Gamle Oslo is one of Oslo's 15 official bydeler (city boroughs). Oslo kommune's own police-sourced Statistikkbanken data recorded 9,499 reported offences with their place of occurrence here in 2024, across a population of 63,721 residents — a rate of 14,907 offences per 100,000 residents, roughly 1.6× the citywide bydel average. This rate is calculated against registered residents, not footfall, so a busy central or nightlife/shopping-heavy bydel can read higher without that meaning it is unusually risky to walk through, and a quiet residential bydel can show a low rate simply by having few offences relative to its population. This is Wandroz's official-data layer for Oslo — real Oslo kommune Statistikkbanken figures, not a qualitative or press-based judgment — and the source data is not split here by time of day, so both figures shown here are the same.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gamle Oslo safe?
Wandroz currently rates Gamle Oslo in Oslo as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Oslo. This rating is derived from Oslo kommune's official Statistikkbanken crime statistics — an official statistic, not an assessment. High-footfall tourist, transit or shopping areas can read higher on this kind of measure without that meaning elevated risk per visit, since these statistics are normalised against registered residents rather than footfall — see the note on this page and the methodology page for the full caveats. The source data has no day/night breakdown, so this single rating applies at any time of day rather than being a distinct night-specific figure.
Does Gamle Oslo's rating differ between day and night?
No — Gamle Oslo's source data has no time-of-day breakdown, so the same rating (an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Oslo) is shown for both day and night rather than Wandroz inventing a separate night figure it doesn't actually have.
Is Gamle Oslo a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Gamle Oslo's day rating (an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Oslo) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches Gamle Oslo itself.
