Its really beautiful how in Norway on the constitution day they have children parade from each school in each city and town. Not military parade like in many other countries.

[@itsmebrysonp]

That was a very big difference! Almost every parade I have been to is filled with lights and sirens from police, firefighters, etc. And you leave with a headache from the constant whailing. It was nice seeing a parade dedicated to children and "the people". Thanks for the comment & have a great night/ day 🙂

[@perberger809]

@@bafattvahetere Seriously, no, Oslo has a lot to offer, culture and history. Don't be so narrowminded. Museums, architecture, shows, music, food and drink. I'm not from Oslo, but I know the city. People outside Oslo ignore that foreign tourists actually like to visit cities. They come to Norway for many reasons, not just our landscapes. Look it up, the research is clear. It's normal for rural people to dislike the capital city though, that goes for all countries, but it's an important part of the country.

I plan to visit much more of Norway in the future and know I'll for sure go to Bergen and Trondheim but I also want to enjoy and spend time everywhere in between too. This was definitely the first of many. I live in a fairly rural area where we still have have a large Amish community that use Horse & buggy. Cars, tractors and a horse & buggy is my normal every day traffic 🤣 I don't usually go to larger cities but do very much enjoy going to a new "big" city as there is so much to do and so many differences from city to city.

@@itsmebrysonp If stunning nature is what he wants to see, such as the northern lights, steep gigantic mountains and fjords- then he should go outside the cities in Norway. However if he likes museums, art etc. (typical city stuff) then he should visit the cities. And most of the biggest cities has more than enough to offer. I would anyways recommend other cities than Oslo because as an ex. Bergen/Trondheim/Stavanger each has more personality to it than just being a big european city as Oslo is. 🙂

Hey how cool is that? Thought you were going to end up in Malmö and crossing the bridge, yet you went to my old home town of Helsingborg to take the ferry to Denmark! I lived in Helsingborg from the mid 70s, until I moved to Scotland in 2002. Here's some trivia for you. When the train, ferry and buss terminal was built in the beginning of the 90s, they decided to built a an offshoot of the railway towards Denmark for the eventuality of a railway tunnel towards Helsingör. I was there when it was built and we planted all the trees and did the groundworks, like slabs and the cobblestones for the outside of the terminal building. Also, the boats you are on where diesel but converted to electricity and are about 30 years old, yet modern. Thank you for a very humble and interesting journey.

Fresh water is everywhere - just beware of lemen poo in highlands/tundra areas and avoid smaller ponds there - as well as berries, there's an unspeakable "bond" between all backpacker/hikers when you meet and it transcends nationalities, and this "friluftsliv" is core to the Norwegian national spirit. As well as leaving the place better than how you found it. :) No littering!!! And be prepared!

Seems like you had a great trip! I guess you're very used to driving everywhere, but next time have a try at taking the train. That way you can just sit back and relax and watch the scenery go by and arrive well rested. 🙂Our train network in Europe is much more extensive than in the US. I strongly recommend the Bergen-Oslo scenic train ride (7-8 hours). There's mountains and fjords everywhere around. I went on a round trip there a couple of years ago and it was amazing! Oslo-Myrdal (train), Myrdal-Flåm (train), Flåm-Bergen (boat on the fjords and coast), Bergen-Oslo (train).

[@itsmebrysonp]

We do not have a good public transportation system where I live so driving everywhere every day is my normal. I do know that I will be utilizing public transportation a whole lot more during my future travels. Aside from that is was a wonderful trip and worth every bit. Thanks for watching & commenting and have a great day! 🙂

Been waiting for footage of the 17th of May in Oslo 🙂 Nice of you to give your ticket away like that. Did you enjoy the parade?

[@itsmebrysonp]

I did enjoy the parade! It was much different than any parade I've been to. Almost every one I have been to is filled with lights and sirens from police, firefighters, etc. And you leave with a headache from the constant whailing. It was nice seeing a parade dedicated to children and "the people". Thanks for the comment & hace a great night/ day 🙂

[@silentdeath7847]

@@itsmebrysonp Nice to hear you liked it. The parade is for children. Like i said in another video it's only in Oslo there is a military part (as I know of) The kings guard that put theyr weapons on the ground and pick random ladies out of the crowd to dance with. Did you get to see that?😂

[@Drescher1984]

Good that you went to Bakken, it's more affordable then Tivoli and I find it less stressful.

[@martinericsson2055]

Tanks for visiting our countries /Sweden...

It was a wonderful trip and cannot wait to visit and spend even more time in the Nordic countries. Thanks for watching & commenting and have a great day! 😊

Welcome back! The very South of Sweden: Skåne - awaits you! A trip to the island of Ven, where the spaceprogram started… At the time Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe’s very precise observations led to his apprentice Johannes Kepler’s laws, that made it possible to travel out in space and return to earth…! 🌟 Beautiful nature and good food too! Love your two latest videos! Bye from 🇸🇪💗

[@eobi-edobi4275]

Hey Brysonm great video again, wish you luck on your other journeys, hope you visit the netherlands one day.

