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.

As a solo traveller and a student, my budget was really low but fortunately I got a host , she was wonderful and she made me feel at home. I explored Oslo and the next day I went to Hamar. It was beautiful. I was so lucky to see Northern lights too🌸✨

I stayed & travelled around Oslo for 3 weeks. As someone from the U.S., I felt safer walking around at night there than I ever have in the daylight here. Transportation is safe & easy w/the Reuter app
Posted: November 16, 2025Oslo is quite safe, in general. Of course there are incidents here too, but I feel it’s safer than other countries. Maybe the Friday and Saturday nights are a bit more intense because of drunk people
Posted: October 22, 2025I have been living here one year and going out alone sometimes and using public transportation, walked around in dark. I haven’t experienced any criminal behaviour myself and feel quite safe. I would be more alert in some areas like Grønland, Tøyen and area around Oslo S.
