American Reacts to AWESOME Things to do in Tromsø, Norway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2022
- I have not had the opportunity to react or learn about some of the areas in Northern Norway which is exatly why I am very excited to see some of the awesome things available to do in Tromsø, Norway. So far most the Norwegian cities I have react to ahev been nothing short of amazing so I have some very high expectations for Tromsø as well. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
The Midnight sun is “the opposite” of the Northern lights. The Midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer, above the Arctic Circle, when the sun never sets. In Tromsø this last for 2 month. But the “price” we pay, is of course the Polar night, where the sun is below the horizon and never rises for 2 month. But the darkness makes it ideal for seeing the Northern lights.
You're going to confuse his little brain and cause it to explode.
SANT TROMSØ BRODER
They call Tromsø the Norwegian Paris,but for me Tromsø is ten times better than Paris and I know sinse I have lived in both cities. 3 years in Paris and 7 in Tromsø.
@@olarksundkinn4329 sorry, have to correct you: it's Paris of the North ( nordens Paris) not Norwegian Paris.
15:45 ("they don't have that in America"). Well, as a matter of fact: Iditarod and Yukon Quest are 2 of the biggest/longest sled dog races in the world, and they both take place in the US.
I live in Tromsø.
On top of the island there is a weather station with a huge polar bear on display.
When it comes to the mountains and fjords - In this part of Norway you are almost always standing at the foot of a mountain or at the edge of a fjord.
Our topography is very uneven to say the least but the mountains are more modest in size than you would expect but there are a lot of them.
If you go to Tromsø and go up the cable car do NOT go outside the fenced of area (Especially during winter).
There have been plenty of tourists that slipped on the ice and fell down the mountain. Tragic.
As for winter i will tell you a story. I was 16 in 1997. I was dumb enough to go across the bridge during a blizzard and the wind was so strong i felt as though i was growing lighter.
On the way home me and my dad had to drive in a convoy of vehicles to Balsfjord. The blizzard blew snow into the engine compartment till the air filter got clogged.
If we had not stopped to dig the snow out the engine would have stalled in Lavangsdalen (a desolate valley).
The snow was flying so thickly that we could only see the end of our cars front hood and the emergency lights of the car in front of us.
Buildings by the side of the road where just vague lights and shadows in the darkness.
Fortunately that blizzard was an exception and neither me or my dad ever experienced anything like that again.
I come from Sørøya. And i can confirm that the winther in 1997 was crazy 👀 Er had snow to the roof of the garage, and used that as a sled 🤪
The æ is pronounced you pronounce the vowel sound in "that". The ø is pronounced like your vowel sound in bird. The Å is pronounced like you pronounce core. There you have all the letters that are missing from your alphabet! 😊
And dogsledding is absolutely a thing in Alaska!
I would say “æ” is best described as the vowel sounds of “are” maybe, as native English speakers pronounce “that” with a very short flat “a” sound… but then again, I live in Finnmark so maybe it’s different for you Kari 😊
@@2wildfeet I struggled more with that than I did the other two. Try to listen to Tyler when he talks. The thæt is undeniable in American English. I had very British English orientated English teachers in elementary and middle school, so I agree with you. But since Tyler is American, I tried to explain the American English pronunciation the best I could. Americans don't say that in my ears, they say thæt. And people from New Zealand would probably say thit.... 😂
Aha…you’re smart. Thanks for that explanation. I stand corrected 😂
I visited Tromsø from the UK this summer and it is quite possibly my favourite place on Earth.
5:53 The harpoon guns actually move, you can spin them round and point them at your friends if you so insist.
9:41 We saw reindeer at the top of Fjellheisen and also further south in Kilpisjärvi, walking along a road. They are surprisingly common to see in in the Sápmi region and seem relatively unfazed by humans too.
10:57 I found Polaria a little underwhelming; it is very small and feels like it could use a bit of TLC in some places. It's expensive but still worth visiting as a tourist because it focuses solely on marine life that is specific to the Arctic.
12:10 I would say that the Lyngen Alps are equally impressive to look at from neighbouring islands, such as Reinøya, where you can see a long row of huge mountains on the horizon.
