How safe is Stavanger for women?
Andrea
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.

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

About Me
I’m Maryanne from Norway. I have done a lot of solo travelling, primarily in Latin America, but also India and different places in Europe, including my own country. I also studied in the UK for 3 years. I love meeting new people and have met so many lovely people while solo travelling and people travelling to Norway. I’m outgoing and social and love the outdoors, but also appreciate a chill day inside with a coffee or a glass of wine. I’m fluent in Norwegian and English and know some Spanish as well.
