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.

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

Bergen is a very safe city. You can leave your car, door or bike unlocked while you go shopping. In my experience I don't feel followed or stared at. I can walk through the city with my headphones on noise canceling and I have no problems.

I have never felt unsafe in Voss. It's a quiet town, small but with everything you may need. There's not much nightlife, but you can find some events. There's always someone at the bars or at the lake. The only safety problem that I can think of is drunk people you may find, especially on national holidays.