Tromsø city at night, seen from the air is spectacular. I have flown into and landed in Tromsø in the evening in winter, and it is a wonderful sight, the lights of the city on the island surrounded by the black sea. Cannot be described, must be experienced.
I love how positive you are at every reaction you do 🥰
I am not sure if you are an average American any longer with all the videos you have made of Norway! You know a lot more now than the average American :)
By the way, I live in Tromsø and I love it here.
Those reindeer are not wild. We only have a few herds of wild reindeer left and they live in the mountains in the south of Norway. Those reindeer on Kvaløya is owned by one single sami family. The reindeer often walk down into the residential area and walks among people, dogs, bikes and cars. Sometimes they act like they know the traffic laws of humans; they walk in line on the sidewalks and when they want to cross the street they stop and look to both sides and wait for cars to stop to let them cross the road....
In the summer I see them weekly. Now that the winter have startet they go back up into the mountains again. We are pretty used to see them around on here. The coat of arms for Tromsø municipality is even a reindeer.
Truly one of the most spectacular cities in Norway! Crazy how the city just stop at the foot of all those mountains, almost don't look real
Som musiker turnerat Tromsö, faktiskt från Mandal till öarna ovanför. Att säga att jag älskar Norge och Norrmännen vore en underdrift.
Yes it is like a fantasy world. Lofoten is perhaps the most beautiful place on earth. A little south of Tromsø and on islands with alps and turquoise beaches and viking vibes. Crazy
I’ve been to over 25 countries and live in Norway. I spent this summer in Lofoten and I totally agree it is the most beautiful place on earth. That’s a big statement I know, because Iceland is right up there and besides I’m Australian, and we DO have extreme beauty also. But seriously Lofoten and Senja are next level….
The midnight sun is not another name for northern lights. It is a different natural phenomenon when the sun remains visible for the whole night or for most of it. It happens for a few months in summer inside the north and south pole circles. It's the opposite of the polar night when in winter the sun never rises. I'm not an expert so sorry if I didn't explain it correctly but you should look into it more!
That’s a good description. It remains light all night for about four months in summer and dark most of the day for about three months in winter. It’s a big adjustment if you did not grow up in the Arctic
Your explanation is good, but I must add that the definition of midnight sun requires that the whole sun is fully over the horizon all night ....not just partially or nearly ....but it doesn't do much difference in how bright it is during the minimum of the sun's trajectory over the sky. The above mentioned requirement also defines where the Arctic Circle are to be found at 66 dgr latitude N 33 (arc)min 42+(arc)sec. The equivalent is also so for the Antarctic ....as you said. I would also add that the North and South Poles are specific geographic points (not areas) ..... the ultimate north and south points on the planet at 90 dgr latitude N or S. The Arctic and Antarctic are huge areas within the polar circles ....not pole circles ...but it might just be a typo mistake from you .... The Arctic and Antarctic is circular areas around the poles that has a radius of around 2600 km .... That makes the area to be over 21 million sq. km or well over 2 times the size of Europe or bigger than the combined size of USA and Canada....
I'm looking forward to my Tromsø trip in 2 weeks from now :) Was there on my Hurtigruten trip in April but that was only for 4 hours, but now I'm staying for a week to experience Tromsø by winter, go whale safari, hope to see more northern light 😍
As a Swedish musician, I toured Tromsö. Like long-haired hippies, we looked at hugely expensive wristwatches in a shop window. The owner looked at us. Soon, after a walk, we returned to the shop window. Then all the jewels and wristwatches were taken away. Love Norway. Norrmännen vet hur att försvara sig mot svensken.
😂 Han vart skræmt, da 😂
Midnight sun means that the sun doesn't go down. It's like daytime at 2am
9:26 Haha, no, you're wrong there, an hour and a half trip is nothing. It is common for mountain-accustomed Norwegians to go on trips that last up to 5-6 hours.
Plenty of dogsledding in Alaska btw ;) The Iditarod is a famous annual dogsled race that is more than 900 miles long.
