- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | The proud spirit of the Norwegian people shines in every dimension of their capital city - from its once-fearsome Viking ships to its sleek new Opera House, from a fun folk museum that keeps traditions alive to the constant festival of its thriving harborfront. Connecting with the culture, we enjoy art - from Vigeland's statues to Munch's scream - and join local friends for a boat ride on their fjord. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #oslo

Rick Steves, America's most respected authority on European travel, writes European travel guidebooks, and hosts travel shows on public television and public radio.
I'm from Oslo, and can testify to the accuracy of the content. Mr. Rick Steves' research skills is unparalleled.
You shouldn’t have to share your city with immigrants
Got into him recently. What an intelligent and interesting man. The best travel shows I've ever seen.
He's pretty underrated. I like all his guides except Egypt (definitely not tourist friendly)
So true
The rail journey from Oslo to Bergan and back is quite something.
Immigrants need to leave immediately
Thank you for the memories. I lived in Oslo for three years in the 70's.... My son was born there.
How much it's changed! But the best thing were the people! I'm still corresponding with the first person I met there! Oslo it's definitely a "MUST SEE" Really Norway is a must see. Most beautiful county and cleanest... Thanks again.
Where do you live now?
7:52 “... to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus NOT discovering America”. Love it.
I know. I was hoping he wouldve explained that more.
@@kmb-wy1to he probably meant that despite the myth we are taught in elementary school, Christopher Columbus was not the first person to discover America:
1) Native Americans were already here and it was their land - they discovered it ~20,000 years ago (during the last Ice Age ... they crossed the temporary land bridge from Asia ...glaciers so large, the sea level was lower).
2) He wasn’t even the first white man to dock here; the Vikings had made many landings way before him.
@@kmw4359 St Brendan from Ireland reportedly reached American shores.
I have became a fan of Rick Steve .... You have been showing me entire Europe, I don't have money to travel overseas but you are fulfilling some of my dreams. Thank you Rick.
Most of Europe is a dump man. Come visit the USA if you really want an enjoyable trip.
Rick is amazing! I got to attend an in-person lecture he gave in our community when he visited as part of a speaking tour. 💯
@@kostasyfantis where?
@@Aurmm Champaign, Illinois
Nice film about Oslo.I've been living there for 25 years.Very nice city with a rich cultural life.And friendly people.And a rich music scene.
im goin to visit when covid jamming allows world to be free
"...and I have a cousin here who owns a boat." Rick must have found a genie's bottle on his travels for he certainly has a charmed life.
I've never been to Europe, but Oslo seems like a nice place. I like how Norwegians have a sense of social responsibility and how they have universal healthcare. I also like how Oslo invests heavily in mass transit unlike many cities here in the U.S. People love their cars too much here in the U.S., and the traffic here is very bad.
That makes such good sense; Americans are faced with perils and worries from medical bankruptcies and facing old age in poverty. We have a ghastly inadequate system that is greatly in need of reform.🗽 Let Norway lead the way!🌄👑
My cousins live in oslo and it's a beautiful city.😍
Oslo a great city with an intesting history sailing across the at world on long boats.Examples seen in the museum s great to see our Norse history
Jeg har en veldig sterk kobling og tilhørighet til Norge🇳🇴. For oss som er glad i norsk natur og vakre steder! Jeg Elsker Norge 🇳🇴. Gratulerer kjære Skål Norge 🇳🇴.
Back when I visited Norway in 2017 for 15 days I was in Oslo at the beginning and the end of my trip. Charming city!
I'm not Norwegian, not even European, but I really love this country and this city was established by my Viking idol, Harald Hardrada. The last great viking king.
Larp
I loved my time InOslo. Sailing on a cruise ship into Oslo harbor was breathtakingly beautiful. I recognized the architecture as very much the same I see InMy native Minnesota.
I'm traveling to Oslo next month, and greatly in need of inspiration to tour around Oslo. Now, I got it. Thanks to Rick Steves for this superb video on Oslo.
Thanks alot Mr Rick. For fulfilment of our dreams. We cannot travel to such places. God bless u.
For all that Oslo is large it still manages feel much smaller. I was so impressed how clean, friendly and safe Oslo. It is a walkers’ paradise. It’s also easy to get around.
Come to Singapore.
We are like Oslo except that we don't have the chilly climate 🤓
KT Ng I have been blessed to visit Singapore. You’re 100% correct in saying that it’s clean, friendly and safe as well as easy to get around. My family and I spent several days there and loved every minute that we spent there. The “night tours” at the zoo and strolling through the parks were our favorite things to do. We couldn’t understand the signs on the buses and trains forbidding bringing durian fruit onto them until we went to an outdoor market and actually got a whiff of one. They have to be the absolutely most disgustingly smelling things that we’ve ever had the misfortune to have smelled. I hear that the fruit is very delicious, but the smell was so horrible that I just wasn’t even brave enough to taste the fruit!
Come to my lovely country Cyprus! We have amazing beaches,meditterannean food,great nightlife and beautiful greek women!!!!
i love rick steves.. im binge watching all his shows

