Good video! But to clarify on the alcohol thing: You can not buy alcohol over 3,5% in the store on Sundays or after 15.00 Saturdays. But you can still buy it at bars and restaurants, which wasn't entirely clear in the video.
Very true! Thank you! 😁
And to clarify further, each one of Swedens 290 something counties decide whether public drinking is permitted or not. In Stockholm you are totally free to walk almost anywhere to drink whatever percentage you like. In some other places the police will drain your bottle in the street and fine you, but not in the capital.
@@fredosinsemilla3896 Wow! Interesting! Thanks Fredo! 😁
You can buy 3.5% beer anytime you want, we don't have that type of restriction.
@@fredosinsemilla3896 thats true, its up to local authorities to decide weather and where you are allowed to drink or not and how much and what kind and in the streets of gothenburg the rule (which is rarely upheld) is 3.5, although notably in the largest public park you are free to drink as much as you want
Being from Norway it's always fun to hear what people think about Sweden! (Healthy rivalry between siblings!
Ooooh I learned something new! That's really amazing - the best of all worlds with nature/sea/city! I hope to see Norway one day soon too 😄
True, we are also sort of proud when our Norwegian siblings are mentioned in the international press or their beautiful nature is being displayed!
It is very much like a sibling relationship. We never want to lose to eachother (or admit that the other one is better), but we also don't want any other countries to win against our neighbors! 😄
@@NatashaBergen Yes, considering your last name you might want to visit the city of Bergen in Norway :)
@@aularound Such a nice way to put it! 😍
@@aularound ohhhhh yes you better believe it's going to happen! 😁
Thanks for a very nice video. Gothenburg (Göteborg in swedish) is a very nice town. Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden.
I'd love to visit Stockholm, I've heard nothing but wonderful things 😁
Great video. Thanks for sharing, I was in Gothenburg a few years back and absolutely loved it. Cheers!
Amazing!! Beautiful place indeed!
Another great video. Thank you, Natasha! Keep on rockin`😎🥳😊
Thanks Per 😁🙌💪😊
You are always welcome back my Lady! :-)
Thank you!!! 😁
Glad to hear that you like My hometown 🙂
Definitely!!!
Very fun to see this video from my hometown... And also hear about your reactions on our city. Next time you come to Gothenburg, do it in the summer. and also try to visit the various bathing spots around the city. Very welcome 🤗
Thanks mate! I'm glad I did it justice 😁 Bathing spots as in baths or saunas? Very interesting hopefully I can get there in the summer 🤞🏼
I am now living in Gothenburg and i love here so much. Have a nice day everyone 🌹
That’s amazing! I’m glad you like it so much 😄😄 Good luck!
@@NatashaBergen Thank you .Goodluck to you as well. God bless and more power to your channel :)
Nice to see you're from Canada too! Also from Canada. Gothenburg is great! Posted lots of videos from Gothenburg on my channel.
Awesome! How's it goin' eh?! Haha brilliant, I'll have to check them out.
1:20 Yes, they really do. Coming from the UK I was so shocked when this happened and I'd almost have to double check they had seen me and we actually stopping for me. After a couple days you get used to it, but be careful when you return home!
Haha oh yes! Big shock getting home again 😂
Thank you so much for this video short but very informative xxxxx kisses from Manchester UK
Hi Erika! Thank you for watching and soooo glad you found something useful in it 😁 Hug from Spain 💛
Nice video! Makes me miss Gothenburg. Luckily, I'm going there in two days. Also, glad you got to see the beautful archipelago.
That's lovely! I hope you get some good fikaing! Ohh yes the archipelago is gorgeous. Enjoy your time there. :)
@@NatashaBergen I definitely will. Thanks!
So nice to see you, and I hope you visit the north someday.
I hope so 😍 it looks gorgeous!
Loved this! Hope you will come back! You still need to check out the "West Coast" in summertime, Strömstad (VERY crowded) for example. And you need to check out northern Sweden in wintertime, its vastly different. Maybe go on reindeer safari, go dog sleighing, or go ride snowmobile. Also a trip to southern Sweden is worth it. Sweden is very different looking, going from south to north (also very long distance xD)
WOW 🤩 These are amazing suggestions, thank you!! I hope to be back one day soon. It's such an amazing country, truly! And the people made it feel so welcoming! (I'd love to see the difference between north and south)!
I agree! I'll join in! :D
@@NatashaBergen Welcome back anytime!
@@Noiseprojekt 😁😁😁
True about the distance. It is about the same from north to south of sweden as from south of sweden to Rome, italy or something like that. ;-)
Keep going! You make really nice videos :)
😍😍😍 thanks!
😄 great! Take care be safe 😷💛
Thank you!! Same to you😁
Very nice video! Her voice is so relaxing, perfect ASMR voice...
