based on 35 experiences from female travelers
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🌸✨
Posted: October 7, 2025Experienced: August, 2025Oslo 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.
Posted: August 13, 2025I felt super safe in fact my Airbnb host always left his front door open and unlocked and I felt absolutely safe at all times. I went to loads of museums and enjoyed the art and culture a lot. If you like paintings and art it's the best place. I recommend the Natural History museum in town it's amazing you can spend ages there. I also recommend taking the water taxi and going to the fjords. Also Vigeland park is a must see. It rains a lot in the summer so waterproof clothes would be good. Food is fine, expensive and nothing too special but it's good food. I would say look for traditional...

I stayed & travelled around Oslo for 3 weeks. As someone from the U.S., I felt safer walking around at night there than I ever have in the daylight here. Transportation is safe & easy w/the Reuter app
Posted: November 16, 2025Oslo is quite safe, in general. Of course there are incidents here too, but I feel it’s safer than other countries. Maybe the Friday and Saturday nights are a bit more intense because of drunk people
Posted: October 22, 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.
Posted: September 9, 2025As a local, it feels very safe. Never had any issues walking around alone after dark. I think the worst thing you could encounter as a tourist is pickpockets, but none of my friends who've visited or live here have experienced this.

It’s one of the safest big cities i would say, but like all big cities there’s crime. Unlike crimes like murder or being assaulted, getting your bike stolen is one of the most common crimes here. Avoid some places at night though
