergen, just post a comment below 😀 Also tusen takk, thanks a lot for subscribing to my channel 👍👍
Bergen is such a beautiful city. We got to stay there for three days during our visit to Norway back in 3016. We miss it so much. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Would you ever consider visiting , and making videos on Flåm and Balestrand? Those two towns are also beautiful
@@Greenkai3000 Hi, thanks for your comment! I'm working on a video from the Norway in a Nutshell trip. It'll feature a bit from Flåm. I hope to make something from Balestrand at a later point :) Glad you got to enjoy Bergen
@ that's awesome. That's exactly the trip we took. Norway in a Nutshell :).
@@Greenkai3000 Cool! Thanks for watching :)
I always wanted to visit The Troldhaugen in Bergen - Edvard Grieg's house. He is my favourite composer
Yes that’s a great sight! There is a lunch concert every day at Troldhaugen
This was great, Pål. It brought back lots of happy memories but my husband kept shouting at the TV, 'Why didn't we see THAT?' 🙄 To be fair, we visited in February 2019 and a lot was closed. We'll be back ONE day!
haha I guess you'll just have to come back again, hopefully soon :D Thanks for watching!
Best one.... loved the way how you put it all together
Thanks a lot!
Great video! So interesting. Your English is impeccable.
Thank you, tusen takk! I have a Canadian girlfriend so that helps my English a lot :)
Hei Pål, takk, great to see you again and your visit to Bergen. Brought back great memories from my last trip to Norway, sailing up to the wonderful Traena festival from Bergen with the Staatsrad Lehmkuhl! Wish you a fine autumn and hope to cross paths again soon! Hilsen fra Berlin! Holger
Hei Holger, nice to hear from you. I envy you that trip up to Træna with the SL! Must have been quite an experience. Hope to see you in Norway some day, also we've been talking about a trip to Berlin in 2022, I'll keep you posted, take care!
So excited to visit in September. Thank you for this great video!
You welcome! Thanks for watching the video. Great to hear that you are visiting Norway :)

I LOVE Hanseatic architecture.
Me too! And such an interesting part of the history of Bergen
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Tusen takk for watching
What a lovely video about a lovely city - I hope to visit one day! Especially liked the true star of this video - the Norwegian forest cat at 4:19 😉
Greetings from Toronto!
Hey Tabby! Thanks for watching. I’m going to Bergen the coming weekend and hope to meet that cat again 🤞
Greetings back to you. I was in Montreal two weeks ago so I was pretty close to your city :)

Nice Video Pål 👍 Bergen have so much cool things - I enjoyed my stay there now in december 2021 😀
Thanks Chris! Glad you had the chance to visit. December is also a nice time of year to be there!
We just returned from Norway, ending our tour in Bergen. You nailed it my friend!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed your trip :)
Super vidéo, ça donne très envie de découvrir la ville, merci
Merci beaucoup!
Is it allowed to say that this is the video I wanted to make but never could? Really well put together with so many great clips and amazing b-roll. This had to take ages to put together 👏🏻 And the clips you used to show the Fløybanen.... NICE! 🎥 There are not many in Norway who do this kind of videos so well as you. I see a bright future for you and this kind of content. I'm really impressed by the way you have transformed your videos the last year or so. It Is so inspiring for my own work as well. Game on 👏🏻🔥😁
Thanks Thomas! I was curious what you would say about this one, since I did not want to upset any of the locals with any bad/wrong Information.. hehe.. So nice to hear that you liked it, now I can sleep well tonight.. :D
Yay, two of our favourite Norwegians in the comment section! We just need Ride The Bean and we can have a party. 😄 🎉
@@twelvesmylimit Haha, he will join us sooner or later. If I have to drag him with me to the party 🤣
@@twelvesmylimit haha!
@@tshansen Drinks on me! 🍻 🍾
awesome!
Beautiful
Glad you like it!
Hello Pal,
I am just finding your channel, and thank you so much for sharing all your insights about Norway.
My ancestors are from Larvik and I'm working on making a plan to come and spend a few months there, hopefully next year. Your videos make it all the more enticing to come and see.
Tussen takk. Diane😊🇧🇻💜🌎
Hei Diane! Tusen takk, thanks a lot for your nice comment :) I hope you'll make it over here so that you can visit Larvik. It's a nice place, and when there I would also recommend you to check out a few of the smaller towns further south. Stavern, Nevlunghavn, Kragerø, Risør etc 🇳🇴
@ thank you so much for writing and for the tips on the other small towns to visit. I surely will. I plan to rent a car and travel around and explore all the beauty of Norway. Glad I found your Channel. Diane😊👍🇧🇻☮️🌎
Very nice view in Norway
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the homsey tour of your beautiful city. What is the best fjord tour from Bergen or Stavanger, please?
Hei Jim, glad you enjoyed the video. Rodne got a nice fjord tour from Stavanger to Lysefjord og Preikestolen. They got a few other options as well. Check out their website: rodne.no/en/
After the first Art section
you said "good for a rainy day"
It rains every day (almost) in Bergen
I even have the "Bergen Brolly" from my first trip there.
hehe yes there is quite a lot of rain coming down in Bergen, but I have to say I've had quite a few sunny days there as well :)
@
Here in Germany I watch a TV channel
co-produced by Germany, Switzerland and Austria called 3Sat - the three predominantly German speaking countries
My joke is that Austria which has a LOT of the Alps in it
ALWAYS has raining symbols all over it.
I call it österreichisches Wetter (Austrian weather) and I have an umbrella from Linz as well!
Basically trapped in between high mountains / hills - you get LOTS of rain.
My trip on the Fløibanen was slightly marred by the low cloud and rain LOL.
BTW I think Shakespeare was from Bergen really as he wrote:
"For the rain it raineth every day" ! LOL
I vist bergen 3 times
I realy love most videos in my chanel in bergen
Glad you had a chance to visit!
Thank you for this great video! I am going next week. I know you uploaded this in October but was the video shot then too? Weather looks better than I expected or was it just a lucky day?
Hey there, thanks for watching! I shot it in September. It`s not unusual to have nice sunny weather that time of the year. Can happen in October as well, all though it tends to be a bit more unstable month
Are there Stave Churches in Bergen? If so how do you get to one?
Hi there, there is a beautiful replica of a Stave Church there. The previous one burned down, and it was rebuilt. It's called Fantoft Stavkirke. You can take Bybanen (the metro) to the stop Fantoft, and then there's a short walk from there.
Hi Paul
Thank you for your video I am visiting Bergen in September for 10 days and I am wanting to see the glaziers and fiords could you recommend any trips please thank you
Hi, thanks for watching my video! you could consider doing the Norway in a Nutshell as a daytrip: www.norwaywithpal.com/norway-travel-blog/norway-in-a-nutshell-save-money-tour
Grazie.
You welcome!
Most of The Bryggen buildings were actually built after the Bergen Fire of 1702
Hopefully we will be in Bergen this summer. Is there a specific restaurant to go our is it best to just go to the seafood market to try local delicacies? We have 2 days in Bergen, would you recommend spending our time there or doing a day trip?
Hei Allen, I've had seafood a couple of times at Restaurant Fjellskål, it's pricey, but the quality is real good! It's just next to the outdoor fish market. Enhjørningen on Bryggen is also a nice fish restaurant.
You can easily spend two days in Bergen seeing all the museums, walking around in the city, going up on Mount Fløyen etc. An option is to do a day trip out to Griegs house, the famous composer. Tours depart every day around noon.
If you are not into Grieg you can also do a one day fjord cruise. Norway in a Nutshell round trip Bergen, or another type of tour taking you on the Sogne fjord. Enjoy!
Getyourguide got a list of tours here:

