I did feel safe in Stockholm, I think it's a beautiful city. I stayed in a hotel near the main station, so I was travelling around with metro, by feet, or with the e-scooter. Stockholm has many delicious restaurants. You have to try the meatballs with mashed potatoes! You should visit the Gamla Stan, Södermalm and Solna (:

I felt safe in Stockholm, my hostel in gamla Stan was very affordable and I met some really lovely people. I feel like there could be some more affordable things to do but if you like walking around mew cities you'll find lots to do anyway
Posted: April 20, 2025Experienced: October, 2024Stroll around gamla Stan, better during the working hours as it gets quite busy Vasa museum is really interesting - a recovered shipwreck that was sunken for 333 years Skinnarviksberget and Katarina Elevator for the city views! Highly recommend the metro tour, especially stops Tekniska Högskolan Solna Centrum Radhuset Kungsträdgården Feel free to dm me for amazing food recommendations! Hot take, skip the meatballs - overrated. There is much more amazing food the city can offer. If meatballs are on your experience list, “meatballs for the people” were the best I’ve tried.
Posted: April 7, 2025I 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

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

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.

Sea, lake, river, ocean and forests give me peace. Stockholm has a very beautiful sea and I liked it very much. Even though the weather was not very hot when I went, I had a wonderful time. I met a Mexican photographer. Thanks to him, I shot with a professional camera and we chatted. I liked it very much and I want to go again. Because there are still so many things, museums and events I want to do, experience and see. it is a wonderful city.

I loved my experience in Stockholm. People were very kind and helpful. We explored the city and got to see how locals live. We visited a lot of museums, such as Nordic - it was a great experience. We went to the library and explored Vasa got us really excited! Overall recommend

I went in Stockholm with a group of friends and overall it was a good experience because of the company but the city itself wasn’t very impressive. We went to the Ice bar which was interesting experience and also the Abba museum was really nice and entertaining. Eat at Ikea if you want to save money because restaurants in Stockholm are crazy expensive and the portions are small ( we went to 1 restaurant but that was enough hahah). Vasamuseet wasn’t worth the money in my opinion but it might be because I don’t really like museums but basically the huge ship is in the middle of the museum and that’s impressive but not really worth 20€.

In general Stockholm is very safe. There are few places you can go where others aren't around (in terms of street)which means you're not very likely to get attacked. There is however an ongoing problem with gangs, but they are mainly targeting each other so unless you're involved or related to it somehow the likelihood of it affecting you is low. It is however possible to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Public transport is also very safe and accessible, there is normally someone working in the entrance to every station and it's not uncommon to see security around the underground at night.
Posted: April 16, 2025Stockholm is a very friendly city. Women can safely walk around at night without being approached by strangers or feel uncomfortable. I have lived here all my life and i have never experienced any kind of uncomfortable situation.
