    Most Norwegian cities were build long the coast. Traditionally, the fjords and sheltered shipping lanes tied these places together. Shipping and fish export have been major trades ever since the viking age. While inland transportation was very slow and cumbersome. Except for some parts of inland Norway where big lakes and navigable rivers served the same purpose, making a large farming and logging sector possible. The inland towns along these waterways are nice, but not really remarkable. But one town missing on the list is Røros, an old, UNESCO-listed mountain mining settlement.

    Summer in Norway can be very warm up north to. We have almost always had nice warm weather when going to Norway. I strongly recommend a visit up north. I have never visited Norway south of Trondheim and I am sure the South is beautiful too. But as a swede living up north I have an easy access to northern Norway and it is always a pleasure visiting there.

It ia not Norway bur I would say its the closest thing you can get in the states. I would encourage you to take a look at Alaska sometime. You keep saying that the US has nothing like Norway but there are a good amount of similarities between Norway and Alaska. It might also be a bit more accessible for a visit for you. Specifically Southeast Alaska if you enjoy the Fjords and coastal cities of Norway. Thank you for sharing Norway with people who may have never seen or heard of the beautiful country and beautiful culture.

    That Cathedral in Trondheim is really nice. I was hoping to get you to react to two things at once. Aurora Aksnes is one of Norway's best singers, and she did an AMAZING Christmas concert inside that Church (Nidarosdomen). I'll link to the whole concert, but you can just react to 1 or 2 songs. Then you get to react to this amazing jewel of an artist, and you get to see how the cathedral looks and sounds inside. And she speaks in Bergen dialect for first 2 minutes so you can hear how that sounds too :) Pick whatever song you want cuz they are all amazing. (maybe slowly do them all :)) Anyway, have loved your journey through Norway. Keep up the good work! And if you ever want to come to Norway, I'll let you stay in our family cabin in Vaset (it's close to Vaset skicenter, if you wanna see where it is) It's a modern cabin with all facilities, many rooms and internet etc. :) Both summer and winter is great there. Link to Aurora: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioyK2aivm7G6dco.html I picked a version that has capture in english, even if Aurora sings in english. Many plp have reacted to this concert so I doubt you will have any copyright problems.

    I used to ride the tram in Trondheim every day when I was a student (for about a year). It's an interesting thing - because it takes you to the areas of the suburbs where it's too narrow for a buss to really get to. But, keep in mind Trondheim is rather small on an international scale. If memory serves the trip was about 20 minutes to reach the end station.

    Honestly Tyler; while it seems you're fascinated by Norway however - even as a Norwegian - there are PLENTY of similarly scenic places to visit without even having to cross the Atlantic! While I've heard all those ohs and ahs from tourists in Norway there's a highly underrated country where you'll find very similar landscapes and towns - the country of your frosty friends; Canada. I've travelled to Nordkapp and Lindesnes + most everywhere else in Norway, and while the country is indeed scenic I have on my trips to Canada seen a very similar and just as dramatic scenery. Also, Canadians are very friendly and proud of their country - IMO for good reasons - and with the vast variation of landscape, architecture, climate++ Canada makes a very sweet crossbreed of the best from both the Old and the New Worlds

    Yes, Norwegians travel to the "summer towns" - but it's not that much warmer than most of the rest of Norway (other than maybe the north). It's more to do with the "feeling" of these areas, as well as the coast being very attractive for the boat life, or a cabin close to the coast. Also "All by water" - well yes... Norway has the longest coastline in Western Europe. Longer than that of Island countries like the United Kingdoms. That's not to say there's not inland towns as well, but they tend not to be as big or developed - but well worth a visit too I might add.

    Indeed a lot is built on the coast... 2nd to 5th longest coastline and a maritime tradition that goes back more than 1000 years. At several occasions in world history (and I suspect it is so again today), the Norwegian merchant marine has been the largest in the entire world. Before oil (and still constituting a huge chunk of exports) fish and sea products and expertise was the main export and source of riches. The nation is broken up by a large mountain chain (some farmers took cattle for grazing across glaciers; calculating in some "waste" doing so (some cattle would fall down cracks and die). Other times it was traversed on skis. Seafaring was the main source of connection and trade. This is also why Norway has so many dialects. Different ways of speaking but a common identity.

