Oslo, Norway
What 90% of solo women don't know about staying safe in Oslo.
Upscale residential area centered around Vigeland Sculpture Park. Very safe, expensive, quiet. Embassy district.
Oslo's upscale district. Embassy staff and wealthy Norwegians live here in tree-lined streets with classic Scandinavian architecture. Vigeland Sculpture Park is the main draw - large sculpture park where families and joggers spend time. The cafes and restaurants focus on quality over trends. People sit for hours over coffee. English is standard here since many diplomats and internationals live in the area. Very safe day and night with good lighting. Everything costs more than other neighborhoods, but you get what you pay for - actual quality, not tourist markups. It's quiet after evening hours. You'll see how well-off Norwegians live - understated, not flashy.