The floating sauna is so that people can "heat up" before swimming in the sea. The water temperature rarely exceeds 10 °C (that is 50 °F), so it's good to have a sauna close if you like to go swimming in Tromsø 🙂
Hi Tyler, since you have been making the rounds trough different Norwegian cities, I was hoping you would want to react to the oldest city in Norway, my city of birth, the city of Tønsberg! It is over 1000 years old and one of the most popular summer destinations for a lot of south/east Norway :)
Agreed! I live here now and its amazing in the summer at least 🤪
Well now, i happen to be born and live in this city, it's basically the only big island of civilization for a while around, and has everything you really need, but perhaps not that much variety, its only about 80k people in the area after all.
Winter also lasts from November to April, but the tranquility, midnight sun and northern lights make it very special for people who haven't grown up there.
If you want to see some "hard" mountain trails, check out Kilian Jornet running around on mountains in Romsdalen :)
Or you could check out Kilian Jornet (or others) running to Hamperokken in Tromsø Skyrace! It is not for "normal" people :-). For "normal" people, I think a hiking trip to Tromsdalstinden (the mountain in the back of the Arctic cathedral in the beginning of the video, 2:30) is considered to be hard.
No. Weirdly, this video is not about Romsdalen, but you just couldn't resist.
When being in Tromsø, you should go to Svalbard. There are direct flights to Longyearbyen that is situated closer to the North Pole than any town in Alaska, Canada and Siberia. You can find several videos about Svalbard on UA-cam. Take a look and choose to react to some of them.
As I have said before...I LOVE these videos where I get your reactions on our country! :)
Tromsø is amazing. I gave my kids a christmaspresent last Christmas. I took them to Tromsø and we got to do reindeersleed trip, husky dog trip and meet the Sami People Who told us about their culthure. We slept in tent who hadca fireplace, we slept on reindeerskin, and we got to see the northern light. There was an American couple there and some from China and Japan. I'm Norwegian. Tone from Norway 🇧🇻
Just as a perspective: Tromsø lies basically at the same latitude as the northern coast of Alaska, at 70 degrees north
69°N to be precise, because I live north of Tromsø at 70°N 😅
I've been to Tromsø once in may and as a Norwegian living close to Oslo it was incredibly cold(even in may)❄️🥶. Also incredibly sureal to have sun 24/7😳🌞
Love your videos! ❤️
Think you should check out Senja, Lofoten, Svalbard, Geiranger and Helgelandkysten. 👍🏻
A good way to find out more of the coast of Norway, and learn things about all of these places, i’ll recommend Hurtigruten or Havila Kystruten. These companies are «cruiseships» that travel up and down the coast from Bergen to Kirkenes, and have 34 stops along their trip 🤙🏻
Tromsø is absolutely amazing, much because of the people, they're just incredible. I've been to Tromsø 6 times, and I will be going back soon :)
it owns the most northern brewery in Norway called Mack and they sell things like beers soft drinks energy drinks and more
Tromsø is I think quite historic from world war 2 also
I live in Tromsø, and it was so fun seeing you enjoy the video 😊👍
Hi
Ø is the old pronunciation of island, so therefore most places that have an ø at the end of their name are an island. 😉
Regards
Kjell
That floating sauna has a triangular rack built around it. It resembles a traditional rack for drying fish. Stockfish is a large export from noway.
The "thing" you ask about is actually a floating sauna but the roof is inspired by fish racks that we use to dry our fish on. Its called Hjelle or Hesje.
The construction on top of the floating sauna is probably a replica of a stand for drying fish. Dried fish is an important export item from Northern Norway, and is the basis for the dish Bacalao, which originated in Spain. The city of Bergen in the south/western part of Norway was founded on the trade in dried fish. The merchants of Bergen received shipments of dried fish from the north, and shipped it out to the world.
Nidarosdomen er også bygd med penger fra tørrfisk salget.
Its great fun for me to watch how you enjoy this video, and then look out my window and see Tromsø, the water and the mountains just outside
Last time I visited the Mack pub I woke up the next day in Kautokeino with no idea how I got there...
you should explore the term "Midnight sun" summers up north is the most amazing. sitting having a sunbading session going at 2AM is amazing
I like youre videos😄 Im from norway if you like Mountains you should make a video about Lofoten and there are two beautiful beaches here surrounded by mountains
"1,5 hrs is a long hike!"
