Bergen is a very safe city. During day I feel I can go anywhere, with few exceptions, I walk around alone also at dark, in the city. At night I take into consideration what parts I go, but in general I feel safe to go alone also at night. Some areas outside the city i am more considerate, but also here it is generally safe

Bergen is a really safe city. I have gone home from town alone in the middle of the night and never had a problem. Its a great place to travel for a solotraveler as a women. I never exsperienced any dangerous situation here and i livet here almost all my life and is 34 years old now. I never been mugged or felt afraid in any way here.
Posted: September 4, 2024Norway is in general a very safe country. Bergen is no exception. Puddefjordsbroen and Danmarksplass are known drug addict areas. The main thing to worry about is underestimating the nature. Most of the tourists who get in trouble are those who get stuck in the mountains. Read and respect our Fjellvettregler.

Bergen is a super safe city. I really have never felt so safe in any country and city that i'v even been. Plus in the summer time we have kinda "white nights" which makes it even more calm to walk around)

Generally very safe, there are usually some drunk students in the city centre at night, but they don't really bother others. I very rarely feel unsafe alone in the city or outside the city. People mostly keep to themselves

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 felt really safe in Bergen, it's a small town but very touristic and that's why it's very expensive. I stayed in a youth hostel and I used the kitchen to cook my meals. There are a lot of interesting things to do around, just go to the tourist information and they will help you to choose a cruise, a hike or other many activites. My budget was about 70 euros each day.
Posted: July 10, 2024Spent months waiting for a spontaneous trip to Bergen, because I wanted to choose a sunny week. The travel was more expensive this way but definitely worth it! You don't need more than 2-3 days to visit every sight, but you can spend a couple more days sailing to the fjords etc. Highly recommend!
