How safe is Stavanger?
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
Posted: July 21, 2024There 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.

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.