    In Norway you can walk any wear in nature. We have something called "friluftsloven" or "the Open Air Act". It is an act law thing wich say that a person should be able to walk and stay anywhere in nature for at least three days. If you stay longer, it needs to be on either ground where no one goes or owned by the state. Anyone is allowed to pack their tent and fishing rod on their back and just dissapear to a lost lake in the mountains for three years to come back as a changed human, or if they wanna spend the rest as their life as the hermit by the lake, they are allowed. As long as it is national ground. If a farmer owns the land, they might want you out. People aren't allowed to build by the shore line anymore because of it. Siticens should be allowed to use the beaches and stuff.

    Kristiansand (the summer city with the beach) is almost as far south as you can get in Norway, to the southwest of Oslo. Despite this it’s latitude is just some 200 miles south of Anchorage in Alaska 😲. The climate here in Scandinavia is quite a bit milder than at the same latitudes in North America. This is largely due to the influence of the Atlantic Gulf Stream, which transports warm water from the Gulf of Mexico up along the east coast of the USA approximately up to Virginia where it then diverges towards northern Europe. It passes north of Ireland and Scotland and continues along the coast of Norway. It then turns south and instead transports cold water from the polar region down the west coast of Greenland to the east coast of Canada / USA.

Kristiansand and the south coast is quite dead and according to Numbeo Kristiansand also has the most crime thus being in the most religious region of norway. Thats why i guess?

The small city also lies on the waterfront on an island surrounded by other islands. Close to Hammerfest is on of Norways lagest natural gas export terminals, pumping gas onboard gas tankers for export to the world market. This far north the sun shines for more than 60 days without setting in the summer (the period of the midnight sun or midnattsol in norwegian). In the winter we have the polar night lasting the same, with northern lights on clear days. Norwegian cities was historically built on the coustline because of trade by sea and fishery.

    There is one particular statue in the Vigeland's park that attracts most vandalism: "Sinnataggen" (Not sure what to call it in English - "The Raging Baby" possibly 🤣). It's been painted over on several occasions - first time as early as 1947 - and in 1992 it was even stolen, but found after 6 days. In 2021 it was attempted stolen again. It is the most famous statue, and unfortunately also the smallest, anyone can basically just carry off with it...

    I have never really thought about it, but maybe Norways cities are all by the sea. Gjøvik, Hamar and Lillehammer isn't though, but it depends on how big your city has to be, because the government gave up on classifying who should be a city and a village years ago. For some reason all villages wants to be a city in Norway. I live in the capital and think villages are exotic as long as I don't have to live there.

    All of those are also by the water, though, beside Norway's biggest lake Mjøsa. Many of Norway's inland towns are also by water, either a lake or a river. I have a hard time thinking of a city that doesn’t have a river, lake or sea close to it. Kongsberg, Skien, Porsgrunn, Elverum, Kongsvinger, Otta, Oppdal, Røros, Dombås, Bardufoss. They all have rivers 🤯 I challenge you all to find a city without water through it or in very close proximity.

    The most common comments about Vigelands sculpture park is: Oh they are all nude, its indecent... Lmao There have been sculptures that have been damaged unfortunately, but they have been repaired The building isn't necessarily built on the water, but it's often built very near the water

    Tyler never reads comments, so this is to anyone considering going to Norway: Yes, most of the cities are alongside the shore. Top three cities to visit in Norway: Oslo, Bergen, Tromsø. None of the other "large cities" have anything you can't see in any other European city. Like in Trondheim - you can see the Nidaros cathedral, but it was inspired by Notre Dame in Paris. It's older than the US as a country, but still, there's nothing more to see there. Røros is a nice inland "city" - it's the coldest inland city in Norway, and has a lot of great architecture. If you visit Oslo, and take the metro up to Frognerseteren - please be respectful of us who live there. It's the smallest train on the metro line in Oslo, and while we appreciate tourists, we also appreciate sitting down to have a rest and not having to hear shouting after a long day of work.

    I'm very much biased, due to where *I'm* from, but I don't find Oslo peaceful. It's got a lot of that metropolitan city stuff going on - drawing in a lot of progressives etc. Which makes me always feeling like everything is a bit "on edge" when I walk around there. Most other cities are a lot more relaxed.

    The culture capital is a EU thing and it's a year you get to promote your city for Europeans. The country see it as an opportunity to plan cultural events, and Bodø has probably worked hard to get it.
