I went to Oslo to visit a friend who is working there and to learn how to ski with her and another friend that went with me because she also lives in Europe. Where are all from Perú but we got to meet up in Norway after 5 months of not seeing each other. It was fun!!

Oslo, Solo travel

One of the safest city I have ever visited! Everyone was nice and helpful! It was easy to get around everywhere. Probably one of my favorite cities. As someone working in human rights it was interesting to visit the noble peace prize center.

Narvik, Solo travel

The city is extremely safe, no catcalling or other harrasment happening, one of the places I felt the safest, but it very expensive and the city itself is not that big, so the amount of activities is limited.

Oslo is a very safe city. Public transport is safe to use 24h. You can walk almost anywhere any time of the day or night without any restrictions. Living here for 8’years and always walked freely everywhere and never had any issues

Oslo is really safe. I've lived here for two years now and haven't had any issues. Only the usual ones you get in any big cities. Pickpocketing and theft is not common. People are generally really nice and helpful.

Bergen

Very safe! It can be touristic and have many people during main season in summer, but mostly very private and silent city. Locals can be a little distant, but definitely mostly very kind and helpful if you need anything
