Is Tromso Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

So incredibly beautiful 😍 It was perfect weather so i had the pleasure to see northern lights both nights I was there! Public transport is also pretty good for such a small city :) Be prepared to spend some money tho. Tromsø is no cheap place...

Solo travel

I stayed 4 days in Tromso with my mom. Everything was supper expensive , but nice and clean. The scenery is beaitiful. We went to see the seals at the oceanarium and we did a husky ride and raindeer feeding. All very nice experiences.

Tromso is very safe! However tours can be overbooked very quickly so please plan your trip and book in advanced! Food and accoms are expensive, highly recommend to cook. Do wear more layers too, especially if you are chasing the northern lights :) All the best and have fun there!

Solo travel

Best place in Scandinavia to visit especially in the winter. Fjords, mountains, city, chasing Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights are just some of the tourist attractions one should not miss. And the best of all — locals are friendly and generous people.

Recently, I saw the Northern Lights in Tromsø, Norway, on a solo trip. Missed them in Iceland years ago, but luck was on my side this time! Accommodation - very good Things to do - northern lights tour, Sami village

Tromsø is one of the best places to observe the Northern Lights. I was there in February and it was really cold, so remember to pack warm things. I spent my time chasing the Northern Lights, feeding reindeer, and taking part in an Arctic tour. You can easily get around the city by buses, English is commonly spoken, and there are many day trips to choose from.

I spent a week in Tromso and I would go back there in a heartbeat. I definitely recommend the Northern Lights and whale watching, as well as the fjords (both boat and coach tours are equally worthwhile). I also participated in a winter snowmobile rally in the Skibotn valley and night-time dog sledding.

Safe city to walk around, and you will find helpful people. The northen part of Norway people are more helpful and meeting. When it comes to Tromsø it has a bit of tourists during the winter - wich some people may not be a big fan of (government is not doing enough). But you are safe as a single woman here.

tromsø is a very safe city for everyone. you can walk alone as a woman without having to fear an attack, also the inhabitants are really friendly and welcoming. there are also a lot of tourists and erasmus students

I feel safe walking home alone at night and the snow on the pathways is literally the only thing that can make you insecure because it’s slippery sometimes. The bus is the only public transport here but it runs quite regularly, also at night.

I have never felt unsafe walking around in Tromsø — no matter the time of the day or the area. It cannot be compared to other bigger cities I have visited outside Norway. People are extremely considerate and I haven’t experienced anything threatening from others. The biggest safety issue is the weather and geo hazards if you’re seeking to go hiking or skiing.

Very safe, not dangerous at all, you don't have to worry, just enjoy the city, it's safe. You can be anywhere, at any time. All alone - no one will touch you unless you want that. Of course some drunk people in the club might be a bit much, but just tell them you don't like it and they will go away.

Generally very safe. Low crime and violence rates. Walking alone at night is not a problem anywhere here, but it's hard to feel completely safe, just like anywhere else. Public transport is in general very safe, during nights on the weekends it can be loud and people can be quite intoxicated.