Thanks! 😁 I just hope you don't fall asleep while you watch 😆
Nice to see that you enjoyed Göteborg :)
Without a doubt 😁
Yes, In Sweden it is law to stop for someone at crosswalks
Yeah but you can't always count on everyone stopping for you and that is only if there is no traffic lights
No?
@@犬用下着ソース入り消臭剤 Yes it is actually.
@@Templarofsteel88 Agreed.
@@Templarofsteel88 not true. They HAVE to stop even if it is full traffic. It’s not the same as in other countries
Hi fun to hear you like gothenburg.
We are social and helpful when we receive visits.
A few years ago, a law was passed if pedestrians have priority when walking across the street.
If there are no traffic lights.
Have a nice day.
Thanks Daniel! 😁😁
Wow, you really captured the beauty of my home town perfectly!
Welcome back to Götaplatsen (you did a fair job pronouncing, but that one should sound kind of like YER-ta-plat-sen. Soft Gs before Ö ;) ) any time you like. Though I'd recommend the spring or summer.
That's so helpful! When I was filming I literally listened to the audio 20 times and practiced - still failed! 😂
So sweet to say thank you for the water 🤩😇💕
It's the little things in life right?😁😂
@@NatashaBergen oh it is and the little things are the best ✨🥰
@@implorapace yessss 😁
Thank you for sharing this. I'll be going to Sweden in a few days, can't wait!
Amazing! Have a wonderful trip - happy fikaing! 😄
If you liked the west coast you should check out Åstol in the summer. It's like nothing else.
Also, for a cheaper experience, just take the ferry over to the southern archipelago. Especially Brännö is tourist-friendly.
WOW Åstol looks stunning - I love the colour of the houses, maybe I'll be able to check it out one day, thank you! :D Yes, I loved Brännö!
I used to live on that uphill at 2:28! I see my building! Miss those times.
Oh a bit of nostalgia! 😁 Nice place to have lived!!
Nice to see your vid! Im born and raised in Gothenburg. What you are saying about food prices seems legit. In stockholm price rises with like 200% haha...
Thanks Adam!! I can't believe it's so much more expensive in Stockholm! 😅 Just because it's the capital?!
@@NatashaBergen Yea!! Because its more "status" haha. Gothenburg is more chill compared to Stockholm ;)
@@adam-ez I could definetly sense the chillness! I can't to wait to see for myself this status 😝 Interesting 😂
In Sweden, you can usually get a salad buffet with bread and some cake during lunch. Then it was sad that the Nordic region's largest amusement park has closed due to Corona.
Yum! Salad buffet? Sign me up! I gotta find more of those 😍 + cake 🤤
Fun fact about Milles' Poseidon.. Some big wig thought that he sculpted Poseidon's "member" a bit too large.. and you couldn't have that, could you? So Milles made it teeeeeny but gave Poseidon a really big fish for for him to hold that from a certain angle, the image and silhouette is quite evocative. If you have that kind of imagination :)
HAHA! I love this bit of history!!😂
Unfortunately a myth though... 😢
Love this video! Show us that you are interested in other cultures. :)
I'm glad you like it! 😁 Working on more to come for sure! In the meantime my love for the Philippines, Portugal and Spain are on UA-cam the rest is on Instagram 😉 Have a lovely day!!
Welcome back, and welcome also to Stockholm.
Thank you!!😁
Love the video and you're really beautiful 😇
You should visit Dalarna in Sweden on midsummer next time! ☀🇸🇪
Wow Dalarna looks STUNNING! Thank you for the suggestion - I hope the skies really do have those colours in the summer 😍
@@NatashaBergen It has indeed 🙂🌄🌆
The first city in another continent I visited was Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I was amazed by the cars stopping to let me pass even when I was just looking at something on the other side of the street.
That was in 1968, I guess even Canadians have bocome more stressed since then.
Haha!! I really appreciate this! 😂 I've never been to Halifax but we are like Sweden and we do stop for people which is completely different from here in Spain or when I lived in Vietnam 😂😂 I hope you enjoyed my country!!
@@NatashaBergen Most visitors do, I'm sure.
Great country in many ways.
Been to Vancouver too, but have more vivid memories of Halifax.
@@acajutla lovely! I'm glad you got to both coasts!!
Da Matteo, good call, see you found the right spots.
SO GOOD 🤤
@@NatashaBergen still there is sooo many more thats better than da matteo!
@@RoffePop true, lots to taste!
Yes sir!
Gothenburg is nice and all, but when going to Sweden you should really take advantage of our Right of Public Access, which basically allows for venturing off pretty much anywhere in nature. After living abroad myself and feeling a bit restricted by concepts like "private land" it's been a true pleasure coming back and having this access to nature. It also helps moving to a small village/town with forrest all around instead of the cities :D
Oh I didn't know! Fantastic! I'll remember that when I go back =) thanks!
