I felt very safe, we were 6 people and we stayed together in a hostel. It was cheap but for a solo traveler it can be more expencive. We went national museum, last one hour cheaper but you should be fast. Public transportation is good, you should see Vasa museum and metro lines and if you like Abba, ABBA museum is great.
Posted: November 6, 2024I spent 2 weeks in Luleå chasing the northern lights. The whole city felt safe, never had any problems being a solo female traveler. I stayed at a local's place. They were very friendly and that helped with the cost, Luleå is expensive. I can only revommend Luleå, it was magical.
Posted: October 12, 2024Experienced: January, 2022South Sweden was absolutely gorgeous, very green and clean. People spoke fantastic English and were warm and friendly. I visited Lund and Malmö and would highly recommend both. There's a bath house in Malmö that's really nice to visit.
Posted: September 12, 2024Experienced: May, 2024Hey guys, I was with my family in Sweden, to be exact in Malmö and in the areas near of it. It was in June and honestly it was really pretty, the sunset and all is perfect. The people are very nice and helpful. But there were some difficulties: There are parking issues, you have to have an app because without this, you can't really park. The parking is free for supermarket parking. Sweden is a must go country, sadly I wasn't able to go to more places. Near Malmö, you could go to Skanör Beach.
Posted: August 19, 2024It was a great place to visit in summer and it very safe and my stay was very comfortable. I think Stockholm is a great city to see. A multicultural capital with some fantastic places to visit. shopping is great here but quite expensive due to the fact that Scandanvian countries are expensive. The boa trip trip and the sightseeing bus are the best way to see the city.

Stockholm is full of nature. If you have a tent with you, I definitely recommend staying in a nature reserve. There are many places with beautiful sunsets. You should definitely get "Too Good To Go". You can get a lot of food there for a reasonable price. The best surprise bags are available at the espresso house and Lindquist's Pastry in Stockholm.

I recently visited Stockholm and had an amazing time! Here are some highlights from my trip: **Safety:** I felt very safe throughout my stay in Stockholm. The city is well-maintained, and the people are friendly and helpful. **Things to Do:** I highly recommend exploring the various museums and historical sites. The Vasa Museum is a must-see, showcasing a preserved 17th-century ship. Also, take a stroll through Gamla Stan, the old town, which is full of charming streets and shops. If you have time, visit Djurgården for beautiful parks and attractions. **Food and Restaurants:** The food in Stockholm is delicious! I enjoyed visiting an Asian food cafe in a shopping mall, which offered a variety of tasty dishes. I also had a delightful experience at a local cafe, enjoying coffee and a traditional Swedish bun. The food scene here is diverse and caters to all tastes. **Budget:** I spent around 300 EUR for my 5-day trip, which was quite reasonable. This included food, transport, and some shopping. **Accommodation:** I stayed at a friend's place, which made my trip more economical. However, there are plenty of hotels and hostels available to suit all budgets. **Transport:** Getting around Stockholm is very convenient. The public transport system is efficient, clean, and easy to navigate. I mainly used buses and the metro, which were both reliable and timely. **People:** The locals are very kind and helpful. I always felt welcome and had no trouble asking for directions or recommendations. **Itinerary:** I spent my days exploring the city, visiting museums, and enjoying local cafes and restaurants. I also made time for some shopping and leisurely walks in the parks. Overall, Stockholm is a beautiful city with a rich cultural heritage and a welcoming atmosphere. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable travel experience.

We walked down from Abisko to the Kebnekaise and it was great. We slept in a tent and took all of our things with us, so also our food. It was very exhausting with so much weight to carry around but the landscape was worth it!

In my experience everyone knows all the trouble some people, it makes me feel safer because I know who to avoid. It’s a pretty calm city when one self doesn’t do anything stupid. The night life feels very safe because there’s a ton of people out and I have never seen any trouble.
Posted: December 19, 2024In most neighbourhoods, it is safe as a woman to be walking around at night. There are, however, a few notorious neighbourhoods that one should avoid where crime rates are higher than the rest of the city.
