Is Stockholm Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Stockholm

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.

I rarely feel unsafe in central Stockholm. I have never been catcalled or followed here and even during the nights its safe. Mugging is very uncommon and its easy to get help if you would ever need it. Bars and nightlife is very safe and have never heard of anyone being drugged here. Also, I am one to sleep in Public transport, any day, any time => meaning very safe as well. Only places you should not go are far out suburbs (Södertälje, jordbro, Rinkeby, tensta and some around there)

Most crimes against women in Stockholm are sadly committed by men who already know the woman in question, therefore i’d say that traveling in public transport and walking at night is fairly safe compared to other countries

I would say Stockholm is one of the safest cities in the world for women, POC and LGBTQ+ people. Of course one is always gonna be watchfull at night just in case but I have never been genuinely worried something was going to happen to me.

Stockholm and Sweden in general is going through a tuff time as there have been some problems with criminal gangs etc. But me and my friends are not worried for our safety. It’s overall a safe city and I’m never worried and I think you shouldn’t be either.

Group travel

I was travelling with a group and they made sure we are extra safe but, walking alone at night no sense of fear. IN A CAPITAL. safest i ever felt truly. also culture, gastronomy and sightseeingwise it is definitely on top. made me realise i want to move to sweden

Solo travel

I was shocked that stockholm was actually quite cheap. Only museums and public transport were very expensive. But loved the subway stations, loved the kardemumma buns, a little strange to walk everywhere on red light 😂 Overall fun to see, but a bit boring to come back for me
