Is Gothenburg Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Gothenburg

I felt VERY safe there. The whole city is pretty chill. I haven't seen anything that might be conserning, all people were super nice and helpful. People there usually mind their own buisness, but if you ask them for anything they're always happy to help you💕💕

I’ve lived in Gothenburg for 22 years and I’ve never experienced any harassment or crimes towards myself or anyone I know. As a woman I’ve never felt unsafe walking alone at night. There is some gang crimes so I would still recommend to stay vigilant but you don’t need to feel unsafe or scared.

It's a pretty safe city. You just have to know which areas to avoid and ofcourse not take too many risks. It's best to always check which areas locals say to avoid. But with every big city there are always risk.

It’s pretty safe but I won’t be walking alone at night. There are a lot of different cultures and some of them are new to Sweden with different values and views. So I don’t feel totally safe. However, during the day is more than safe :)

A very safe place except really one or two specific area, i have been living since 6 months and moved to Gothenburg alone.public transportation is really good and convenient which i think also gives and assurance on safety front.

Pretty safe, avoid "nordstan" at night perhaps, mostly drunks to avoid at night. Pubs are pretty safe with friends. "Andra lång" street by the tram station "järntorget" has really fun pubs an nightlife but most things close at 2.

It was very cozy and lovely. Visited some museums and walked around the city and hiked to the Bergsjön in the morning. There was a beautiful lake and view to the whole city. Met some friends and they showed me around.

Gothenburg is my hometown. Everywhere downtown is really safe, I even used to walk home alone from night clubs in the middle of the night and I have never felt unsafe.
