- 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:

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!
As someone who made this exact trip about a month ago, it is a landscape that videos and pictures can’t do justice
People are truly Blessed to call this country their home!! 💚💛💚
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
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.
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 Norwegian, i gotta love your pronunciation of Norwegian places! Good video too!
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 ??
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!)
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 😁
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.
NOSTALGIC - 4 years back did the same boat-geiranger hotel stay-bus-trollstigen-andalsnes-Oslo ! thank you guys !!
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!
This video deserves at least 5 million likes
Yes, I wish it was much longer.
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
Even as a Norwegian I am astounded by the views on this trip.
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.
Norway is maybe the most underrated beautiful country in the world imo
I rented and drove a car for transferring between these places as solo traveler in September 2022. But after watching this video, I realized your itinerary using different modes of public transportation are more interesting and stress free. I wouldn’t rent a car if I watched this video prior to my trip. Thank you for this useful video
I would totally drive on the Trollstigen road. Its one of the great driving roads on earth.
Breathtakingly beautiful! Norge looks amazing! Thanks for uploading! Safe travels!
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”
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!!
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 think Norway has just been added to my bucket list of destinations
I truly love Norway and it's fresh air!
Jeb...you guys make the best travel videos...THANKS from NZ
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😂
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.
I don't know what I loved more, the scenery, or the fact that your lovely bride was wearing a Rick Steves shirt!
I always like it when you've got Suzanne with you. It gives the videos a more personal sort of feel
When you like the video before it starts because you know it’s gonna be good
Awesome video Jeb!! Adding this to my bucket list. Love seeing you and Suzanne traveling together ❤️
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 ! 😩
Just beautiful, thank you for sharing Jeb and Suzanne. Safe travels...
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!"
Wow. Looked like a fun trip. The views were absolutely stunning. Thanks for taking us along.
No way! I was just in Norway 4 days ago!! Its so beautiful
Glad to see Suzanne taking a more active role in the commentary. Great job!
Good to see yet another video from you. Enjoy Norway!
It's just amazing that places like Norway exist.
Always appreciate your Joie de Vivre, Jeb.
Norway is on my bucket list. So beautiful! I have relatives there.
Thanks to you two my bucket list just got longer. As a retired employee of your favorite airline, I’m always ready to go somewhere new! Love watching your videos, so keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful way to see some of the beautiful scenery in Norway.
As a coach driver, I would definitely give driving it a go!
Really great trip showcasing all the modes of transportation needed to get across Norway!! The scenery was awesome! It's been great seeing Suzanne on some of your trips....... she is a definite plus and you two compliment each other nicely! Love your videos........ keep them coming!😉😉
Wonderful video Jeb! I’m gonna have to add something like this to my travel bucket list. I thought the views on video were stunning so I can only imagine just how breathtaking they were in person. I love your videos, thanks for posting and keep up the awesome work.
I just adore the two of you. Yours are easily my favorite travel videos....very personable and nice to listen to. You both obviously enjoy the experiences of travel.
Thank you for filming the video that has Endless surprises and so many breathtaking sceneries. Norway definitely had came to my travel bucket list after I watched the video.
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.
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 !
Jeb, one of your best videos so far! 😃I love these kinds of videos! The scenery is breathtaking! If I must pick between your airline videos and these, these will win hands down!
Norway is my Happy Place & I’m so glad to watch your visit! I took an RIB tour of Geirangerfjord in 2019 & it was wonderful-as was the “hairpin turn” ride. Thanks for taking me back!
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!
Just Beautiful!! I agree with some others. I am enjoying you using Bus and Trains every so often. Thank You!!!
Video is well done and provides good inspiration (and very useful information) for my own holdiday plans! A big "Thank you" from Holland!
Hi Susan! You guys have always picked great sights. Thank you so much for sharing. Amen
The scenery is absolutely stunning.
What an adventure.
Keep it up.
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 🤗🤗
What a GREAT video! Norway is so beautiful. What stunning views. Thank You Mr Brooks for providing us with a GREAT video!
That is one of your best videos and I’ve seen them all. You guys complement each other so well and make a great team I’d like to see you guys do a video on say a Norway Cruise two to three days on one of their small cruise ship
....which cruise ships are you talking about..... ???
Great video Jeb and Susan. I must have enjoyed the trip. Would love to see more footage of the towns you stayed overnight as well as the local cuisine.
Did not know Norway was that beautiful. Everything looked fantastic. 👍🏻👍🏻
Norway is easily one of the most beautiful places on earth
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!
Absolutely gorgeous country
Awesome Footage.. Jeb and Suzanne.....Thanks for showing us the beautiful sights of Norway....Loved it...
Beautiful video. I now need to add a visit to Norway to my bucket list!
Incredibly beautiful scenery! Great content! Cheers 🥂
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!
That was one of the most inspirational travel videos I have seen. My wife and I added this location to our bucket list immediately.
That's one place I've always wanted to visit. Magnificent scenery. Thanks for the video.
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.
Jeb and Suzzane . As always, a video par excellence. It almost made the viewer think we are with you on this journey. Truly the mark of an amazing story teller.
Phenomenal video, Jeb! I couldn't tear my eyes away for even a second until it was finished.
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.
❤❤❤ OMG!! This was fantastic! Those views❣️ The fjords are on my bucket list!
Well, You guys have put Norway on my must visit list! I think I've seen every video you have made; they are entertaining and informative. I would have liked to have seen what you guys ate in Norway; maybe another video! Thank you again!
Norway 🇸🇯 is a wonderful country with beautiful nature....I love Norway 🇸🇯🥰❤️
I love the new map design that you’re using in this video. It’s a lot more smoother than you’re other ones and has more of a personal touch to you! Overall a great video and can’t wait to see more. Keep up the great work! 👏😁
You guys made this video in such a great way that I feel like I was traveling with you guys. Thank you so much!!
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.
Jeb, you’ve done it again! Another vlog of an amazing trip that my wife and I will take! I was not familiar with those beautiful locations, but I am now. Time to start reservations!
Mahn! Beautiful landscapes captured so nicely. Enjoyed the video!
What a beautiful rainbow. Amen
that was incredible and beautiful, the view you both had was so beautiful you have to watch this video over an over to catch more to see more you might of miss.
yes I would ride that bus to the end of route
Most interesting video. We hope to go to Norway in 2024, so will definitely think of doing this particular trip.
This video are so well put together. Just wanted to comment and simple say thanks for all you do.
Another amazing journey. Norway is breathtaking.
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.
Wow!! So amazing 😮🤩
Jeb you do it all! Blue skies and tailwinds!
Awesome video!! I love the different modes of transportation, great work!! Thank you!!!!!!
Fabulous video, just loved it. To the point and absolutely useful
What a beautiful journey. It's in my bucket list now
We've been to Norway and agree that the scenery is outstanding - and I'm from New Zealand! Like other commenters we/re using public transport more often, letting others drive whilst we enjoy the scenery.
The video and commentary is fabulous, keep it up Jeb! Lookin forward to seeing you in the sky. And land and water, over waterfalls and everywhere else on this wonderful planet of ours!
What a wonderfull place in this earth.That's my dream. Thanks for share and filming this place. Really nice trip experience with kinds of transportations mode.
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
I love Norway 🇳🇴 ❤
What, no plain ?! Just played .and you two are the best at what you do. Thank you.
