Is Malmo Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Malmo

Every town has crimes but I think overall that Malmo is a town of diversity and safety. I really like to hang around möllan/Folkets park/the city centre/some parks during the day/the library/the beaches

Despite its sometimes unsafe portayal, I‘ve never felt safer in my life than in Malmö (I‘m originally from Germany). Rarely, there are gang-related incidences but that‘s not just Malmö-specific. So far, I haven‘t felt unsafe at all when walking, biking or commuting during the day or at night-time:)

In my opinion this is a very safe place to live and travel, I walk everywhere and I've never felt unsafe. I know there has been some news about unsafe things here but I didn't see it at all. In fact I have this conversation frequently with my friends and we are all agreed 🥰

Malmö is a town with a lot of diversity where you can find everything, good neighborhoods and less good but overall I have never felt unsafe walking around alone in the central part of town. Malmö may have a reputation of being full of crime but it really only affects(99% of the time) those who are already involved in that way of life

As every town, Malmö has different areas varying in safety matters. Areas like Rosengård, Sofielund, Persborg or Hindby are definitely not worthy a visit specially as a young female traveller. Nevertheless other areas are completely safe at night and a woman risks nothing going there

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.
