- Watch this video to experience a Norway Travel Adventure entirely on Public Transportation!
Over the course of three days, we’ll make our way across Norway’s rugged West. We’ll travel through fjords, down treacherous mountain roads, and over beautiful glacier-fed rivers. And we’ll do it all on public transportation.
We’ll start in Ålesund where we’ll step onboard the Geirangerfjord II Ferry to travel through three of Norway’s fjords in three hours.
Day two, we’ll hop onboard a public bus in Norway with a twist. We’ll travel from Geiranger to Åndalsnes passing along some of the most incredible scenery of the trip. We’ll even traverse the world famous Trollstigen Road!!
Day three finds us onboard a couple of trains in Norway! We’ll travel first from Åndalsnes to Lillehammer and then transfer to another train to Oslo!
In this video, you’ll see everything you can experience on this Norwegian Travel adventure! And, if you want to book these experiences, here’s how:

Thanks 😊we are weary lucky
Can confirm!
a WOMAN SENT TO PRISON FOR ANTI TRANNY OPINIONS, NOT SUCH A WONDERFUL COUNTRY.
I keep reminding myself about that.
Yes except for the cold
Heija Norge!!! 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
I married a Norwegian and she was laughing at you trying to pronounce Geirangerfjord! But if it makes you feel better, she laughs at me anytime I try to pronounce anything. 😆😆
Such beauty and you captured it well!
Would I take a trip like this only using public transit? You bet! I love letting someone else drive/pilot, etc while I enjoy the views!! Looks like you both had a great time! Definite add to my long bucket list!!
Yup
Im planning to walk/piblic transport in norwayvin oktober u can come with me?
Yeah there are positives but those stoppage time limit during bus trips are unfair. With so much beauty to take in you need plenty more time & thats we drove toyota yarris hybrid. Its took on the terrain quite well and cause of tiny size curvy roads wont any problems
@@johnsingh5943 For sure, being in full control of your trip is great. Some roads are better for doing the driving yourself (Highway 1 in California). This trip in Norway....maybe like you said, it's easier in a small car. Guess I'll have to try both. Haha.
As a retired air line employee. I enjoy all your travel vlogs. But now that you have included rail, bus, and boat. I'm enjoying them all. There lots of places I haven't been to. Norway is one. Thank you Jeb, I really enjoyed this.
My father was born in Oslo. I have always wanted to go to Norway but…. Thank you for this. You do an excellent job in narrating and giving us the tour. Thank you. 😊
I wonder what would be involved in getting a second citizenship. Some countries honor relatives place of birth.
@@susanrichardson8035 I don’t know. But it is kind of cool to think about. Especially since I am first generation USA born.
What an amazing travel vlog. The videography is top-notch. I rarely watch travel vlogs but your videos are so much fun plus you have such an amiable personality. The roughly 18 minutes video just felt like a 5-min one. Keep up the amazing work!
I couldn't agree more, Prison Mike. Best part is that there were no Dementors.
@@sethrdee You my friend are the belle of the ball.
And just like that, Norway moves up my must visit list!
I’m so glad it’s gotten higher. Such unbelievable landscapes!!
@@GreenerGrass and your body is a wonderland as John Mayer once sang ..
@@GreenerGrass have you been in Croatia ??
As a Norwegian, i gotta love your pronunciation of Norwegian places! Good video too!
you have just given me an idea for short trip in the summer of 2023. i will save the description of this video! (London based, so Norway is not that far!)
This video deserves at least 5 million likes
Yes, I wish it was much longer.
Jeb...you guys make the best travel videos...THANKS from NZ
Even as a Norwegian I am astounded by the views on this trip.
I don't know what I loved more, the scenery, or the fact that your lovely bride was wearing a Rick Steves shirt!
Great video, as always 😀.
If you want a little bit better train experience, chanche train in Dombaas to the Trondheim-Oslo train. This is a long distance train, and a little bit better than the intercity-train from Lillehammer 😉.
Thank you for visiting my homecountry Norway and being so enthusiastic 😁
I love Norway 🇳🇴 ❤
Definitely preferable to let the expert drive on that road trip !!! This was a very nioce video- thankyou, very enjoyable & nicely produced. I am now 82, given up traveling, and this was a treat !