🥰🥰🥰🥰
thanks for the video!
is it recommended to visit bergen in november? is it too cold or okay?
I would rather visit in October (a bit warmer) or go there in December when the Christmas season has started.
But generally the weather can change a lot in November. Hard to predict anything but it can be below zero
Is there a tram near fish market? Im palbning to stay in magic hotel which is near to fish market but just wabtbto know if there’s a tram station as I have a very early trip tour and I have to go to the bergen station at 7am.
Hey, the Byparken stop is just a few min walk away from the fish market. 👍
Is there a possibility to see a beautiful fjord in the area around Bergen? Also, how much is the Ferry ride to Denmark? Does it go to Copenhagen?
Hei Ingrid, the Sognefjord is not so far from Bergen. You can take a train to Voss, and a bus from there to Gudvangen. From Gudvangen you can do a fjord cruise to Flåm. There are also ferries going out of Bergen taking you to Balestrand for instance.
There is no ferry to Copenhagen, but there is a ferry between Bergen and Hirtshals. You can find price and time schedule here: www.fjordline.com/en
We are very excited to be traveling to Bergen later this year. We are interested in learning more about the Viking history. Can you provide any recommendations in the Bergen area? Thank you!
Hi Alanna! To be honest the best spot for Viking history is south of Bergen near Haugesund.
Read more here: avaldsnes.info/en/historie/
Or check out this company north of Bergen: vikingfootprints.com/
@ Thank you so much for the information! I'll check it out! 😀
What is the name of the seafood restaurant you show at the end? Thank you.
It’s named Fjellskål. Its inside the building of the new fish market. Recommended 👍
Is there any video I shall follow to design a slow paced Norway itenery , staying minimum two nights at one place, and are there any accommodations where me n family can live like locals for a week ?

