How safe is Bergen?

Bergen, like the rest of Norway, is generally very safe. Walking alone at night or traveling around in general is not a problem. Public transport is clean and reliable. Most people speak English and are helpful and polite if you need directions or assistance.
Posted: April 10, 2024Bergen is a charming and small city with walking distance to most places. The culture is used to strong women and independent women. Women I. This city is respected and seen equal as men. Also the city have a lot of female owned/run bars and restaurants.
Posted: March 10, 2024Bergen is very touristy and safe for women solo travelers. There is gonna be a lot of drug users around at night and early mornings, but they have never talked to me. Bergen is beautiful and you can ask any stranger about directions or help.

I loved Bergen and felt very safe. I walked through Vidden, ate the most delicious seafood at an outdoor restaurant in the market, and then took a fjord cruise to Flam, returning to Bergen by train.

Solo travel experience
I was in Bergen for a few days in July. I visited Ulriksbanen and the views were magnificent. There are options for traveling / walking up and descent / walking back down. I also participated in a kayak tour around nearby fjords for a day, which was a wonderful experience.
