Is Oslo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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.

I stayed in Oslo for a week. It was amazing. The whole city is absolutely beautiful. Felt extremely safe there, had 0 negative experiences. If you're visiting, I recommend buying a public transport ticket for a week or so in zone 1, it's way cheaper, I probably saved about 50 euros that way. The ferries are included in this zone and you must go visit the islands in Oslofjord, they are breathtaking. Also if you love nature you have to visit Frognerparken as well. Eating in restaurants is extremely expensive, so I'd recommend going to local grocery stores and buying the food there, you must try brunost, it's amazing. For accomodation, I'd recommend finding either a hostel or AirBnB (it was somehow way cheaper than hostels) somewhere on the edge of zone 1, since it'd be cheaper.

Solo female traveling in oslo. Always felt super safe even at night. Highly recommand taking a walking tour as it is an easy to make travel buddies. During the summer, I enjoyed taking the waterbus to visit the islands of the Oslofjord. It's an inexpensive lovely day trip especially for spending the day at the beach.

I didn't always feel safe in Oslo but I felt safer than in Romania . There's a card you can buy to travel in different zones of Oslo , there's an app too I think. Good food and drinks at Vulkan and cafés on Akerbrygge. Deichman biblioteks should be on your list too. Norwegians are friendly, nice people and their smile makes you remember them.

I had an amazing time and regret not staying longer. I highly recommend the Folk Museum, the Viking Ship Museum, Vigeland Park and a walk by the water to see the beautiful Opera House. I managed to try one nice dish - a Norwegian waffle with brown cheese, cream, and jam. It was delicious. Initially, I felt incredibly uneasy being alone, but I felt safe and comfortable exploring the city.

I was there just last year. It is really a safe place. I never had any problems. Public transportation there is great. I really loved the Nobel Peace Museum and the Fram Museum. I stayed at the Citybox Oslo.

hey guys! i had a trip to oslo for one night and i got only 24 hours to see the city. It was enough for me because i got so tired from the walking/cold and i think i had the best moments of my life. First i wanna warn you about Oslo Torp airport, it is 1.5 hours away from the city and it was expensive than the plane😅 The weather was so so so nice when i get there. Almost everyone know english so it is nice to ask people. I started from the opera house, watched the sunset at the top, walked to the marina for 1 hour and it was night for me. I did couchsurfing in a guys house and he was lovely i felt so safe in Oslo. I didnt buy any food in Oslo because the guy cooked for me and i had other snacks through the day☺️ But i can say it is quite expensive. Next day i went to Lake Sognsvann and walked around it. It was frozen and people would ski and jug with their dogs! After i return to the city i went into the Munch Museum and i must say you should definitily go and see. That was my trip to Oslo:))

Just stay in the center of Oslo, and everything will be fine! Recommendations: Oslo is amazing if you love history. However, heading north for landscapes, hiking, and culture is a must.

Oslo is quite safe. I have walked home alone at night many times. But, of course, use normal caution when walking alone at night through parks or by Aker river. Oslo has a lot of forest and it's very accomodated to visit. You can easily just pop up a tent and make a fire at the designated fire places. Robberies happen, but it's not very common. I think if you forget your wallet anywhere, it will probably just be there when you go back for it or someone will find it and try to contact you to pick it up.

Oslo is a rather safe town. It har crimes as all bigger city’s. I felt safe living in Oslo, and did not worry going home alone at night. As a general advice i would avoid walking alone through parks at night, just in case.

sharing 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!