Public transport is sometimes the simplest way to go. Trains or buses are sometimes the only way to get to places that are well worth a visit when you you don't have the $$$ to hire a private car or rental or just want to enjoy the simple pleasure of the journey. We've done this to visit Hallstatt, Austria, to take one of the scenic trains in Switzerland on our way to the Lauterbrunnen Valley, to visit Neuschwanstein (and other castles) in Bavaria, etc. My wife and I are more than happy to use public transport when it makes perfect sense to do so. This trip and the modes you took will be added to our list. Happy to recommend some places for you and Suzanne to visit - things that have brought my wife and I immense joy. Kudos once again for a brilliant narrated trip report..
I always like it when you've got Suzanne with you. It gives the videos a more personal sort of feel
Nice summary of a part of the country that I have yet to visit. My father loves driving Trollstigen on his motorcycle! 😎
About bus on ferry: I used to drive a bus service from Bodø to Sortland. The trip lasts for almost 7 hours and includes a 1 hour ferry ride from Bognes to Lødingen. And another fun fact: the only way to get further north in Norway from Bognes is by ferry, unless you drive through Sweden.
Feel free to visit us in North next time you come to Norway! I promise you there’s more to see!
Excellent sights ALL ALONG the way on this journey! Thank you!!
We just drove are A class motorhome on that road yesterday Åndalsnes to Geiranger it's absolutely stunning!
Wow! You’re braver than we are. No way I could keep my eyes on the road!!
I truly love Norway and it's fresh air!
Fantastic scenery…… if you are looking for train/bus/boat (and the odd dodgy, precarious road) alternatives look no further then Queenstown NZ. Boat includes Milford Sound, sail Lake Wakatipu or jetboat/raft down Shotover River, bus up to Cornet Peak, to Milford Sound and for precarious roads try Skippers Canyon, train includes Taeiri Gorge railway or Tranz Alpine/Glacier Express. Other forms of transport incl Skyline(southern hemisphere’s steepest cable car) and the flight in/out are spectacular. Only problem ? For me in Manchester, UK you could barely be further away ! 😩
Norway is maybe the most underrated beautiful country in the world imo
As someone who made this exact trip about a month ago, it is a landscape that videos and pictures can’t do justice
Glad to see Suzanne taking a more active role in the commentary. Great job!
Me and my wife both enjoyed watching your video it was well.shot. We have been to Norway many times, so it was nice to be reminded of what Norway.
When you like the video before it starts because you know it’s gonna be good
Norway is on my bucket list. So beautiful! I have relatives there.
Absolutely gorgeous country
Love this part of Norway. I've gone down Trollstigen a couple of times, not a problem with a car. It may well be the most famous one but there are others who are a little more... intimidating 😨
it sure is🤯 aurland - stegastein is one of them😂
I think Norway has just been added to my bucket list of destinations
5:44 Google maps estimated walking time does not include sitting on a bench! That Trollstigen Road has been used in several car commercials. Solid, flowing, enjoyable video as usual, JB. Peace.
Excellent narrating and seeing Norway!
Well these “serpentine route” remember me at Chile border (Paso Libertadores, Cristo Redentor Tunnel), at Chile border side you have a serpentine route from 3.600 to 2.200 meters over the sea. Also, at northen Argentina, at Salta province, you have the “Cuesta del Obispo”
Video is well done and provides good inspiration (and very useful information) for my own holdiday plans! A big "Thank you" from Holland!
What a beautiful rainbow. Amen
Breathtakingly beautiful! Norge looks amazing! Thanks for uploading! Safe travels!
Wow! This is my favorite video of yours, Jeb and Suzanne, and I've watched plenty. Norway is stunning, but I don't think I'd have the nerve to travel down the Trollstigen, even by bus. Thanks for the beautiful footage and for allowing me to be an armchair traveler.
Your videos are so good: organized, informative, well edited, fun, and upbeat.
Wow, thank you! We loved this trip, it was one of our favorites of 2022. Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Yea! Another video with Suzanne 👍🏽. I'd be so afraid on the bus on that road😬. I'm laughing because you -Jeb- are really roughing it with these modes of transportation 😅
OMG OMG , this is so Peacefully heaven
You are truly a blessed man! I would love to take that trip one day, I pray my wife and I have both the time and resources to make that happen! "Se you....on the bus, boat, rails and skies!"
The production of JB's videos is AWSOME
I love it that you guys enjoy public transportation so much. In a rent a car world, this is refreshing.
