There is a red light district from Karl Johan's street to the harbour. Prostitution is legal, but a bit complicated as purchasing services from prostitutes is a crime. Also beware as this area can be seedy.

Norway has a unified police force, or politi. In rural areas police officers are called lensmann. Police officers do not usually carry guns.

Natural Dangers

Warnings signs are rare as most Norwegians expect people to watch out for themselves. Where there are warnings, pay attention.