Hello my friend sending my full support here in pandan antique Philippines
Thanks a lot! Greetings back from Norway 🇳🇴
Hi would like to visit some days
Hei hei, I hope you will!
Pål, I was just reviewing my notes from our trip. I was wondering what the term "Lar Gum" meant? Pardon my spelling. Thanks Dave
Hei Dave, I think the (Swedish) word you are looking for is "Lagom". Which means "just the right amount" :)
Sorry to keep bothering you. We (a Canadian couple) will be visiting Bergen this July. We want to do what we heard is an amazing hike: between Mt Floyen and Mt. Ulriken. We heard it can be done in either direction. Which direction do you recommend? Thank you.
Hei! I would start at Ulriken, and you can’t then end up in downtown Bergen. It’s nice to hike towards the city :)
I grew up in the small "town", of Bergen, Minnesota, USA. About 32 population when I lived there so not really a town but we had a bar, gas station, coop store for groceries, and an auto/tractor repair shop. Integration in SW Minnesota meant getting the Norwegians, Swedes, and Germans to work together.
hehe, that might sound like a tough task...
I have heard about that town though. Maybe I should go there some day and make a top things to do in "bergen" :D Thanks for your comment!
Hei Pål! I love watching your videos. Can you recommend a good place to stay in Bergen for me, my wife and 9 yo daughter? Also that seafood looks amazing! Where did you go to get that?
Thanks Joe! We got that seafood at the Fjellskål restaurant next to the fish market 😋
About hotels it depends a bit what is your budget, but you can find some of my recommendations here: norwaywithpal.com/city-guides/bergen-city-guide/#placestostay
@
Oh wow! Thank you so much for the reply Pål! New subscriber here.
You are welcome, enjoy Bergen!@@joequilici6555
For Floyen, can we use public transport to go back to down town? Walking is killing me 😊
Buy a round trip ticket and take the funicular down again as well :)
Is it cold in bergen during summer, should I take coats?
Take rain coats and a warm sweater:)
Hei Pål tusen takk for dette video, det var veldig interessant! Jeg har faktisk et spørsmål, could you reccomend any one day hikes near Bergen? I have heard several times that Bergen is the gateway to the fjords and I wonder if you know any interesting places around the city and close to nature? 😄
Hei hei! Bergen is surrounded by 7 mountains so good place to do some hiking. A popular one is to take the cable car up Ulriken. From there you can hike back to Fløien and take the funicular or hike down to the city center 👍
If you have time you could also consider doing the Stoltzen hike. you get amazing views up there

@@karisa1623 Vær så god! You are welcome
Nice video, what's with the feet though?, whatever happened to meters? All the best✌️
Thanks! Juggling different languages and cultures I often find myself using both.. Bad habit ;)
@ Sure, it's just that 'feet, pounds and stones' always throw me off a bit😁
haha you are not the only one @@robertskolimowski7049
#7 Black Metal! 🤘
👍 hehe yea🤘
Hello. Do you live in Bergen? I believe the funicular is currently closed. I'll be there in two weeks, was curious if it is allowed (and safe) to hike up Mt Floyen in the dark?
Hi there, yes I believe it is closed now. No problem to do the hike in the dark. I would have done it. But probably smart to bring a flashlight just in case :)
Thanks. Great videos, I may have a few more questions regarding Oslo as my trip gets closer! 🤙🏻
@@nathanielfawcett6577 Sure, just ask :)
Great video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
Hei! We’re planning on heading to Bergen in March. Do you know what the mask mandated are like currently in Norway? I haven’t seen any masks in the video. Are they not required?
Hey there! Right now there is a general recommendation to wear a mask indoors if you can't keep a 1 meter distance. Some places it is prohibited (it'll say on the door). But to be honest, recommendations are changing so fast now it'll for sure be totally different when you come in March. If Omicron continues to be the dominant variant I don't think there will be any mandate for masks in March. Most of our regulations will probably go away next week :)
@ Awesome thank you so much! I really appreciate it. It’s stressful traveling right now because of how frequently the rules are changing! Thanks so much!
@@tywedekind2807 You welcome :) I hope you'll have a great trip to Norway
Can you recommend good seafood restaurants?
Here is a traditional place with good fish: www.bryggeloftet.no/
I also like this place: www.allmuenbistro.no/

Hello
Bergen or stryn would you recommend?
And if I ended up in bergen, which is nicer to visit odda or flam? Thank you 🙏
I would Visit Bergen. Odda is a nicer town than Flåm. Flåm is basically a place you go just to catch the fjord ferry
Har lyst til å reise igjen til Bergen.
Det er fint å høre :)
Podemos preguntar? un planing de 5 días por favor
Pues 5 días puede ser un buen oportunidad para visitar Oslo y Bergen y las montañas y fiordos entre los dos ciudades
Solo visitaré Bergen y algún fiordo.
Norway is as exiting as potato salad sandwich.
I love potato salad!
@ I'm totally surprised that there is practically nothing between Oslo and Bergen. The empties is overwhelming, reminds me of America's South-West. I'm also very surprised by haw conservative Norway is. I was expecting for Bergen to be a miniature London :))), when in reality it looks and gives the impression as nothing happens in Bergen, and the city got stack in the 1920. It isn't necessary a bead thing, it is very unexpected. BTW, if you try truffle salt on your potato or egg salad, it will take it to the next level. It is expensive, but it is worth every penny.
@@rebuzz6866 Truffle salt, that is noted! Chives is also good.. Norway is the least populated country in Europe, so vast areas of basically nothing, except for an abundance of hytter (cabins) and moose :)
0:47 Women should not steal the clothes from the men, leaving them standing naked... Also, blue is mostly associated with men colors and not woman colors. So, what is going on in the head of the artist who created this, or is it the organisation/management of this art exposition and are that men or women or is it mixed?🤔
🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Nice video! But what about black metal? 😈
