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!!

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.

As a solo traveller and a student, my budget was really low but fortunately I got a host , she was wonderful and she made me feel at home. I explored Oslo and the next day I went to Hamar. It was beautiful. I was so lucky to see Northern lights too🌸✨

I’ve been living here for 8 years and Oslo is one of the safest capital cities in Europe. The crime rate is very low, but there might be some pickpockets in touristy areas. As long as you look after your things, like you would any other place, you should be fine. Very safe to walk around the city, both during the day and the night, in my experience
Posted: March 16, 2026Oslo 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.
