Oslo was a very nice destination for a female solo traveler, for 3 days. I enjoyed the culture and the people, I felt safe during day and night times. I would recommend to stay at least 2 days to enjoy the city and the night life. I loved so much the fine art museum, and the beautiful streets. Norwegian are very friendly and welcoming.
Posted: August 13, 2025I felt super safe in fact my Airbnb host always left his front door open and unlocked and I felt absolutely safe at all times. I went to loads of museums and enjoyed the art and culture a lot. If you like paintings and art it's the best place. I recommend the Natural History museum in town it's amazing you can spend ages there. I also recommend taking the water taxi and going to the fjords. Also Vigeland park is a must see. It rains a lot in the summer so waterproof clothes would be good. Food is fine, expensive and nothing too special but it's good food. I would say look for traditional stuff. Fish and the brown cheese.
Posted: July 12, 2025Experienced: July, 2024I felt very safe. The city was amazing. It's simultaneously very peaceful and vivid. I enjoyed walking around very much, there are so many attractions- museums, parks, botanical gardens. The fjord looks fantastic.
Posted: June 26, 2025Experienced: May, 2025I actually got stuck there for two days as I was trying to fly home. But I didn’t mind because I got to explore Oslo. I ended up sleeping at the airport and exploring the city during the day. The bus system was easy, the town was clean, and it was easy to communicate in English. I didn’t go out at night, so I’m not sure how safe the nightlife is.
Posted: April 29, 2025Oslo, you cozy little beauty! Had such a lovely time wandering your streets — beautiful architecture, friendly people, and this calm, peaceful vibe tucked into every corner. But oh boy, for October, you were chillier than expected — I’m talking serious penguin-core weather. 🐧 I thought I packed enough layers… Oslo said, “Think again, pookie!” Would 100% recommend visiting — just maybe add one extra jacket you think you won’t need. (You will need it.)

As a local, it feels very safe. Never had any issues walking around alone after dark. I think the worst thing you could encounter as a tourist is pickpockets, but none of my friends who've visited or live here have experienced this.
