Is Oslo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

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!!

Solo travel

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🌸✨

Oslo 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.

I 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...

I felt very safe. The city was amazing. It's simultaneously very peaceful and vivid. I enjoyed walking around very much, there are so many attractions- museums, parks, botanical gardens. The fjord looks fantastic.

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.

Oslo, 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.)

Oslo is a beautiful city ❤️ amazing landscapes from the heart of the city center, also a maritime city 🥰 The same ticket for the public transportation is valid for bus, metro, tram, and also BOATS to the Oslo islands 🙌🏻 ✨Girly-friendly: Super safe for solo travellers 🎀 ✨Slow green city: It is not often to drive private cars in the city centre. Only public transportations, taxis or business cars. ✨Expensive night life: Drinks have high taxes here in Norway so alcohol in general is super...

Yes, i felt really safe since most of the population were locals and the city is well known for its safety. There were many museums, and galleries, and modern designed buildings except the expensive not that tasty food.

Overall very safe and low crime rates. In crowded areas pickpocketing can of course occur, so general awareness is always recommended. I feel very safe walking pretty much everywhere, night time included.

Oslo is overall safe, however after certain hours beware of places like Grønland and Brugata. Unsafe as in people doing drugs in the streets, stabbing incidents, gang violence. Oslo Central Station and Oslo Busterminal are often used as meeting points for certain criminal gangs. Beware of your surroundings and personal belongings at all time.

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

Oslo 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.

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
