Is Stockholm Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Stockholm

In general Stockholm is very safe. There are few places you can go where others aren't around (in terms of street)which means you're not very likely to get attacked. There is however an ongoing problem with gangs, but they are mainly targeting each other so unless you're involved or related to it somehow the likelihood of it affecting you is low. It is however possible to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Public transport is also very safe and accessible, there is normally someone working in the entrance to every station and it's not uncommon to see security around the underground at night.

Stockholm is a very friendly city. Women can safely walk around at night without being approached by strangers or feel uncomfortable. I have lived here all my life and i have never experienced any kind of uncomfortable situation.

I’ve lived in Stockholm my whole life and honestly, I’ve always felt safe as a woman. I walk alone at night, take public transport and go out without worrying much. Sure, I stay alert like anywhere, but people are generally respectful and the city is clean and calm. It’s not perfect but overall it feels like a safe place to be.

It is quite safe in green, red line and also center, while the end of the blue metro line is well known for crime, shooting and ganging. Since i am here student and living mostly alone, I have not experienced any harassment or violence so far

I think Stockholm is very safe. I often come home late and it's never been an issue in the years living here. 🫶🏻 Obviously one should always be cautious and prepared for anything but I would say overall I feel safe here!

Stockholm is great, it's a bit dull during the autumn and winter seasons, but overall a bit pricey. People are very helpful and friendly and most of it's residents speak fluent English so that's great.

Stockholm is overall a safe city, especially compared to other cities like Barcelona where theft is common. But as a person I’m overall very worried about everything haha, but I have never experienced anything dangerous here in Stockholm. I walk at nighttime all the time, but as all places it’s smart to choose places and cities where it’s known to be calm and safe. Like all country’s and cities, Stockholm has its less safe and comfortable areas that’s smart to avoid as a turist. But Stockholm is beautiful and very nice, and people are very nice, but sometimes shy, which can come off as rude to some people!

The central area of Stockholm is generally speaking a safe area also at night. Roads can be calm after midnight and generally all streets are well-lit. Whether travelling via metro, bus or by foot, there’s a calm and safe ambient.

I would say Sweden is a very safe country for women overall. And my own experience is very good. It’s one of the most equitable countries in the world I think. I’m never afraid to walk home alone here in Stockholm

Right now there's more crime than before. We recently had a terror bombing in a school (the worst in sweden ever) and there's bomb threats. But for your average person stockholm is safe. I think tourists don't have to worry. It's only dangerous if you are already associated with the wrong people, which tourists are not 😅. I've never felt unsafe in my city, and there are DEFINITELY more unsafe cities in the world.

Solo travel

I did feel safe in Stockholm, I think it's a beautiful city. I stayed in a hotel near the main station, so I was travelling around with metro, by feet, or with the e-scooter. Stockholm has many delicious restaurants. You have to try the meatballs with mashed potatoes! You should visit the Gamla Stan, Södermalm and Solna (:

I felt safe in Stockholm, my hostel in gamla Stan was very affordable and I met some really lovely people. I feel like there could be some more affordable things to do but if you like walking around mew cities you'll find lots to do anyway
