    A little tip from a local: Flytoget (airport express train) is about twice the price of the regular commuter train, and only 2-3 minutes quicker.

      The commuter train is cheaper, but for comfort and convenience Flytoget is great. The Vy commuter trains can be somewhat crowded.
      Pro tip: most of the Flytoget cars have a little terminal where you can scan your boarding pass (Airline app should have it) and print luggage tags. If you've already done the rest of the check-in online or in the app, this saves you a little bit of time at the airport. No need to queue for the checkin kiosks, just go straight to bag drop 😄

      Flytoget is a scam as far as I'm concerned. For anyone not living in Oslo itself it's just never worth it

    I am a Bangladeshi🇧🇩 citizen Apoorba Rahman, one of the biggest wishes in life is to hope and live in Norway. I want to live a life of happiness, peace and harmony. I want to sow that seed there. I don't know when it will happen but I really want it. Norway is the country of dreams

    I've just returned from a fantastic 5000mile trip to the very top of Norway (starting near London U,K) I disagree with your comments about electric cars as did this in my own Tesla and had absolutely no problems at all! There was even a Tesla charger just 30km from Nord Kap! Even though i was born in NZ , Norway is my favourite country for road tripping .

    Hihi! It’s our first time in Norway and planning to visit in Nov. Is it easy to navigate via local tours and public transport? Would like to visit Oslo, tromso, lofoten islands and Bergen. Not comfortable driving during winter season. Any tips? May I ask what’s the average taxi price like in Norway? 😊 thanks for sharing all these helpful tips!

    • @SwankGuide
      @SwankGuide  3 месяца назад +1

      besides what I have in the vidoe... and I think I cover this... Uber's are genrallly much cheaper than taxi. You can get an estimate on the Yber app for a location so you might try that. Have fun.

  • @eckpolmick5080

    "People only ferry" = boat. An important tip not mentioned, when Norwegians say "ferry" that means "car ferry". Never ask a Norwegian about "ferry" when you mean "passenger boat".

      I would g o to Tromsø or perhaps Alta (Finnmark) in December, live in a hotel in the city and visit resorts in the region. Christmas vibes and good conditions for Northern Light.

    • @SwankGuide
      @SwankGuide  5 месяцев назад

      Hi there... guess it depends on how cold you like it.... and rain... I was there from mid September to mid October, I think a great time togo b/c you still get sunny days and by late September N lights are quite possible. Remember key to seeing N lights is no/minimal cloud cover, dark skys (i.e. June wont work), and solar activity... all those things have to line up. Good luck. I have a video in my Iceland series about chacing the N lights

    • @faust82
      @faust82 5 месяцев назад

      In southern Norway, November is likely the most miserable month. Cold, dark and wet, but without the Christmas vibe or the upcoming spring to look forward to.
      As for northern lights, sources differ. Some say November through January if you're going up north, others say late september/october and march/early april is statistically the highest activity periods.

      I have seen from other videos that you need a permit to fly it in most places. People have had trouble. But it might be different in different parts of the country, so its best to look it up if you are planning to fly one.

    Norwegians are stylish and well-dressed, hmmm, not sure if that is precise. Compared to average americans perhaps. but not compared the French and Italians. Norwegians are generally informal.

      Many people find vocal fry annoying and fake. It sounds privileged. Many rich people do not like or use vocal fry. Many do. However, it always sounds pretentious and show off.
