Solo Female Travel in Stavanger

Group travel experience

i felt safe, like in all norway. i reccomend hikes around because Stavanger is not big itself, we mostly cooked in aribnb, my friend had a car, we drove from lillehammer. i don’t have much money so it was cheaper by car than plane.

Couple travel experience

I was on this trip with my bf and we felt very safe even in the night time. We stayed at airbnb (north of the city, the ladie name is Gerda and she was very sweet!) Its easy to travel there by buses and trains, the center of the city is interesting and there a lot of hikes u can do if u like this vibe :) its expensive place- we were cooking for us so i dont have places to reccomend for eating. Place is worth to see it

Very safe. You can check the statistics and there is almost no crime I have lost my phone 4 times and I got it back the four times. There are cameras in the buses I have never experienced any kind of harassment

There is practically no sexual harrassement. Quite progressive in terms of feminism, although sometimes I do worry about the exceptions. People tend to get very drunk and some men can be very insisting/pushy at bars/clubs, but usually it stops there.

As a foreigner living in Stavanger, these are my main insights: Is it safe for women? Very safe, very low risk of pickpockets Things to do: hiking to Pulpit rock, take a boat to pulpit rock, visit old Stavanger, visit the oil museum, go the colors street and grab a drink, take a ferry to one of the small islands in the area. Hiking tips: download “all trails” and “UT” apps (or go to the website) to see all the trails details. Best time to visit: spring and summer If visit in winter: it’s still cozy with lots of winter lights all over the city. If you like skiing, go to Sirdal, 2 hs max from the city and there is a bus that takes you there Transportation: buy a daily/ weekly pass in Kolumbus app. You can use the bus, the ferrys and the bikes. You can also rent scooters

- Stavanger is a small place, it’s safe for women. - You can visit Tom&Lello, Loft og Alf&Werner for a good nightclub. - Polka, HarryPepper and Villa22 is a good place to eat. Not to expensive and has good food. - Pulpit rock is a good walk, and an experience I would definitely recommend.