Give me a shout and I'll take you for a roadtrip 😁
@@ChristofferCederholm Sounds like fun!!!
CUTE! like a button. Fun to see what foreigners think of Gothenburg/ Göteborg :)
Hahah! Yes no complaints from me 😁 It reminded me of home!
I am considering studying in Gothenburg. The things that worry me, because of the stereotypes, are if I can handle the weather staying positive, and if I will succeed to find people, eventually friends to spend my spare time with. Thank you for the video.
That’s great! From what I know of Gothburgians and Swedes in general they are very welcoming, and friendly. 😁 Good luck with your move if you choose to go, and if do, the community here is full of lovely Gothenburgians who might be able to help, you never know 💚
@@NatashaBergen Honestly, this sounds great! Thank you for the reply and for the videos you make. For sure if I am accepted, once I arrive there I will try to adapt to the local lifestyle, learn Swedish for everyday life interactions, and respectfully try to find the right social circle. Sorry if I made mistakes, I am not a native English speaker and am still in a learning process.
Wish you all the best!
@@inboccaallupo14 brilliant! I'm sure it will go well! The Swedish government has a free course online if you wanted to get a head start :) Good luck with it all 😁
I'm sorry for commenting late but you really should revisit during summer when it's warm it's a different world
Yes for sure!!😁
Cool video !
Perfect! 💖
Delightful content!
Stay Connected!
Thanks so much! 😁
I am going to Sweden soon, and your video is very inspiring!Have you been to Malmo? I am debating whether to go to Gothenburg or Malmo
I am also from Canada and I am wondering if Sweden is colder?
Lucky you! How wonderful 😁 I've never been to Malmo but I've had many Swedes suggest I go! I'm guessing it's not as cold as Canada but pretty sure it's all relative to which part of our frosty country you're coming from and which part of Sweden. 😁 I've really only scratched the surface but I hope you have a great time! Let me know how it goes 🙌🏼
If i were you i shouldnt go to Malmö or Gotenburg thats not Sweden anymore.. travel around in the south sweden in the villages and nature instead..i recomend eastcoast from Ystad and visit National park Stenshuvud a little bit north along the coast. And look for Airbnb houses to sleep in. Hope youre coming to us. Martin
@@martinericsson2055 sluta att förtala ditt land.Malmö är en fin stad
@@martinericsson2055 ask this dude why "Malmö or Gotherburg" isn't sweden anymore and you'll find out how invalid any of his POV are.
@@NatashaBergen I would guess the northern part of Sweden has the same weather and temperatures as Canada.
Some winters we get down to -40 degrees celsius where I live although it's very rare, but mostly it's around -20 to -25 C.
So it varies a lot depending on where in Sweden you are :)
Visiting Sweden at the moment is very affordable at the moment Because of the low swedish krona. Now its becoming more expensive though. Since september the swedish krona got 15 % stronger to the euro and 28 % against the dollar. Hope you come to Stockholm One day.
Oh wow! I had no idea, thank you for the fact 😁 It's good information!!
I currently live in Gothenburg. It is really beautiful and also thanks for this cute video.
Thanks Raihan! I'm glad you liked it! Enjoy Gothenburg for me 😁
Canadian people are so nice and pleasant, it seems to me. At least the (quite a few) I have met in Europe, mostly in France actually. You're probably no exception, hmm too bad I'm not younger.
Lol ok, läskig kommentar
Nice 👌
so pretty :)
The water in Scandinavia is great. When traveling to Rome or other places, I found it awful in comparison
YES! I wish I could fill my suitcase with it! 😂 It's the little things in life right?
Sweden is so different. Coffee and pastry with coworkers everyday. In America we hate each other and can't wait to go home. Also, what is a work break!??
Right?! It's unbelievable that people dare to take work breaks 😝 It's actually amazing there 🙊
If you do like Carl Milles then his place on Lidingö just outside Stockholm is the place to go. There are lots of sculptures by Milles in Stockholm - including a sculpture/fountain he made to be outside the UN in New York but instead the UN chose the now famous sculpture of a gun with a knotted barrel that was created by... a Swedish artist called Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd - who was born in Stockholm as well.
Wow! I had no idea that so many famous artists came out of Stockholm. I'm loving the fun facts! 😁 Thanks!
@@NatashaBergen Thank you for a fun video. I'll be checking out more of your content. It's funny how the UA-cam algorithm seems to promote videos about Sweden for Swedes when I would be even more interested in what creators think of places I want to go to.
