Is Bergen Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

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.

Bergen is a small town that is a very convenient city to start your travels into the norwegian mountains. There are a few interesting places to visit like the old wooden church that is easy ro reach by public transport.

Family travel

I went to Bergen with my twin sister. Things to know about Bergen: - It's a very safe city - To do: fish soups and fjords - There's no euro and it's a pretty expensive city It was a great expérience!

I felt really safe in Bergen, it's a small town but very touristic and that's why it's very expensive. I stayed in a youth hostel and I used the kitchen to cook my meals. There are a lot of interesting things to do around, just go to the tourist information and they will help you to choose a cruise, a hike or other many activites. My budget was about 70 euros each day.

Spent months waiting for a spontaneous trip to Bergen, because I wanted to choose a sunny week. The travel was more expensive this way but definitely worth it! You don't need more than 2-3 days to visit every sight, but you can spend a couple more days sailing to the fjords etc. Highly recommend!

I felt very safe in Bergen! I would recommend checking out fløyen and Bryggen! There was a lot of good food, I would recommend eating fish while you’re there! Norway is very expensive so keep that in mind, but overall I would recommend Bergen!

Family travel

I loved Bergen! We went on one of these get your guide tours and it was really worth it! We were a family of 3 (my dad, brother and me) and we stayed at the Scandic Neptun hotel! The breakfast was included, there were 3 single beds so it was perfect for our little trip! We took the train from Oslo to Bergen and had a stop at Myrdal, where we took the Myrdal train which was worth it as well! Can really recommend it! Check out the train schedules on google maps! Super easy and reliable!

I loved Bergen and felt very safe. I walked through Vidden, ate the most delicious seafood at an outdoor restaurant in the market, and then took a fjord cruise to Flam, returning to Bergen by train.

I was in Bergen for a few days in July. I visited Ulriksbanen and the views were magnificent. There are options for traveling / walking up and descent / walking back down. I also participated in a kayak tour around nearby fjords for a day, which was a wonderful experience.

Bergen was beautiful with such a rich history. I really enjoyed touring the fjord and I recommend it if you can.

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.

Very safe! It can be touristic and have many people during main season in summer, but mostly very private and silent city. Locals can be a little distant, but definitely mostly very kind and helpful if you need anything

I find Bergen to be very safe. As a 20-year-old woman, I’ve often walked home alone at night in the city center and felt comfortable. Bergen is full of students, and the student life makes the city lively, especially on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Norwegians can be a bit reserved, but I’ve never experienced theft or anything similar here. Of course, it’s always smart to keep an eye on your belongings, but overall I feel very safe and comfortable living in Bergen.

I’m privileged to live in a overall safe country, and Bergen is as safe to say the least! It’s considered a big city, but doesn’t feel like it. People are nice and friendly, and Norwegians are a bit more reserved so things usually go smoothly

Bergen and Norway in general is safe. Just dont get too wasted and walk around by yourself after 02 night time, and you will be fine. If you do wander of by yourself drunk after 2 you might get unlucky and meet some mean guys.

Bergen is safe in general. Me as a woman I feel safe. People don't bother anyone. You can freely walk. People are nice here and people will help you when you are in need. Easy to navigate and ask for help.
