I 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.

I West by myself to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the first week in october 2024. It was a dream come true! It wasn't much turists and the prices were really low. In The other side a lot of attraction was not to be able to book but It was very Nice anyway.
Posted: June 10, 2025Experienced: September, 2024Since we stayed with my father who lived there i can't say much about the housing/hotels. The beaches are very beautiful and there is one for every need(one with a water playground for kids, one with some volleyball nets etc.). There is also a Discgolf place with several holes that is very entertaining. If you got kids and like hinking I do recommend going to the town hall and get a map for a treasure hunt! You basically go hiking all around the city searching for letters to complete it and receive a small price in the end. Not in mandal directly but there is a cool place called Vildgarden were you can meet, pet and feet some moose (extremely cool)
Posted: May 7, 2025Experienced: May, 2023I 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.)

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...

Norway is an extremly safe county, one of the safest in the world. Would defenitly recommend visiting! Overall crime is low, and you can go around alone at night times without worring. Still be careful when drunk people are approating, as they can be a little touchy.

It’s one of the safest big cities i would say, but like all big cities there’s crime. Unlike crimes like murder or being assaulted, getting your bike stolen is one of the most common crimes here. Avoid some places at night though
