You are doing it all wrong. Just go to any Asian massage and ask for a happy ending. They can even give you the happy ending for free, it is the same with every Asian massage all over the world not just in Oslo and those Asians have fast hands.
You know, on the street you can end up getting bitten or beaten up, but Asian massage is inside, so you don't have to worry about that anymore. You know those Gypsies, Muslims or Indians are cheap people who work on the streets, but those Asians are people like us, they rent the houses so they need to pay for their rent and massage with a happy ending helps them to do that.
If you ever wondered why you have seen old white man with younger Asian girls, now you know. It is also funny sometimes when a family talks to some Asian women in a friendly way, because they all know each other, that women can know the husband even better than his wife. If you know, you know.

Nonsense, no Middle Eastern gentleman with sandals will accept a payment of 10 kroner, even if he is high on snuz.
The cheapest I ever paid was 1000 kroner for Aysla, but I doubt that was her real name and nothing really happened.
She bit my coock and ran off with my money while I was in the worst pain of my life.
Oh boy, and we Nordic people can handle a bit of pain. Let me tell you.
I didn't report it to the police because I think the whole transaction was pretty illegal, so it wasn't recorded in the crime statistics.

If you are a black man, consider going to Germany. German women under 30 would do absolutely everything for a black guy. I once lived in a large house with dozens young women (students), and there was a black man there. He slept with every single woman in that house, whereas men of other races were much less successful.

I want to move here from the US. I definitely don’t believe that it’s as dangerous as some are making ut seem. I want an easy life with beautiful countryside for me and my pup. What’s the best and most affordable areas?

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.

lmao I don't know if people here are just trolling at this point but you should know that Olsson and the Zimbabwe Times comments are just a satire of the people on this site that tells fear-mongering, over the top stories or facts and racist discourse just to give bad reputation to other big cities for apparently no reason
can on Jan 02, 2024:
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.
dina on Aug 16, 2023:
One of the comments said ” 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”
Zimbabwe Times? African News are so dumb.

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.
Evans on Mar 17, 2023:
hmm a few quite racist comments here.
We have to be better as humans, smh

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.

Pretty safe but shootings happen a lot in it.
East-side of Oslo on Jan 01, 2022:
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.

Oslo is still a relatively safe city but crime is increasing. We have had shooting and stabbings quite a lot the last few month. A lot of people are exaggerating here in the comments but a lot of people are naive and ignorant to the rise in crime.

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.

Born and raised in Oslo, lived here my entire life. I don't think I've ever felt unsafe, even once. You can walk down main street and back alleys drunk at 4am and it's fine. At least as a man, you don't really have to worry. As a woman you may want to worry about migrants. But I can't think of any place in Oslo that is unsafe. Especially the suburbs. There's so much exaggeration in these comments. Things also have not gotten worse in the past 3 years. That's just cognitive bias. Statistics show crime has gone down. But of course that's not the impression people get from the media, social media etc.

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!!!!!

i was killed 15 times in oslo last month alone. First off a gang of 4537264527 middle eastern men attacked me all at once and started raping me at the city center and no one cared cause this is normal. Then a building collapsed and crushed me. After respawning at the hospital the police accidently shot me 420 times thinking i was a rapist. How corrupt and unprofessional! Then by walking to the metro station, a jet flew right into my stomach and ejected me all the way to eastern Helsinki where a gang of 3827563 somalis was waiting for me. Luckily i escaped and went back to oslo. Never coming back !! Also at night it is said that a dragon spawns for 2 hours (usually at 3am) in Gronland where it shoots fire at people so beware !

Very safe, of course you need to distant from Africans and Arabs and you’ll be safe.
hansen on Oct 06, 2020:
Oslo is a very safe city. Take these data with a grain of salt. Just at night avoid the "ghetto style" neighborhoods, and apart from that, you are completely safe