Oh, my sweet summer child.
I have been following you for a while. It's funny to see people from outside react to Norway and our customs. Was very happy that you liked Tromsø my hometown! Keep up your good work!👍
This is the town that i want to move to, I grew up in Norway but I am not a Norwegian citizen I am British. And Brexit shattered my dream of moving there 😔 Unless I find a Norwegian woman I can marry!
Go for it 😊
3 hours hike is not that much🙂I really enjoy your videos, make me smile, and sometimes giggle at your reactions. Your interest in our country is amazing and fun. Welcome to visit.
There is a free walking tour everyday from 10AM outside the Tromsø cathedral in the city center. The guide speak 3 different languages (English, Italian and Spanish).
Tyler.
If you like snow and winter please visit north and north west of norway in winter for best experience. All of norway is great in summer. Even Alta is lovely in summer.
When are you coming to visit us?
Hey Tyler, I would love to see you do a video reacting to the city of Lillehammer. It’s a small, but very interesting city in the east of Norway. The 1994 Winter Olympics were held in Lillehammer and therefore it’s a popular spot for tourists and winter sports lovers during the winter.
Nice video. I live in Tromsø. This was great.
hey, i live there!
also, i used to live on "Sommerøy", and went on the mountains around there very often.
Reideer are very common in norway and tourists love to take pictures of them. not long ago i saw a moose outside my house!
Have been following you for a while now and really appreciate your openness and honest thoughts. That We Swedes love Norway and the Norwegians is no secret. We have typical "Norwegian stories" (jokes) and Norwegians the same about us Swedes. Like, for example: When a Norwegian checks if the blinker works = "works... doesn't work... works... doesn't work...
Er glad i dere svenske søstre og brødre 😂❤️
Finally one from the place i only live 1 hour from.
yes i agree with the comment, they showed tromsø pretty good :) its funny that i found you yesterday and today you uploaded this (reaction to my city)
Awesome of you to finally react to my home town :D
For dog sledding in North America, read about the "Iditarod Race". Great competition with a great history behind it.
That triangle buidling is a church in Tromsø.
Midnight sun and northern lights are not the same, Tyler.
The most difficult/hardest dog sleigh race is actually in America😅 the midnight sun is in summer and the northern light is in winter. The aquarium and the museum is not in the same building😂
The aquarium is in the Polaria museum. The old aquarium doesn't exist anymore (I think)
Norway has many towns/places ending with the letter Ø, short for the word Øy which means island.
You have that in Canada all so. Snow and mountains northern lights.
The beer! No, no joke. Has a taste beyond...
There's a reason why Tromsø colloquially is called "the Nordic's Paris"
Amazing city Tromsø is, I have not been there yet, but I will visit I can promise you😍💫🙏⭐️💖
ahh the O with the slash though it
So Tyler, have you made a plan for your travel to Norway? I hope you will have the possibility to come to Norway. I will do all i can to make you welcome. Just get in contact, so we can start to make plans fpr you to see as much of Norway as possible. Have a great week from Jan in Norway
Ø = "Ea" in Early. I guess...I'm sure some1 will correct me, but ur on the right track with that
You might just become fit if you visit. Just remember to walk in the track shoes a few days before you start walking. Bring extra socks, a wind jacket (don't walk with it on. It's for when you stop) and water if there isn't a spring on the hike. Some hikes I've been on lasted from dawn til dusk, so I guess a hard trek might be something like that? I never looked at the difficulty ratings.
Tromsø is beatiful so proud to be from Tromsø I love my city.♥️😊
5:51 its a sauna inside the building for winter and summer Tyler Walker
The letter "ø" in 'Tromsø' means island. Tromsø - Troms-island. The whole island is the city of Tromsø.
Yep. Was going to go to Longyearbyen but then learned from robdoesitall that he things Tromsø has better view of northern lights. Svalbard is just too far north. Then seeing the diversity of things to do I think Tromsø during the winter and Longyearbyen during the summer and you have seen the best of Norway. Oslo anytime lol.
