I have lived in Sandnes since I was 3 years old, and have never experienced any sexual or physical assault when walking alone. Norway in general has very low criminal rates and Sandnes is a small town next to Stavanger, which is fairly safe to visit. Besides, almost everyone here speaks English so you won't have to worry about not being understood.

Located on the southwest coast of Norway, Sandnes is a dynamic city known for its rich history and natural beauty. Nestled between the majestic fjords and the beautiful sandy beaches, Sandnes makes for a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The city holds the title of being the 8th largest in Norway and is particularly renowned for its ceramics industry with the nickname "Pottery town". Landmarks like the Science Factory and the Vitenfabrikken Museum, teeming with exciting experiments and exhibits, cater to science lovers, while the Rogaland Arboretum, a lush park spread over 175 acres, is sure to capture the hearts of nature lovers. With a vibrant city life that harmoniously blends with its beautiful outdoors, Sandnes invites travelers for a unique Norwegian travel experience.