I just discovered him and can't stop watching . He is one of the last with this type of videos now it's all crowded by vlogs.
I'm from N. Dakota/Minnesota and have German blood line. I am 60+ years old and I have very few times had a overwhelming emotion like this one being Norway feels like home...I don't know. Thanks.
hei jeg er fra Algerie. Jeg ønsker å bo i Norge takk
I haven't enjoyed my visit to Oslo. I loved my visit to Oslo!
Went to Oslo by acciddent in 2017 and fell in love with this city.
"By accident"??
@@sm3675 Well layover, and my flight ended up being delayed untill the next day so i had longer time to see the city.

Hi Rick, many thanks for sharing the gorgeous Norway video. I truly enjoyed watching your lovely video. I gracefully visited Norway in May 2015 and would like to be visiting the lovely country there again soon.
i love rick steves sir ji.. im binge watching all his shows all time you are such a great person.
New main library, new Munch museum, new national museum and much, much more since this video was made.
When you don't know you have everything, you don't have anything. The souls come to awaken us all to everything in hand.
How beautiful country ♥️☺️☺️♥️
Norwegians music scene is fantastic. All hail Morten Harket.😍And now they bestow Aurora upon us.💋
Bergen/Stavenger
Thank you so much for this immersive tour. I have been to these parts of the World but unfortunate for me, it was in winter and i did not opportune to take in the splendour that is present there.
Hi Steve congrats Oslo is beautiful city
Great video! Rick Steves continues to party! Back to where it all began, summer metropolis of Oslo, where his marauding Viking ancestors started it all.
My family is from here! So happy to say I'm Norsk!
hei jeg er fra Algerie. Jeg ønsker å bo i Norge takk
Oslo seems so beautiful! Thanks for this video.
i've got norwigien cousins too ive never met..my grandfather came from norway the time the nazi's landed and times were scary,he came to canada and met my native cree grandmother..they had 11 children..
Wow. Norway is just awesome country and Oslo is the most beautiful city in the world! (just my opinion) Greetings from Finland.
+juho jämsä I respect your opinion but i think Stockholm beats Oslo with it's Islands and water :)
+Enannaman Ensson Norway is beautiful, but Oslo is nothing special when compared with let`s say Baltic capitals like Riga, Tallin, Vilnius (without soviet heritage blocks of course)
Many thanks to Rick for the all vedio es of Europe. its not possible to us to visit the all Europe. it was my dream in childhood that I will visit the whole Europe. But I see it by your eyes...Thanks again.
I loved your channel Sir Steves it’s great i learned a lots I enjoyed to much. Thanks again god bless and peace

Best Oslo video i have ever seen. Thanks!
Rick Steve's has something of a Steve Martin, especially when he smiles 😉😂
Oslo is town of beautiful Scandinavian land
Great vid, the train to Bergen is stunning, via Voss, a must-see at winter time during the Polar Nights. I rather enjoyed Norway's cuisine, amazing fish soups, best salmon ever, smorgasbords. Simple straight forward quality food, it was delicious. Clean country, pleasant people, one of the safest esp for women visitors. Very attractive people too.
Beautiful city
Great episode, great country.

