Oslo, Solo travel
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.

Went to Oslo in 2022 and had an amazing time. Beautiful city with great food and generally very nice people. I hiked in the area solo with no issue. Can be difficult to do currency conversion. Otherwise no issues

As a solo traveller and a student, my budget was really low but fortunately I got a host , she was wonderful and she made me feel at home. I explored Oslo and the next day I went to Hamar. It was beautiful. I was so lucky to see Northern lights too🌸✨

I am a very outdoorsy person, and we weren't there for very long, so that was my priority. I did so much hiking that while challenging provided some of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen in my life. I also did a Fjords cruise and couldn't recommend that more as it also provided gorgeous views and an amazing experience.

I stayed & travelled around Oslo for 3 weeks. As someone from the U.S., I felt safer walking around at night there than I ever have in the daylight here. Transportation is safe & easy w/the Reuter app

Norwegians love peace and quiet and they are very reserved, it can be a bit boring of so much silence, and not much to do. The level of crime is very low, but not 0, as a women i can walk freely at night and feel safe, the city it self its well made with safety ensurances

Its a small town where a lot of college students go out at night in the small city, nothing dangerous has happened. One should of course always be a little carefull, but i have been Walking outside in the middle out the night no problem

Oslo is quite safe, in general. Of course there are incidents here too, but I feel it’s safer than other countries. Maybe the Friday and Saturday nights are a bit more intense because of drunk people
