Safety and Security

SAFETY AND SECURITY: Americans worldwide face the potential for terrorist attack and though Norway offers a relatively safe environment, it shares with the rest of the world an increased threat of terrorist incidents of international origin. Although Norway offers a relatively safe environment, the potential exists for trans-national terrorism. Political violence in Norway manifests itself mainly through demonstrations. Most demonstrations in Norway occur in Oslo near Norwegian Government buildings and are normally peaceful. Anti-American sentiments are most commonly expressed in small, planned, usually peaceful demonstrations against a particular U.S. policy. These protests are most often staged near the American Embassy or in central areas of Oslo and target specific official U.S. Government policies rather than U.S. citizens.

For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings and Public Announcements can be found.
