Festival of Europe: Scandinavia

In January 2023, European travel expert Rick Steves hosted a series of free, fun virtual events to inspire travelers to their next European adventure.
Rick is joined by Oslo-based tour guide Pål Bjarne Johansen for a virtual trip to Scandinavia - Europe's most prosperous, pristine, and progressive corner. We'll sample Stockholm's royal grandeur, Copenhagen's fun-loving pedestrian center, Denmark's Ærø - a small island with ship-in-a-bottle charm, Oslo's proud maritime museums, the ruddy-cheeked harbor town of Bergen, Norway's astoundingly beautiful fjord country, and other highlights of our Best of Scandinavia tour.
Recorded 1/13/23. Promotions may no longer be valid. #festivalofeurope #ricksteves

I'm a huge fan of Pål, his work and his videos. Nice to see you together and shining a light on all this. So much information.

I have followed Rick Steves´ Travel for a long time; Your book on Venice was invaluable when I visited Venice for three weeks in 2014. Also, I have been following Pål´s KZbin channel for over a year because of my interest in Norway, The highlight of this video however was hearing Pål´s announcement of his upcoming marriage and seeing/hearing Rick´s endearing reaction. Happy 2023 to All!

Thanks for watching the show Robert! I just had to announce it when I saw the photo of the wedding room in the City Hall :)

It's nice here, but as you might know quite cold and dark in the winter.

[@norwaywithpal]

I hope you’ll make it over here some day soon 😊