Beautiful Takk..
THANKS Rick that was really interesting, when i visited there may a year ago i was unable to see the rest of Oslo as i Was unable to walk well. So i have enjoyed this video, at home in australia. I was really good thankyou from australia
been there last summer n love it.
I have seen many of Rick Steves' travel programs on PBS.
Very, very interesting. Thank you
Thank you great man. You have taught us so much...thanks
I love your videos Mr. Steves, I love to travel and see the world but funds is the main criteria and through your videos I can see the world. Keep the videos coming. I am from India.
What a wonderful video!
I love you Steve. Please never stop! (I know its harder now, but I imagine youll find a time and way to get back out there!)
Love your show! Always a good journey
It's wonderful.
This videos have great educational value. Thank you, Rick!
Thanks to all your efforts to make for this video
we are heading here soon....SUPER excited
Local cuisine is up to ones own taste. There are many decent local dishes but they maay seem strange to many. Many dishes that we take for granted have their origin lamb in cabbage, norwegian stew and norwegian style meatballs with potatoes,gravy and peas for example.
And naturally tonnes of different very local fish, potato and meat variants.
Oslo is awesome. I loved Viglunds park.
11:40 Wrong. Practically no Norwegian pays 50% tax. It is true the absolute maximum you must pay is a full 50%, but there is a step wise increase, which means people that earn more, will pay more, not only in monetary figures, but also in percent. In 2019, earning up to $50.000 a year incurs 29.4% tax. Earning $200.000 a year would set you back 45,7%. Anyone having a mortgage can deduct that interest on their income, which in turn reduces tax pressure, as long as you have a loan.
I really want to live in Norway. Amazing country
Your employer pays "employment tax", you pay income tax, then if you are gonna buy something you pay "merverdiavgift" (VAT) -- it all adds up to more than you want to admit! The communist government (AP/H/KFP/FRP you name it, all of them) take more from what you create than you get yourself. Prove me wrong!... (you can't)...
@@daNorse @daNorse I'm not going into political discussions here. I am an economist, former CFO, and know very well which employer paid expenses occur upon employment. The statement is that a "Normal Norwegian worker" generally pays around 50% income tax, which is untrue.
@@Jurgh909 I'm also an economist, financial analyst for 20 years in the stock exchange.
So, I challenge you to do this simple calculation: Sum up employer's payroll tax, employees payroll tax, and finally add the VAT on top (excluding the abundant special taxes like on alcohol, tobacco, tax on real estate, etc. etc.) Personally, I mean we should abolish the income tax totally.
@@daNorse You are still missing the point. The statement in the video is that an average Norwegian pays 50% income tax.
Spectacular Oslo...... Europe is the paradise in this universe.
Maybe physically but remember that Europe gave us WWI, WWII, the slave trade, Communism through Marx, Fascism and N***ism, the Spanish inquisition, the Crusades. and many other horrors over the centuries.
Lee Roggy - And the rest of the world was all love and peace, right? LOL. Warfare, slavery, oppression was and is everywhere. People vote with their feet. Europeans are not risking their and their childrens' life to flee across the sea to Africa...
Thank you for your videos, you became my trusted travel ( vlog) as they call it, better than those TH-camrs , a very professional content. Best of luck 😊
Thanks for European tour
Спасибо, очень люблю этот город!
Good morning
linda cidade!!
The tax percentage is NOT 50% for most Norwegians, its closer to 38%. These people paying half in tax must have a large income
really really nice documentary!
In general people do not pay 50% in taxes. I pay about 36% and my salary is pretty high. The more you earn, the higher the taxes get. So people with lower income do NOT have to pay 50% in taxes.
really cool video. liked it very much. Cheers from Oslo!!
Oslo to Gwadar via Mascat Oman Car Really!! welcome to Oslo, Norway. would be fun to meetup cool people around the world and making exciting projects!!
I want to go for all the legendary black metal bands
True lmao. Norway is a home for black metal
@@bjt1602 I know. Dwight Schrute's friend Rolf told me so.
The Vikings don't battle anymore with their swords, they fight now with their guitars and decibels. Heil the mighty Vikings! Demons from the North!
lovely
You can see huge difference between rainy Bergen and sunny Oslo I think west and north is nice for sightseeing but southern and eastern Norway is more hospitable
haha
I love these videos. Been watching Rick for many years.
Just found your channel, instantly subscribed
I love your videos Rick!
great oslo
Oslo so beautiful city more than any other place in Norway. . We can say a live in Norway stand up just in Oslo
great video!
In this moment of great change, the old skills and new thoughts both work. But I think from now on, the new order works.
Munch's painting is a reminder of danger. I don't take it as an expression of depression..
There is always a way out - sincere service to all in spite of difficulties.
The most beautiful exhibition boards and Mnadhar
If the result is good, all are right. Let past pass. Let each one take a free choice to enjoy life. This is the times of many masters.