I also recommend trying the train from Rome/Naples to either Catania or Palermo. They place the whole train onto the ferry
Suzanne with the Rick Steves t-shirt is SERVING
I would LOVE to see a double date travel video with Jeb & Susanne with Will & Millie from Trek Trendy ❤❤❤
Beautiful! Thanks for making this video. I’m going to steal the itinerary
Awesome.Thanks for sharing the video and taking an effort for us. defnitely worth travelling the route you showed us. keep recording and keep sending. I saved it to my bucketlist
Norway 🇸🇯 is a wonderful country with beautiful nature....I love Norway 🇸🇯🥰❤️
I would totally drive on the Trollstigen road. Its one of the great driving roads on earth.
Robot lawn mowers are very common in Norway. Labor is costly, so many parks and public areas use them instead of hiring someone to do it. Also of course many use them in their private gardens.
I Really wish this wasn’t Quite as condensed as it is! This was delightful, but seemed a bit abrupt…(you left us wanting more, Jeb and Suzanne!)
My grandparents Olaf and Minnie would have loved this video...
BTW, I trust myself over anyone else when it comes to driving.
NOSTALGIC - 4 years back did the same boat-geiranger hotel stay-bus-trollstigen-andalsnes-Oslo ! thank you guys !!
Thank you for the very nice video! Mid June we start our Norway road trip and the bus looks very nice for myself. But not for my wife, in the first corner she need definitely a plastic bag. So we take our own car and make stops when needed. Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Great report, brings back some great memories from half a lifetime ago. Alesund, Geiranger, an overnight in Stranda, Andalsnes, Eidsdal, Lillehammer (for about eight nights)...pretty sure I got to them all. Not to mention a bus up (or was it down?) Trollstigen. Breathtaking stuff and I hope to get back one day. Oh, and I definitely did not drive.
Cool that you got to experience my area of the world! :) Welcome back anytime!
We love your videos. I am an online ESL teacher and just shared this video with my student in Tokyo. :). Keep them coming.
As a Norwegian from the north in Norway i would recomend The north of Norway during winter time.
Norway is so Beautiful
Damn!! Jeb, you beat us that you already finished and published your geiranger-trollstigen scenic route video while we just released our part 1 of this route.
We admired Suzanne and you that you took all the public transportation for this trip. We would like to do the same way but we could not due to our tight schedule. Instead, we traveled in the opposite direction that we flew from Oslo to Molde and rented a car from there. While you 2 took the bus descending from the top of the Trollstigen rest area, we drove from the bottom to the top. With your video, we have a comprehensive view of this route from two different directions. Once again, great video and great job!! We look forward seeing more of your travel videos in the future!!
One of my favorite videos you've done
I Really enjoyed your video to Norway. My grandparents mygrated to the US from Little hammer and Oslo over a hundred years ago.around 1880.T he places you visited look so ultramodern, and scenic! T he terrain looks alot like our rocky mountain areas.'PROUD TO BE A nORWEGAN!" Driving those roads when it gets icy, you become very religious! "Fast!'"
Wow! Just wow! I'm so inlove in this country🥰😍❤❤❤
Norway is really beautiful
Nice product placement by Suzanne for Rick Steves - I have the same shirt (actually 2). Great video and narration - very informative. You can also see why Rick Steve's always promotes packing light, "because you will end up walking at some point" when you tour Europe. He also states that the wheely bags are great until you have to walk up stairs or in your case, a steep hill - you both did great. Thanks again.
That's one place I've always wanted to visit. Magnificent scenery. Thanks for the video.
Fabulous video, just loved it. To the point and absolutely useful
There is no way I would drive that road. Kudos to the bus driver. I was in Quebec, Canada on a bus vacation & we stayed on an island in the St. Lawrence River. This meant many trips by ferry on the bus to the mainland. Two modes of transport at the same time.
It's just amazing that places like Norway exist.
Always appreciate your Joie de Vivre, Jeb.
Did not know Norway was that beautiful. Everything looked fantastic. 👍🏻👍🏻
Norway is easily one of the most beautiful places on earth
We just got back from a similar trip, way better than a cruise ship. Norway is indeed awesome full of magnificent scenery and wonderful people.
Jeb you do it all! Blue skies and tailwinds!
