I just return from a 7 day vacation from Norway. The country is beautiful, and you're right the food and drinks are EXPENSIVE and not much to write home about. I thought the people are very nice. We arrived at Oslo and drove west to hike at Kjerag, Pulpit Rock and Manafossen waterfall. The road trip was very scenic. We passed by lots sheeps in the middle of highway 450.

* In Norway you don't really have to pay tip. That is why peope who works at restaurants etc, don't  stand over you and bother you while you're eating. Norwegian shate that. We like to eat and drink in peace, without having some server come and bother us all the time. In the US, restaurants and bars are basically built around the concept that the employes salary are in large part, tip based.

I actually found the service in Norway to be absolutely lovely... but then again I live in Czech republic who tend to emphasize the hospital part of the word hospitality... because that's where you will end up if you make the waiters do something.

He said our food i kind of blah, but he kept showing boring café sandwiches and cakes and stuff. We do have real food too. Go try a real norwegian meal like ribbe, fårikål, king crab, kjøttkaker and the list goes on

my husband and I are from Canada and we visited Bergen and Trondheim, Norway, this past May. I think the reserved nature and sense of personal space of the Norwegian culture is very similar to what we experience here in many places in Canada, so I didn't find it as much of a culture shock while we were there. I found it quite comfortable and familiar.

It’s a great place to go if you don’t like a lot of people. There aren’t many people there outside of Oslo, Trondheim or Bergman. I found it very peaceful. And I love that the people give you space.

Great, factual video! I'm Norwegian, and the only thing that was missing in this video, is the amount of incredibly beautiful people, both men and women!

The beggars aren't from Norway... they come to Norway because Norwegians are rich, helpful and kind

Kvikk Lunsj and Kit Kat are not the same. The Kit Kat has a darker and more "heavy"  digesting flavour, while the Norwegian Kvikk Lunsj has a lighter milk chocolate and easier to digest.

Things you will like about Norway-
#6: speaking of beautiful, the people are beautiful, as in attractive looking.

We don't wear a bunad on weekends and festivals. Only May 17th, baptism, confirmation, and sometimes in weddings. And in a few other cases, but not often 😉

[leerush]

Didn't sound super expensive to me, but then again, I'm used to NYC...Not much different so I'm good to go! Norway here I come 😎

[Mugtree]

I love Norway. Been there loads, have Norwegian friends and Norwegian family. To be honest I've never found it expensive, quite reasonable but I guess it depends where you come. When I'm in Norway I tend to live like a local. Fantastic, fantastic country ❤️🇳🇴👍

I don't know why, but I feel so drawn to Norway! Therefore, I suppose I better start saving up! Hahahah!

Thanks for the video, sir! :)

[chrisdean]

I'm from the heartland of the United States but for some reason, I feel drawn to Norway and I can't explain why. Nice video!

[chrisvinci]

Ive visited 6 times. Was affordable because if you make the effort the people are very friendly, and always invited me back to visit.

We visited on a UK cruise ship, so had all of our meals on board. On one of the
Norwegian ships you will pay more for a bottle of water, than you will with wine.
We went in June and it was comfortably warm, only rain was in Bergen. It's a lovely
country.

Viewed from an extremely American perspective. Who says people will "hate" that the weather is cool? That servers don't behave like personal slaves? That there's drunkeness on the streets? Every single city in the world that I've seen has a few baggars, that's just life in the 21st century.
