Hello everyone! I joined this forum because I saw how wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful everyone is, and I hope some of you can answer my question!
I *LOVE* getting my passport stamped! I am taking another trip to Europe and was wondering - when can I expect to go through passport control??
I am an American citizen.
Here is our itinerary:
Houston to Toronto to Frankfurt - I know I will be stamped in both places.
Amsterdam to Oslo
Oslo to Tromso
Tromso to Oslo
Bergen to Copenhagen to Toronto to Houston
I know the Senchen zone will make it many less stamps than I wish, but I'm hoping for several!
Thank you!

You will probably (but not necessarily) get a stamp on arrival in Frankfurt. If you do you will probably get another one when you leave from Copenhagen.
That's it. All Schenegn countries so no other stamps. You won't even go through passport control in any of the other places.
Travelling between countries in the Schengen zone is basically no different from travelling between states in the US. You won't even really notice that you have crossed into another country unless you happen to see a sign out a window as you pass over the border.
I remember one time - pre-Eurozone - that I had to ask the bored arrivals agent at CDG for a souvenir Passport stamp.
