Planning tips for solo travelers to Norway
Safest destinations in Norway for single travelers
With its low crime rate, progressive values, and deep respect for individual freedom, Norway is one of the most reassuring destinations for solo travel. Whether you're a solo female traveler, part of the LGBTQ+ community, or simply venturing out alone, the country offers a safe, inclusive environment. Oslo’s Grünerløkka district brims with friendly cafés and queer-friendly spots like Elsker. In Tromsø, you can chase the Northern Lights with local guides who know the terrain and ensure your safety.
English is widely spoken, even in rural areas, and locals are helpful without being intrusive. Hike solo through the Lofoten Islands, kayak in Geirangerfjord, or take the Flåm Railway—Norway’s transport system is dependable and user-friendly. With organized trails, well-lit urban centers, and a strong emergency response infrastructure, solo travel Norway-style blends awe-inspiring wilderness with modern-day security and welcoming communities.
Cost of traveling to Norway alone
Let’s be honest—Norway isn’t the cheapest destination, especially for solo travelers covering all expenses themselves. Daily costs for independent travelers on a budget can range from USD 70–100 for hostel stays, groceries, and public transit. Those opting for mid-range comfort can expect to spend around USD 150–200 per day, factoring in hotel accommodations, meals, and excursions.
Bookmundi’s structured solo tours in Norway start at around USD 150 per day. These include shared accommodations, guided activities, select meals, and stress-free logistics. Prefer your own space? Private rooms are available for an additional single supplement, which varies by tour.
While exploring Norway solo can be pricey, Bookmundi’s tours deliver excellent value by combining essentials with social, well-curated experiences.