[@itsmebrysonp]

I visited Gothenburg many years ago with my friend. We had similar situation in Aeroseum. No other visitors, just two of us. We also visited Volvo museum and that was cool and fun. We eat out every evening and the food was spectacular. Especially local fish dishes. And if you like art, then Gothenburg Museum of Art is a must. I’ve been three times in Oslo and I love this City. Next time visit Stockholm and Helsinki. And if you are in Helsinki, then take a ferry and visit Tallinn also. Tallinn has very nice and well preserved old town, cool historical museums (in Seaplane Harbour museum you can go inside submarine) and rich heritage.

[@geirstianaaslund7141]

Tallinn and Estonia is a fantastic place to travel to.

[@helvete983]

Såve is a little outside Gothenburg so not always on peoples radar, I think a few flights do land there but the connections to the area are not so great, a very much under appreciated museum. Also consider the maritime museum in Malmo, they have an old fashioned submarine you can go inside.

[@itsmebrysonp]

It was really cool having the alone time at the Aeroseum to play with whatever I wanted and not be rushed. I will definitely be going to Stockholm and other parts of Sweden in the future. Finland will be a whole trip itself and will absolutely happen at some point. Thanks for watching, commenting & hope you have a great day! 🙂

[@matsv201]

yea, i would also like to ad doing a Baltic sea cruse ferry triangle is a great way to travle between the cities, with or with out car. (Sadly the Riga ferry have temporary been shut down due to aftermath to covid)

Next time Mr. Bryson, you must go up north in Scandinavia (and Finland). Awesome up there, very different from the south. Norway west (fjords) is a hit.

[@itsmebrysonp]

I will absolutely be travelling further North spending more time in the Nordic countries. Finland is definitely included 🙂 Thanks for watching & commenting and have a great day!

[@ChristianBlueChimp]

It's so great to see you exploring new cultures and sites. You seem very open to new places and people which is the way to travel. I hope you had a wonderful time here in Scandinavia.

[@mwtrolle]

10:14 is probably a good thing you experienced an underground hanger like that now, it might be activated again now when Russia has got more aggressive.

[@itsmebrysonp]

That's something I didn't even consider until now. I've read a lot about the hanger and that it is still capable of being activated if the need for it came. I'd hate to see the day we're in such a position for it to be active. Thanks for the comment & have a great night/ day 🙂

[@madhouse8301]

I particularly enjoy hearing your thoughts and impressions, whatever is going through your mind at the time, while showing us what you were up to. It brings this video up a level, so thanks for that. I hope you get to travel a lot more in the coming years. The girls too!

[@itsmebrysonp]

Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the presentation of my trip. There will definitely be a lot more travelling in the future and can't wait for whatever the future holds 🙂 I do plan to travel with my kids at some point as well. Mostly domestic to get them used to air travel. They're used to vehicle travel and we typically do 6 hour drives with only 2 stops. Once they're a bit older I'll take them to Canada as their first international trip and it'll be my first time going to Canada too. From there It'll be across the pond. I plan to be here for the long haul at this point. Thanks for your support, watching and commenting. Have a great day!

Fun Fact: In Denmark Norwegian residents celebrate May 17 by going to Tivoli. The women usually wear their bunad. My Grandmother was Norwegian, so we went every year.

[@itsmebrysonp]

That's really cool and definitely would not have guessed that 😄 Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great day!

So glad to see you finally made it to Sweden! I hope you had a great trip, and that you might be able to come back soon, and see more of Sweden, including Stockholm :) Also, Alla hatar Göteborgs trafik ;)

[@itsmebrysonp]

Wonderful trip overall and worth every bit of it. I will absolutely be visiting and exploring more of Sweden, including Stockholm. I do plan to spend more time in each place during future travels as well to enjoy more of what each destination has to offer. Thanks for the comment & have a great day!

@@itsmebrysonp looking forward to see more of your future trips to our neck of the woods! If you ever pass by a town called Nyköping (located 1 h south of Stockholm), I'd be more than happy to show you around. Best regards!

[@PerStenback]

@@itsmebrysonp If you do find your way to Stockholm and would like to try some more meatballs, there is a restaurant called Meatballs for the people. They have different kinds of meat that you choose from, some dependent on availability though, like moose, deer, reindeer, bear, wild boar, and of course the normal ones, beef, pork and veal.

[@JoeTheNorwegian]

Giving your ticket to that woman in Oslo, so she could get in, is a very "Norwegian" thing to do. We don't like petty officials telling us what to do!!

[@helvete983]

Very Scandinavian thing, They do this a lot in Sweden too. A quiet form of sticking it to the man!. :)

[@helenagreenwood2305]

I gave someone some wristbands to watch the bonfire here a few years ago (UK) we decided we'd had enough but the fireworks were about to be set off - on the way out we saw some people looking over the wall - I said have these and go inside they were so appreciate and happy to get in and have a proper view - giving is a good feeling ❤️

[@Mortac]

Too bad you couldn't come to Stockholm or Visby, but maybe next time? 🙂 Hope you had a good stay in Scandinavia!