You obvious got that Tromsø is in northern Norway, but you seem unaware of how far north it really is. To compare it is almost as far north as Prudhoe Bay on the very northern edge of Alaska. Latitude wise is Tromsø only 37 miles further south ....and is far north of for example Fairbanks. To drive from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay it is around 500 miles.
Fairbanks has a population of a bit over 31000 (google) while Tromsø has almost 2,5 times more population with over 75000 inhabitants.
There is always Kongsvinger fortress to Kongsvinger is the city that have have had most kings in it after Oslo
The midnight sun is when the sun is up all Day and on the night. It dose not go down. Btw, I also live in Tromsø
"we don't have dogsledding in America" i guess Alaska is a part of Russia again?
Ukraine is proving difficult so they went for Alaska instead.
Tromsø is the Paris of the North 🥳🥳
Norwegian natur is God creation to mankind 🤩😁Greetings from Norway 🥰
5:49 it's a floating sauna

The harpoons is from when whales was fished. Still going on actually. It looks dramatic and intense, when they shoot the harpoons. It's ironic, how it still allowed, cause of some agreements we didn't agree on, not banning it. there is not a lot of it, but some.
Btw dude. You do have dog-sledding in the US. In Alaska the world longest and thougest race is eve: Iditarod. Alaska,
My hometown 😀
a hard hike is going to Trolltunga
Totally agree. I went in June with deep wet snow, fog, rain, very windy and some snow falling. Was the hardest hike of my life. Hehe. Totally worth it though 🎉
Fjell Heisen roughly translation you can say Mountain lift or whatever or just go by the normal word cable car or whatever it said
The funny thing is that most of those commenting your reactions are from those places you react on. Including me now.... 😄
I BEEN ON THE AIR PORT MSNY TIMES FO TO WORK . BUT NEVER IN THE CITY
Can you do a video on the city aalesund?
Ålesund is one of the most beautiful towns in Norway
I am from Tromsø its so cool
Hiking for a whole day is a very special thing to do. Your brain is empty and it's better than meditation!
They don't have dogsledding in America? Never seen that animated movie, Balto? Based on a true story, up in Alaska. Granted Togo was the top dog, for sure!
Thaaank youuu😊😊😊
I was born in Tromsø, but I liv in Kristiansand. My dad and His big family of 9 siblings liv in Tromsø, minus 1 sister how liv in Swiden and 1 broder and Stister how livs in Trondheim.
Hello from Tromsø😁😁
Middnight sun,means that there is no nights from april until august- polar days..and afrom october to january there is no sun just darkness.
I'm there now🇧🇻
the "Ø" is sort of the "uh" sound
Maybe you can look at stuff about the controversy about the Norwegian TV show newton? Americans went wild over the fact they showed naked people on a show about puberty and reproduction, I think it would be interesting to read about
Contact me if you need to rent a room or apartment in Tromsø. By regular rent prices it's 3 month minimum for rooms and 6 months minimum for apartments. Exceptions with short time rental (less than 30 days total). Rooms, apartments and stationary RVs, be in touch if you are visiting.
hai! i live in tromsø!!
Hard is tromsdalstinden it is 1248 meters ower sea level
Paris of the North ❤️
YOU SHOULD DO ONE ABOUT RUSS
The are 3 letters in the Norwegian Alphabets that the English language doesn’t have and that is these 3 letters: Æ, Ø & Å.
Maybe use a google translate to get the pronunciation of these letters.
Ø is pronounced similar to earn, urn or Ur. Except Ø is more open in the mouth.
The ø isn't more open than the vowel of the English "earn", but it is rounded, and also pronounced more to the front of the mouth. As a Norwegian English teacher, that is one of the things I've found Norwegian students of English struggle quite a lot with - relaxing their vowels.
@@gunnfredriksen yes, that is what I meant by open in the mouth unlike mouth more open. Also I think the Ø has less tongue than the vowel in bird and urn.
"Æ" like in "bad", "Ø" like in "burn", and "Å" like in "poor".
You shal go there
Been there 3 times
Do Lofoten in Norway
