How safe is Gothenburg?

Gothenburg is a safe town, the public transportation is widely accessible and easy to navigate. The town is not too big and it is easy to get around, people are always happy to help and everyone speaks English.

It is one of Swedens biggest cities, so of course, as a woman, one always has to be a bit cautious depending on the situation. But overall, it's definitely a peaceful and charming city with friendly people.

Solo travel experience
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.

Solo travel experience
Accommodation: I can recommend Slottsskogens hostel. Recommendations: Gothenburg is not a big city and it does not have as many attractions to see compared to other European cities, but it is worth trying to see a bit of nature around it if you like forests/oceans. I really recommend doing a day trip to one of the archipelagos, you can easily get there by public ferry, and they are beautiful.
