I drove through Norway by car. The city of Oslo is beautiful to look at. I drove from Oslo to Bergen and it was a very beautiful route. The people are very nice and friendly. Everything is clean and you feel extremely safe.
Posted: October 8, 2024Grand fjord views and rock climbing experiences in a country where nature is so breathtaking. Oslo the capital city is good for meandering. I visited the city library, where I would like to stay for a whole day.

I stayed 4 days in Tromso with my mom. Everything was supper expensive , but nice and clean. The scenery is beaitiful. We went to see the seals at the oceanarium and we did a husky ride and raindeer feeding. All very nice experiences.
Posted: September 6, 2024I traveled to Oslo and l liked it. But for the Oslo, one and half day is enough to travel. I do not recommend Torp Sandefjord airport to fly off if you need to be there at nighttime. Because even in April it is too cold and you will need to walk until airport from the train station, rings don’t work. I walked in the blinding dark untill to airport. Also, because they were cleaning the airport they closed the airport untill they finish it. You have to wait outside untill they open it again in the cold weather.
Posted: August 24, 2024I went to Preikestolen this summer with my two children. It is in the south west of Norway and is a must see for visitors to that region. It is steep and a bit rocky so wear good shoes. I van recommend going in the late afternoon.

I went on a hitchhiking trip first from Rovaniemi in Finland to Tromso in Norway with a friend. But then I continue solo from Tromso to the Netherlands. It was on of my best travel experience ever. Hitchhiking in Norway may take a bit of time since their is not much car but people are so nice and I met so many wonderful person. I went through the Lofoten Island, which was breathtaking all the way. I cannot emphasise how this should be anyone destination if they go in Norway. Especially in may and June where there is not a lot of people but it’s supper sunny (if you’re lucky). So much spot to hike, paddle, and wonder around. Hitchhiking was really easy on those island, never waited more than 5/10min. You can also camp everywhere with your tent, and it’s 100% worth it! So much thing to talk about this trip, if you want to know more don’t hesitate to send me a message :)
Posted: August 11, 2024sharing from the local: Nature stuff: - Maybe take the ferry to one of the islands, maybe Hovedøya. You take the boat with a normal bus ticket. - If you have the time, go to bogstad gård. I would say it’s the prettiest lake in Oslo, you can swim there, walk around and have a kanelsnurr - You should really stop by botanisk hage! It’s close to city center and really pretty! - The kings castle have a really pretty park! Culture stuff: - I would really recommend the national gallery! It’s new and kinda different I would say to other museums! I go there maybe twice a week myself. It’s so peaceful and astonishing at the same time. - You can have a tour in the kings castle, it’s interesting I think! Foods and drinks!: For coffee the cafe “Time Wendelboe” is world class! But there’s a lot of coffee places that are good, Norwegians love their coffee.. I really like the Italian food at Baltazar ristorante! The best Chinese food is probably Szechuan Chengdu by Grunerløkka. There’s a bunch of god sushi places just don’t eat at Sabrura❌ it sucks. I would also stay away from Egon! For Norwegian food i like Fiskeriet on Youngstorget, they got fish mostly! Here’s a link to all the best Norwegian restaurants but it’s written in Norwegian:/ https://www.visitoslo.com/no/artikler/norske-restauranter/ Shopping: - For vintage shopping, grunerløkka have some good stores like good vibes vintage, Robot, Frøken Dianas salonger and velouria vintage. - For classic shopping i would recommend Svean on Frogner, they get a lot of Scandinavian clothing. - Dapper on Grunerløkka, they mostly have menswear but a lot of it I would say is unisex. - Ganni postmodern and Acne archive also on grunerløkka! Mostly women’s fashion. It’s really cool! - - Valkyrien is a shopping mall on majorstua with stores like Other stories and Moniker, both cool stores one with mostly women’s clothing and the other a sports store. + a bunch of other stores. - Steen og strøm in Karl Johan is cool, more brands that are well known, four floors of different things. - Paleet is a shopping mall in Karl Johan as well closer to the kings castle. They have a really good clothing store on the second floor!

I felt very safe during my time in Oslo, even though it was only a night! People were friendly. The transport and food is expensive, but there’s enough to see in the city for an evening. I enjoyed my time there and would recommend to other solo female travellers

Oslo is a lovely, clean city. People were very friendly and the city is very safe. There are lots of museums and art galleries. The public transportation is very easy to navigate. There are many parks and restaurants. I did a walking food tasting tour (from Viator) to learn more about the local foods and history. The city is very walkable and it wasn't difficult to find people who spoke English. I stayed at an Airbnb apartment near a train station, walking distance to the dock where I was taking a cruise. Since I used public transport and travel light enough to carry my stuff, I never needed a taxi or ride share service.

Most neighborhoods are very safe also after dark. Would stay away from certain areas of downtown late at night by yourself as a woman if there are not a lot of people around. Grønland has a lot of petty crime, but generally safe during the daytime.
Posted: October 31, 2024I would say Oslo is pretty safe. Although we have experienced more crime lately, it’s mostly gang related and not a concern for others. But as a woman, you always want to take precautions no matter where you are.
