Top Comments of this video!! :3
I've lived in both cities, and I have to admit I prefer Oslo.
It's more entertaining, closer to nature, and makes you happier.
It is also cleaner and quieter.
I also like the Norwegian food better. Swedish food feels like leftovers (sorry!), and cheaper. Not only money wise, but also in quality.
When I lived in Sthlm, I went to Oslo to buy meat, bread, and certain vegetables that were extremely expensive in Sweden compared to Norway.
But - this is my personal experiences and preferences.
I no longer live in Sthlm, but in Norway 😅
The mountains, the clean air, the water, the nature, the food ... it had to be Norway for me.

I miss some of the patchy vibe in Oslo in this video. The chance to take a trip to places like Grunerløkka, Rodeløkka, Frogner, Kampen etc. There is a certain patchwork between smaller towns being included into Oslo in older days. You also crossed some of the ruins of Oslo, it's often referred to as the Nordic Pompeii, meaning you have to look for the ruins to find older structures. This kind of video is really too short to view the variety in Oslo I think. Also the fact that it was moved in the 1500 something to be better protected by the fortress, means that it was easier to create more moderne architecture, but people in Oslo has often had their identity somewhere else and such didn't always care that much about the old ruins, so would tear down old to accommodate new. That's why we have the wider streets and avenues and the big Jernbanetorget.

First time watching your channel. Very interesting and very well done young man! Loved it. I live in the USA the state of Minnesota. My grandparents were Swedish and spoke Swedish but lived at least for wahile in Jacobstad Finland. I so want to see Sweden and all Scandinavia maybe even move to Sweden somehow. You forgot an important aspect of Sweden... it's the land of ABBA lol. I love the great band ABBA and would love to see their museum in Stockholm. Benny and Frida of ABBA had a flat together in old town. Keep up the good work and take care

Great comparison of two cultures that are often closely tied and referred to in similar contexts.
