Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Norway as a destination for visitors from Iceland?

Norway is an appealing destination for many Icelandic travelers, thanks to its stunning fjords and natural landscapes. With over a million foreign visitors each year, it offers a serene and grand experience that could attract a portion of the 100,000 Icelanders who travel abroad annually.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Norway for tourists coming from Iceland?

Norway is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Iceland. It ranks 18th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Iceland's 3rd place ranking. According to the Global Peace Index, Norway is ranked 28th out of 160 countries, again not as safe as Iceland, which holds the top position. In terms of murder rates, both Iceland and Norway have similar statistics, with a rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people. Other crime indices show that while both countries have low levels of organized crime, Norway has slightly higher scores in certain areas, indicating a marginally higher risk compared to Iceland. Overall, while Norway is safe, it is advisable for tourists to remain aware of their surroundings, as they would in any foreign country.
