How safe is Malmo for women?

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!

Is Malmo safe to travel?

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. Spectacular view of the city from the rooftop

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.

About Me

I'm Suz, a storyteller. I'm a producer, podcaster, wonderjunkie and culture/art-lover. I'm big on strolling in the city, exploring local stuff, chilling on rooftops, eating at cozy cafe's, checking out culture events (I'm a nerd and sucker for music, movies, photography, dance etc and I myself work as a artistic producer and production manager for a summer festival in Malmö, Sweden). Oh and I can talk about spirituality, inner work, shadow-work and self-awareness for hours and hours. If you're curious about meditation, breathwork, ice bath, body-oriented psychotherapy and so on - I'm here for it! 😁✨️
