i felt safe, like in all norway. i reccomend hikes around because Stavanger is not big itself, we mostly cooked in aribnb, my friend had a car, we drove from lillehammer. i don’t have much money so it was cheaper by car than plane.

I was on this trip with my bf and we felt very safe even in the night time. We stayed at airbnb (north of the city, the ladie name is Gerda and she was very sweet!) Its easy to travel there by buses and trains, the center of the city is interesting and there a lot of hikes u can do if u like this vibe :) its expensive place- we were cooking for us so i dont have places to reccomend for eating. Place is worth to see it

Stavanger is very safe city. During 1,5 years nothing happened to me. I heard that area around main train stadion can be dangerous when is dark. During weekends it a lot of drunkies in centrum but also a lot of Police and security.

Very safe. You can check the statistics and there is almost no crime I have lost my phone 4 times and I got it back the four times. There are cameras in the buses I have never experienced any kind of harassment

There is practically no sexual harrassement. Quite progressive in terms of feminism, although sometimes I do worry about the exceptions. People tend to get very drunk and some men can be very insisting/pushy at bars/clubs, but usually it stops there.
