Crime in Oslo, Norway

Having had to work in this shithole for the last decade... it's just getting worse and will keep getting worse.. Don't go out at night...

beautiful countryside? maybe American rich area or canada is better place.

i noticed some app that 2 users came from norway stated N word on some app, both of them are male and at a young age.

Its an alright city altough a lot of stabbings, shootings and mass fights. Stay vigilant during nightime in weekends, other than that your most likely good. There are a few robberies and pickpocketing during day time.

city center is pretty much safe, but got horrified with all the comments below, during daytime, it is a very much nice city, but during nights the amount of drunk teens and random immigrants popping up in every corner might be disrupting. because I never saw a police officer on the street once.

olsson's comment is full of lies. You guys can clearly see its fake, the same as the other comment below olsson's comment. They gotta train at lying better.

Oslo is quite safe compared to other big cities around the world and europe, common sense gets you far. The biggest problem would be to walk at night in some areas drunk especially as you might not see the situations clearly before to late, there is gangs and drug addicts and people been out partying taking some drug that might wanna start a fight for no reason etc, those situations is easily avoided by just taking a taxi from the club home etc..this is just a few areas thou and mostly the city is pretty safe even during night.

For the most part you probably would be fine walking throu those areas as well during night just passing throu, but why increase the odds for something bad happening, just avoid during night or take taxi.

There were 8 shootings I believe in the span of 2 months in Oslo, most of them occurring in the East-Side of Oslo. I am born & raised in Oslo, Norway. Gang violence and all-around violence is not the biggest problem here, but yet it still is a problem. Compering it to London, the crime rate is not that high, whereas London's crime rate is increasing drastically and relentlessly. Oslo East-Side is safe during the day, for the most part. Now for the nighttime in the city and etc, I would not be so sure. The crime rate percent has decreased a decent amount in the last decade, but the severity of brutal crimes is yet still increasing. Shootings and Stabbings is something that will happen no matter what, as the areas are majority full of immigrant residence, like myself.

Note: Please refrain from utilizing racial slurs on the forum post as it is unnecessary and it's derogatory. Keep the speech and comments friendly for the most part.

Im from spain and ive been living in oslo for some months. I live in the ''bad area'' (gronland) in a ''bad building'' (cheapest rent and negative reviews on google). People here just dont know what a dangerous neighborhood is. What mistaking firecrackers with gunshots is and not being able to sleep until you find out the next day if a tragedy happened or it was just some kids playing. A few drunks on weekends and people offering you weed? Dont be ridiculous for fucks sake. It really cant get any safer than oslo especially for a capital city. I love the fact that i can actually take night walks around the area, and with zero fear. And all the immigrants i know are good people.

Oslo is one of the world's most dangerous cities, according to the Zimbabwe Times, it is the third most dangerous city in the world after Stockholm and Mogadishu, the two largest cities in Somalia. I was riding the metro and accidentally exited at the wrong stop and ended up in a neighborhood called Stovner. It looked exactly like a Brazillian favela, with slums stacked on top of eachother, this area was more dangerous than Sao Paolo or Caracas, those places were paradise compared to Oslo. Anyways I got off the station and a Swedish man named Ahmad Farshid Bin Tlariq al Muqtadeen din Rashidi approached me as well as a Pakistani man named Salman Falmanrashidiqqi Siddiqui. They told me to convert to Islam. I was scared so I tried to cooperate, I asked them how, they told me it costs 5 million krone for infidels to visit the local mosque. After that I realize it was a scam. As I left the mosque, an SAS plane crashed into me and it made me fly all the way to Paris? And guess who else was in Paris?

Anyways in conclusion, Oslo is a very deadly city, if you care about your personal safety DO NOT VISIT!!!!!

Very safe, of course you need to distant from Africans and Arabs and you’ll be safe.
