Crime Rate & Women's Safety in Stockholm

Stockholm is a very safe city. People are friendly and its easy to get around with trains and busses. Beware of your belongings, could be some pick pocketers. Relatively good prices on stuff and they have information centers almost everywhere. Good luck!

Stockholm is a safe city where people respect your boundaries and are very respectful. Rules are important and Swedes respect them. In Stockholm I don’t mind going home alone even if it’s late and dark.

As with most big cities, it’s important to keep an eye on your belongings since there are pickpockets but otherwise Stockholm is a very safe city. You can walk around at night, go to different areas in the city and it is safe.

It depends on where in Stockholm you are. It’s overall safe, but avoid streets with no lights. Daytime it’s never a problem though and most people will help you if you are ever in trouble. Overall it is a very nice city!

I would say it’s a pretty safe city, especially in the central parts of town where there is always lots of people in movement. Although the night life in Sweden closes at around 3-5 am, which makes it a bit more lonely in the streets late at night. Pick pocketing is not that common and general abuse is also very rare.

Stockholm is a great city for solo female travellers. Of course common sense should be used after dark and in vulnerable situations such as spiking at clubs etc. Just be aware of your surroundings and Stockholm is one of the safest places to visit as a woman of all ages.

I live in the city, on sodermalm, and have always felt comfortable walking home and alone at night. There have been times when I’ve walked home from the bar quite drunk for almost an hour and it’s always been okay. I would say Sthlm is a super safe city

Overall very safe! Public transport is safe to use both day and night and reliable. As in any big city, there can be risks. I’ve lived here for 4 years and never experienced any sort of crime or uncomfortable situation.

Stockholm is a nice place, but of course you shouldnt be outside in night alone. In main city area is fine. But not to the areas around there it is alot of violent so it is good to avoid those areas. But overall the Swedes are super kind, respectful and trustable.

Inside the city it feels safe to walk after dark and use public transport at night - only places I would avoid: - To walk in parks at night - assault and rape do occur so stay on the streets where there is light - To walk around central station at night (same as many cities) - however using metro at central station feels completely safe - Stay away from some suburbs late at night (google the specific suburb you are going to see if it is considered safe) - however I would feel safe being in any suburb (even the more troubled ones) during the day and until 8-9 in the evening at least

Solo travel experience

I felt mostly safe in the city, everyone was respectfull and peacefull. Even alone at night, the streets were quite empty but mostly well lighted and didn't had any problems as a solo traveler. I went tobars alome as well again, a simple no was enough to keep the umwanted attention away. It's an expensive city so I mainly ait from the supermarket. Bu the bar Stampen in Gamla Stan was quite nice (expensive though). Bartenders always kept my stuff and drink safe when I went to bathroom etc. I stayed in a hostel room of 12 people and almost all of them were men so next time I would choose a smaller room and maybe an all female but still I haven't had any issues.

Solo travel experience

I felt very safe as a solo female traveller in Stockholm. Highly recommend the Abba museum and fotografiska. The vasa museum was also excellent. Also the Bageri on the river was amazing but basically anywhere you can get cardamom buns is a win. In general I loved Stockholm and literally left wanting to move there!

Solo travel experience

I travelled Stockholm, which was my first solo trip. i admired sightseeing. It was quite expensive but you can try public transport instead of airport express and IKEA instead of "Meatballs for the People" if you are broken student like me :) and you should join free city tours, which works with donation and happens mostly everyday.

Solo travel experience

Stockholm is such a fantastic city. If you love museums, nature, culture, that’s your place. I’ve been there during the winter so it was a hard weather for a Brazilian but I’ve got by!