Dear Suzanne, dear Jeb, once more a hit ! I really love your style of "youtubing", with a bit American touch, always a joy to watch. This one is very particular to me as we are currently heading to Norway on an Interrail trip. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
I'm lucky enough to visit this heavenly place
Awesome Footage.. Jeb and Suzanne.....Thanks for showing us the beautiful sights of Norway....Loved it...
What, no plain ?! Just played .and you two are the best at what you do. Thank you.
Bus on a ferry -- I've done that -- between Sweden and Denmark. A lot to be said for Scandinavian efficiency and EXCELLENT coffee! And, what beautiful scenery! I enjoy your videos; keep up the great work!
Good to see yet another video from you. Enjoy Norway!
Thanks for sharing Norway travel experience and useful detailed information, excellent photography congratulations 🙏
Ahhhhhhh! This is amazing!!!! Thank you for all the links to everything! I am pleased to see you traveling with your lady. What a great addition to your videos. You look happier! I would like to do both: driving the troll road and paying for public transit. What views!!! Nice Rick Steves' shirt!
Ooooh Alesund!!!! Alesund is the twin city of Borgo a Mozzano, Lucca, Italy. On may first (labor day in all Europe, Asia, Africa & latin America), at Anchiano, county of Borgo a Mozzano, is the celebration of the norway Cod and the people of Alesund come (yes, I wrote “come”, because Borgo a Mozzano is my second home in the world, my ancestors came from this town)
Thanks for nice video and thanks for visiting my country 👍🏻
That was good good to see ,I couldn't go on that road full stop.
Thanks for taking us with you. From me in Scotland 🤗🤗
I drove the Eagle Road and Trolligsten a few years ago. Your video brought back memories of that enjoyable trip when I had to concentrate on the road rather than the views. I do agree that the fjord are better appreciated from above rather than sea level.
Stunning!
And yes, I would drive but would rather relax on a bus.
The road downwards has reminded me of the Tremola in Switzerland.
Thank you very much, Suzanne and Jeb, for sharing your wonderful documentary with us.
This was so enjoyable to watch. My Ancestors came from Norway. I have distant relatives that live there, Norwegians LOVE Pizza!!! I have several Face Books Friends that live in Norway, I have a few friends that live close to where my 2x Grand Parents lived. I have seen pictures of that Road you went down. Was nice to see your reaction, That was an amazing bus driver, When I went on an Escorted tour of Europe we had an amazing bus driver.
Traveling is something great guys...👍
In the 70Th I took a trip by train from Oslo to Alesund over Dombas, changes there for a train down to Alesund then change to bus for Andalsnes, back to Dombas, change train for Trondheim. Wonderful trip.
Just beautiful, thank you for sharing Jeb and Suzanne. Safe travels...
노르웨이 여행 잘 보았습니다. 넷플릭스에서 보았던 바이킹이 살던 곳 같네요. 저도 노르웨이에 여행을 꼭 가보고 싶네요~
Western Norway is very beatiful, i am swedish retired touristbusdriver and have made several tours in westNorway, with different touristgroups. Even to and from Geiranger and Trollstigen.
Thanks for another great great video. When visiting in Europe there is a wide variety of transportation options and often, using the public system is the smart choice. It may not seem cheap, but renting a car and putting fuel in it and paying toll roads and then finding parking can all be more expensive and more hassle. When we visited Spain in May we used planes, taxis, train, subways, busses, and an automobile. Out of 3 weeks we had the car for only 4 days where it made sense for day trips that were not readily accessible by other forms of transportation. Those roads look like an epic drive in a descent car (I would not want to be in control of a large vehicle though). We had to drive through the old part of Granada and parking garages that barely fit a compacts SUV (new Mokka), I had only inches to spare with insanely tight turns going down 4 levels). This video can be super helpful to those US or Canadian travelers that have never experienced well connected public transportation in Europe.
Many Europeans cannot imagine how impressive this country is, so thank you!
Incredibly beautiful scenery! Great content! Cheers 🥂
Beautiful video. I now need to add a visit to Norway to my bucket list!
Hot coffee is the best friend in every vehicles ☺️
This honestly may be my new favorite video on your channel, it’s just so well done! Also, the map with floating Jeb head was hilarious!
Thanks! That’s such a nice thing to say!
@@GreenerGrass of course, love your content!
Just Beautiful!! I agree with some others. I am enjoying you using Bus and Trains every so often. Thank You!!!
