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.
Posted: June 26, 2025Experienced: May, 2025I 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.)
Posted: April 29, 2025Oslo is a beautiful city ❤️ amazing landscapes from the heart of the city center, also a maritime city 🥰 The same ticket for the public transportation is valid for bus, metro, tram, and also BOATS to the Oslo islands 🙌🏻 ✨Girly-friendly: Super safe for solo travellers 🎀 ✨Slow green city: It is not often to drive private cars in the city centre. Only public transportations, taxis or business cars. ✨Expensive night life: Drinks have high taxes here in Norway so alcohol in general is super expensive ✨Average price for a meal: 20-30€ ✨Water is always FREE in restaurants and bars I’d definetly recommend Oslo to a solo travellers! 🙌🏻 Beautiful landscapes, safe plus Oslo citizens tend to have a good taste in fashion! 🥰✨🙌🏻

Yes, i felt really safe since most of the population were locals and the city is well known for its safety. There were many museums, and galleries, and modern designed buildings except the expensive not that tasty food.

Like everything in Norway, Oslo is pretty calm city, with not a lot of activities especially on winter's time, but it feels very comfortable and safe for female solo traveler. But be prepared for extreme weather and prices:)

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
Posted: July 2, 2025Oslo is safe<3 You can always reach out to the people around you, and the police is always there to help. Try not to be around the central station at night, cause that’s often where all the addicts and homeless people are- however if you are friendly to them and respect them- they will do the same to you!
