Its pretty safe and a nice town. Has a lot of students and therefore a lot of activities. Usually a lot of people out drinking in the weekends, mostly students and it feels pretty safe. Good connections with bus
Posted: September 9, 2025I have been living here one year and going out alone sometimes and using public transportation, walked around in dark. I haven’t experienced any criminal behaviour myself and feel quite safe. I would be more alert in some areas like Grønland, Tøyen and area around Oslo S.

Narvik is a very safe city, many locals dont even lock their homes and cars, one of the safest cities I have ever been to. The crime rate is super low and as it gets really cold in the winter, there are no homeless people.

Oslo was a very nice destination for a female solo traveler, for 3 days. I enjoyed the culture and the people, I felt safe during day and night times. I would recommend to stay at least 2 days to enjoy the city and the night life. I loved so much the fine art museum, and the beautiful streets. Norwegian are very friendly and welcoming.
