My favorite place in Norway is Ålesund. I really loved the artistic and colorful vibe there. If you go to Norway, I really recommend there. More than Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, I felt that they have beautiful atmosphere. A view from the hill was splendid and there are a big library and some cafes. Highly recommend 💕💕

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!!

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.

The city is extremely safe, no catcalling or other harrasment happening, one of the places I felt the safest, but it very expensive and the city itself is not that big, so the amount of activities is limited.

Larvik has some issues with drugs, you might see some people affected on the streets. Overall it should be fine as long as you have some common sense regarding walking around at night and stuff like that

Safe… you need to be very unlucky or looking for trouble if you find it. There have been a few reports of local youth mugging people, but I’m pretty sure they mug each other. The park contains a few drug addicts but they’re usually harmless.

It is very safe and everyone minds their own business. At night the streets are empty and quiet. When the bars are open there is a lot of security and bouncers watching over. Its mostly students and families.

Oslo
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
