Is Stockholm safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I really enjoyed my time in Stockholm at the end of August! ✨ The city is super clean, well connected by public transport ( the metro stations are full of art🤩) and very safe overall (just be cautious around slussen at night). It was my third time in the city and went to Abba museum (very worth it), ice bar, Drottningholm palace, Gamla Stan, Stadhuset and I can recommend everything! Loved Swedish meatballs, cinnamon buns and having fika! If you get a chance to go to Stockholm, you'll not regret it 💌

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)!

I felt very safe in Stockholm, the city centre is walkable but they have good public transportation too. I stayed in Mosebacke hostel in a private room. It was affordable, clean, good location, limited breakfast options so I only had a coffee. Overall it’s a nice city for a weekend trip.

Family travel

Stockholm is a very attractive place with a lot of place where you can discover the swedish culture. Also a safe city for a family/friends trip. People here are very sociable and Nice. You can do a lot of free activities

Solo travel

I felt really safe while visiting Stockholm alone by myself. I went partying with some new people and I felt safe while going back home. I moved alone around the city and I felt safe. The city is beautiful and the country has a lot of things to do.

Stockholm, like any other big city, struggles with higher crime rates than smaller cities, I have however personally never felt unsafe here. I usually walk around after dark with music in my ears without batting an eye. This goes for a big part of the suburbs and the inner city. I have never in my life been scared for my safety here. Now, segregation is sadly really bad and you should probably avoid most of the end stations of tunnelbanan. These stations are some that I would personally not go to: Hjulsta, Tensta, Rinkeby, Rissne, Duvbo / Akalla, Husby, Kista, Hallonbergen, Näckrosen / Bredäng, Sätra, Skärholmen, Vårberg / Rågsved, Hagsätra I do want you to note that these stations are completely fine to visit, I have been to many of them alone as a child (in other words, it is totally okay) but if you wanna be really safe I’d stick to not going there.

I have never had any bad experiences here in Stockholm, but it is a big city with a lot of people, so you should always take care of yourself. But us swedes are mostly kind and polite and not looking for trouble!

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