[@helvete983]

Visby is a hidden gem. pain in the ass to get to but worth it.

[@itsmebrysonp]

I will definitely be going to Stockholm in the future and spending more than just a couple days. This is only the beginning of much more to come 🙂 Thanks for watching & have a great day!

[@itsmebrysonp]

@Helvete I'll keep Visby in mind and look into it when planning my future travels

[@magikurp2]

@@itsmebrysonp The whole island of Gotland is incredible, completely different vibe. Nature is different, the Swedish they speak is also quite unique among the Scandinavian languages (used to be its own branch on the language family three). You can take a ferry to Visby from Stockholm (train straight to Nynäshamn south of Stockholm). Hope you can visit both Stockholm and Visby in the future! Great video btw

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

Awesome that you had this trip! Fun to see you visiting some of the places I live and work! -I am an electrician by trade and do alot of work at Dyrehavsbakken. -So it really felt like you saw part of my world as you have shown me bits of yours through your videos!

Aeroseum is Kinda specisl to me, since my granpa used to work at F9(name of the base when it was in service), and he used to take me there.

[@itsmebrysonp]

Thank you for sharing that about spending time there with your grandfather 🙂 Hope you have a great day!

I had best friendship experience with people from Sweden and norway while i was living in Australia, we had a best social experience, we attend events and more together, wont forget my regards ☺️

[@scruffy7760]

Lol! Gothenburg is really an experience driving, especially since they constantly build new roads and redirect traffic 😂 I truly understand the frustration 🤣

[@itsmebrysonp]

It was crazy seeing my phone and the vehicle tell me to go straight when the only options are left or right. If it's the wrong choice you're now on a 1-way street and have to go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down here to turn around 🤣 But every bit worth the experience! I will utilize the public transportation options more when travelling in the future. Thanks for the comment & have a great day!

[@scruffy7760]

I remember one summer when me and the mates had been on a road trip. All of a sudden we started commenting on how rude other drivers were and that no one was following traffic regulations... Yup, we were back in Gothenburg 😂

[@katinkaridde-coffey6493]

Lovely to follow your adventures and listen to your reflexrions. I wish you could have spent more time but I am sure you will be back. ❤️

[@itsmebrysonp]

I will absolutely be coming back and spending a lot more time in the Nordic countries. Future travels I won't be trying to do a 3 country loop so that I can actually enjoy the individual culture of each destination. Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great day ! 🙂

It was fun to join your trip to Scandinavia, thank you Bryson! I completely agree with the traffic in Gothenburg, I live quite close and prefer not to drive in Gothenburg, I drive in Stockholm anyday haha. Next time you come here do not miss Stockholm, our beautiful capital

[@itsmebrysonp]

I will absolutely be coming back and spending more time in each place instead of being rushed. Even though I got to see & do a lot, it's hard to soak it in within a couple days. Stockholm is for sure one of my destinations 🙂 Thanks for watching & commenting! Have a great night/ day

Exciting to follow you around in the Nordic countries and see the life of us over here. When ever i travel it is mostly the architectures and history and nature that captures me. Resturants and all that is nice but the history of a country which ever it is, as you said is interesting to get to know.

[@itsmebrysonp]

Thank you for watching, commenting and happy you enjoyed my journey 🙂 Hope you have a great day!

[@Vinterfrid]

As a Swede I have to say that I have never seen a candy store without lids covering the goodies - I'd regard it as quite unhygienic. Then again, I have neer visited this particular candy store you visited. I am glad though that you found some goodies to bring home.

[@helvete983]

Yes I was thinking that too, every candy section in a supermarket has lids on the containers. Imagine licorice on a hot sticky day left in the open like that, yuck.

[@itsmebrysonp]

That's what I was thinking and assumed that's just the way it is 🤷‍♂️ especially with the front door wide open.

[@zApoiii]

Hemmakväll(Swedens biggest candystore) does not use lids.

[@zApoiii]

so it is common. Supermarkets use lids though

[@MarcelGomesPan]

I’m from Gothenburg but don’t live there right now. Nice to see ”home”. I think most people would agree with you about driving in that city. I know Swedes who have been trying to find their way for hours even with GPS.

[@itsmebrysonp]

Thank you for watching & commenting! I've been very surprised at the amount of people agreeing with the driving in Gothenburg. I knew it was rough but didn't know it was that common. Have a great day! 😄

[@vonnikon]

In Gothenburg it is better to use the trams. Or E-scooters.

[@MGDLProductions]

@@itsmebrysonp Gothenburg is divided i traffic zones and there is only some places in each zone where you can enter from a different zone. In some cases you need to travel 1 kilometer to get to the other side of the road. If you are parked outside of Nordiska Kopaniet (NK) for example and need to get to the opposite side to Natur Kompaniet, It will be a long ride with the car, but only a minute to walk. When you learn this (after perhaps 15-20 years) it is rather easy to travel in the city. Best way is to walk or use the trams, scooters or bikes. By the way at 6.24 if you would walk straight forward to the yellow brick house, you would end up where I live.