@@jonasfermefors Glad you liked it! Yes, it's funny that algorithm... I couldn't agree more 😂
If there's traffic lights you gotta push the button and wait for green. If there are no lights you can just cross.
Phew 😅 good to know
Thanks
Alcohol is okey to drink outside in public places except some places where the local laws says you can not, 500kr in fine in that case. But dont think there is to many areas that has those laws and most of the time i think you would be asked to pure it out or leave.
Hey! Could you pleas emake a video about how do you travel and how does it feel to travel and what do you do for living?:)
Hey Melika! I've got some coming up soon :) :)
My hometown...
And it's lovely!
❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹 Grazie a tutti
Grazie a te! :)
Saw a couple of your videos, good work. I live in Gothenburg. If you are coming back, let me know. Dinner and cocktails on me
Awe thanks Sammy! So kind 😄 I'll definitely be back!
The most beautiful places in Sweden is up north,likewise in Norway
As a brit living in northern Norway I completely agree.
Visst å hur korkad är du på en skala
@@michaelhammar2778 uppenbarligen väldigt mycket mindre än den som nämnde det! Somna om 👌

i live here and iove Göteborg . And icehockey Frölunda Indians .
Fantastic! I looooove ice hockey! I'll have to check it out next time =)
We, Swedes, love our 9-fika, 11-fika, 15-fika and of course Friday-fika!
10-fika works fine as well :)
all the Fikas😍
I've never been to Canada but for some reason I felt that the Swedish and Canadian mentality/way of looking at things aren't that far apart? Might be completely wrong
I don't know too much about Sweden yet but so far I would have to agree😁
I live in sweden
Pretty much everything that you said in this video goes also with Finland! Ok. Not the Poseidon thing!
Sweden Area: 450 295 km², you have a lot more to explore in this country. 😊
Yes! 100% right! Any suggestions are welcome! 😄
@@NatashaBergen
Oh dear, it's over 2000 km from south to north. There are so many beautiful places to visit. 🤔 I have to think about those really best strawberry places for a while! 👍😊
Subbed 😀
Thanks mate!! Happy to have you here!
Is that brännö at 1:34?
Yes! Good eye!! And the clip right after is from here in Spain
nice share, I really like Sweden, the country is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a country with beautiful cities and classic culture, thank you for sharing your story, you look even more beautiful ..
You've been?! What was your favourite place? So I can go next time 😄
Zlatan?

Are you still in Gothenburg? I'm moving next week 😍
I wish!😂 Happy moving!!
For past one year I am living in Gothenburg, Nice cool Calm and beautiful place 👍
u were just outside my apartment :D
😂😂😂 good eyes!!
I liked the video but i felt the music volume could be little lower.
Cool feedback! Thanks mate!
So much beautiful ❤️
Maybe I have missed something but your last name means "The Mountains" (Berg = Mountain, Bergen = The Mountains). Seems like an unusual name for a Canadian, at least in my mind :)
Super cool you knew that! Not many people I meet do! One side of my family immigrated from Germany so that's where it comes from 😁
if you dont stop for a pedestrian on a crosswalk and the cops see it your fined.
As it should be right 😂
We didn't have that law a couple of decades ago. I remember when they talked about it, it would be like in Norway, they said. So Norway had it before us.
@@johnnyrosenberg9522 I think Spain could learn from Sweden then 😂😂😂
Gbg stad 💯🇸🇪🌨️
Your accent sound Swedish :)
I wish I could speak Swedish! 😆
@@NatashaBergen It can't be that hard, everyone here speaks it. 😁

All thanks to you lovely people!! :D
Not true this is only 2 days in summer
You can have a fika or beer on me anytime you like... 💙
A really bad question: How can you learn something about Sweden when you are only in Gothenburg which is 447.8 km² and has 579,000 inhabitants?
I do not want to quarrel with you in any way.
I just think the headline was funny considering that Sweden is over 146000 km² and has 10.2 million inhabitants.
Then comes the question, do you learn anything about Sweden by staying in Gothenburg? Maybe the Volvo cars are manufactured in Gothenburg.
Hope I was not ironic. In that case, I apologize.
Kind regards from the Swedish countryside!
Ps. You are a very beautiful woman. DS.
Fabulous question indeed! I don't for a second believe that I learned all there is to know about the astounding country in just 5 days in one city and from some islands. Perhaps it's more just that I really appreciate how different this part of Europe is to where I've been living lately. It's more, I was able to learn all of this in 5 days with an open mind and just chatting with the locals. Maybe a fair follow up video will be after I've road tripped the country and do a recount on what I've learned 😁😉 What do yah think?
@@NatashaBergen I just wrote the comment as a joke.
Do not worry about it.
I understand what you mean.
Follow up the video. That would be interesting though
you can find all the weird things that Swedes do.
I'm ringing the bell.
