How safe is Norway for solo female travelers?

I absolutely loved my time in Oslo, both exploring the city and enjoying the nightlife. I stayed at the “Bunks at Rode” youth hostel, which was a brilliant experience where I met some lovely people, and I felt very safe.

The City is very safe even for solo female travellers, but its very expensive there to get hotel rooms, food at restaurants oberen souvenirs. Oslo in winter is a beautiful experience that Im happy to have

That was my first solo trip so far up north ✨ and what an incredible experience! Exploring the fjords, making new friends, and immersing myself in Norwegian culture, thanks to a few lovely Norwegian girls I met along the way. 🇳🇴 Beyond the Northern Lights, the north has so much to offer: fabulous, untamed nature with a real Alaskan spirit! 🏔️🌿

I have walked the pilgrimsway Olavsleden form Oslo to Trondheim. The entire trip took about a month and I saw many diffrent facettes of the country. The route went trough woods, next to streets, trough citys and villages, over mountains, and many more environments. Troughout the whole trip, I felt very safe. I was never in danger of loosing the route or being unable to find shelter or food/water. The pilgrimsway is well organized and many locals offer their private propertys as accomodations....

I went solo travelling to Lofoten islands and was very impressed by everything 😄 The nature is amazing, you don’t even have to hike too high to see the sights, which were amazing there! The safety was on a very high level, I would say even better than in rest of Norway and we all know Norway is one of the safest countries 😇

This spring I visited Bergen. Beautiful city and magnificent nature. We didn't spend much time there, but it left us with so many wonderful memories. The best part of the trip was definitely the cruise through the fjords and of course the summit of Ulriken Mountain 🌸💖 I hope to return to Norway again soon)))

A weekend cost me 1k because Norwegian airlines is no good. Never book with them. They're so bad they tainted a really good experience cause Norway is in fact very beautiful but you have to go with a good budget

Everything about the trip was amazing like the places, the stay, the food, and all the activities. I visited during summer, and the experience felt unreal from start to finish. Traveling as a group made it even more fun and memorable. From cruises to train rides and flights, every part of the journey was beautiful in its own way. Norway gave me one of the best experiences ever, and it’s definitely a place I’d love to visit again and again.

My favorite place in Norway is Ålesund. I really loved the artistic and colorful vibe there. If you go to Norway, I really recommend there. More than Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, I felt that they have beautiful atmosphere. A view from the hill was splendid and there are a big library and some cafes. Highly recommend 💕💕

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!!

Bergen is extremely safe even at night. People sleep early here. Not many people out on weekdays at night but on weekends you can find people in bars. In Any case you can walk around mid night and you won’t get any trouble.

Very safe in general. Nothing unsafe happens in this town. The constant rain makes people stay inside so😂 I wouldn’t say there’s a specific area in town were it’s very unsafe. But there are homeless people everywhere in the city. Some days might be good and some don’t. Better to not interact

Overall very safe and low crime rates. In crowded areas pickpocketing can of course occur, so general awareness is always recommended. I feel very safe walking pretty much everywhere, night time included.

Stavanger is very safe! I walk or take public transportation alone after dark without any issues, but I would of course always recommend taking a taxi home late at night if you’re alone and unfamiliar with the area :)

A place in Norway with plenty of farms and fields, not much to worry about. Low crime rate and low population density, generally not too many people. No large city center. Neither dangerous for men or for women.

Really safe both day and night. In daytime the city is full of people walking and shopping by in the shopping street. In the night it’s no one outside, on the weekends Poole is out partying but never experienced anything bad or unpleasant. Never felt uncomfortable
