Is Oslo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

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:))

Overall very safe for a capital city. Pocket theft is a bit of an issue on public transport near city center, bike theft a major issue. Very little violent street crime, and when it occurs mostly among criminal groups or in connection with drug dealing. Would avoid area around Vaterland at late night, and exercise caution in the intersection Storgata/Brugata due to drug issue.

One of the safest city you can travel to. Oslo is easy to navigate. You can explore and see most of the attractions by foot. English language is widely used, the public transportation is excellent, and the city is clean.

I spent eight days in Oslo in June. The weather was amazing, and of course it was light until very late. The parks, palaces, museums, saunas, food and people are wonderful. The waterfront area is full of great restaurants. I loved it and plan to return there.
