it's quite safe in my area(frogner, oslo). But at night in the city centre on the weekend, there are people doing hard drugs on the streets and i don't feel safe walking amongst them. But keep to the nice areas if you want to walk alone at night.
Posted: June 17, 2025Oslo is pretty safe compared to other capital cities. The population is the biggest in Norway, but it’s not crowded or super busy at all times. You may also leave your stuff unwatched in some cafes without it being stolen.
Posted: June 8, 2025My personal experience is that Oslo is a safe city. Oslo feels safe during daytime. At night there might be streets that are totally “empty” and it is best to walk where there are people and avoid walking alone.
Posted: June 7, 2025Oslo is a highly safe place where I feel safe with walking home at night. Of course there are some parts of the city where there is a more concentrated area of ‘weird’ environment, but it has never been dangerous for me.
Posted: June 2, 2025It’s pretty safe in Oslo city center. Some low level crime in some places, especially in rural areas far from the city center. Those are local areas where usually no tourists go to. Avoid being alone at night time in those areas, especially for females who doesn’t want male attention.

I have lived in Oslo for thirteen years, and very few times felt unsafe! As long as you stay by the crowded streets by night or by going home from public transport. I trust police officers. Some guards can be violent at clubs, but rearly and if so, rapport them to someone local. I have experienced sexual harassment, as woman and as queer woman. Uncomfortable, but not violent.

I actually got stuck there for two days as I was trying to fly home. But I didn’t mind because I got to explore Oslo. I ended up sleeping at the airport and exploring the city during the day. The bus system was easy, the town was clean, and it was easy to communicate in English. I didn’t go out at night, so I’m not sure how safe the nightlife is.
Posted: April 29, 2025Oslo, you cozy little beauty! Had such a lovely time wandering your streets — beautiful architecture, friendly people, and this calm, peaceful vibe tucked into every corner. But oh boy, for October, you were chillier than expected — I’m talking serious penguin-core weather. 🐧 I thought I packed enough layers… Oslo said, “Think again, pookie!” Would 100% recommend visiting — just maybe add one extra jacket you think you won’t need. (You will need it.)
