Oslo Warnings Or Dangers

It's located south of Karl Johan and the Central Station of Oslo, the area in itself didn't look dangerous at all but still is not the best place for families with kids. Anyway, the area is the one shown in rose inside the ellipse you find in the picture, at least as far as I know.

When using the public transport of Oslo make sure to always have a valid ticket or pass. Tickets have to be stamped when boarding a bus or tram. On the Metro you always have to stamp the ticket before boarding.
Once I ran into a ticket inspection when I was just about to leave a metro station. A couple of ticket inspectors were present at all exits, so there wasn't any chance to get away. Ticket fines are about 750 NOK. However, luckily I had a valid 7 day pass ... :o)

I?ve never met in my life such imperceptible beggars like in Norway. You usually can see them lying somewhere in the streets with no any aggressive means. I don?t think they are so dangerous or annoying in comparison with Russian ones, but anyhow it?s a dangerous for rich Oslo city itself to have them.

Dear citizens of Russia! Do not forget that Norway is a member of NATO, the block which was organized as a defense against the Soviet (now read Russian) threat. So when you walk around the quay and see the military vessel do not even try to show the crew your disrespect. Those guys will not understand your humor.

If you come to Norway in December, be prepared to be presented with Lutefisk - a true Holiday specialty. You will probably want to please your hosts, and "do in Norway as the Norwegians do." Lutefisk - dried cod soaked in potash lye - is something many Norwegians are proud of, and it comes in many varieties and different preparations. Well . . . You may want to prepare yourself by drinking a little aquavit before your lutefisk. Or perhaps a lot of aquavit would be even better.

It's kind of ironic to include that here, but I think this must be the most suitable place.

About warnings or dangers, I have to say I felt completely safe in Oslo. If anyone's been robbed or something, please let me know. I went several times around Oslo at night, and though the first times I was kind of alert, then I realised I felt safe. Nothing happened. And feeling safe at midnight in a city you are not from is definitely a point.

A danger?..... I think ice-covered sidewalks are a danger!! But then again, you learn how to walk no to fall, it's kind of instictive.

Another danger? Minus 20ºC and not much clothes is a danger! (luckily, I had been checking the weather so I was prepared)

So you see people in Norway are not really a danger, at least compared to other countries...

Watch out when you walk around the area of the central station. There can be some homeless people and some people using drugs asking for money around here...and I guess there is a lot of pickpockets too..

But it is pretty safe because the police and security guards walk around here to observe....and there is also security cameras installed around in this areas.

1-I can say that Oslo is one of the most expensive city in the world.
2- Don't go to Oslo during weekdays since there is no night life. People go out during weekends.
3- Don' even think about shopping.
