Is Malmo Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Malmo

Malmö used to have higher rates of crimes a few years ago, but has calmed down now. As long as you don't visit certain neighbourhoods at night, you'll be completely fine. Those neighbourhoods tend to be Rosengård, Lindängen, Persborg etc.

I’d say that overall it’s pretty safe. Of course there are areas where it may be necessary to be more careful. In those suburbs it’s safer to not be at out at night, although during the day it doesn’t seem to be unsafe. Otherwise my experience in the past years has been quite positive.

Safe in the city centre as well as outside of it. As long as you are not a part of a criminal gang you should definetly be fine. Be critical to what you hear from people that actually do not live in Malmö.

Overall, there’s a lot of nice people, but of course there’s always a risk of meeting someone bad. But if you stick together with other people you almost never have to worry! Some places are worse then others, but in the central places you feel safe

It’s in Sweden, which is safe country for everyone in overall. Malmö considered to be one of the dangerous cities in Sweden, but for me, here’s a lot of students, young people. If to be careful, then it’s absolutely no problem to stay safe!

Solo travel

The City of Malmo relatively safe, quite expensive so not a safe option for a low budget trip, I am from the tropics so I didn't like the Spring weather, however I loved the Spring bloom, I stayed at the Clarion live hotel, a walking distance from the Central Train Station, highly recommended.

I didn't fall in love with this city, this might have been due to the season in which I was there (November), but the place seemed quite empty and expensive to me. I only spent one day there (arriving by train from Copenhagen) and I felt safe all the time.
