Is Stockholm Safe for Women?

Stockholm is truly a very safe country to both visit and live in. From the center to the suburbs. Its very rare that any kind of danger will occur. Its one of those places in the world that if im walking home alone in the middle of the night i dont even worry.

It is very safe unless you go into a bad area (at night around T-Cebtralen there’s drunk people but they won’t do anything to you). Worst thing you will be catcalled but even that it’s extremely rare

I’ve been living here my entire life, I don’t feel unsafe when I’m out by myself but as in all places, you have to be careful. But in general I have never experienced something awful och dangerous while being out in the city

I’ve been living in Stockholm for almost three years and I’ve never felt unsafe in the city. This doesn’t include all part of Stockholm there is definitely places that you should be a bit more careful and not go at night.

It's very very very safe in all areas except for a few select hot spots, as a tourist you're unlikely to ever run into these areas so don't worry! However it's not as safe as some Asian countries like Japan, please be mindful not to leave your laptop or phone unattended while you go to the toilet or such.

Solo travel

I stayed in Östermalm and there are lots of bars and restaurants in this area as it's very central, so I would recommend staying here. It was nice to see Gamla Stan/the old town and also Skansen and the Tivoli. I felt the nightlife was a little tame but it might be because the weather was terrible on the nights I went out (heavy rain)!
