Exercise normal precautionin Norway. Norway is generally a safe destination for travelers. Be aware of landslides and avalanches. Norway’s steep mountains make these common. Heavy summer rain or winter snow accumulation can cause them. A special kind of clay called “quick clay” (kvikkleire) can cause ground to collapse in some areas where people live. Keep your belongings safe. Watch your wallet, phone, and bags in busy tourist spots like hotels and transit stations. Review our Travel Guidance for Norway to learn how to prepare for a safe trip.
