Borlange, Solo travel
Stayed in Borlänge during summer and went to a small outdoor restaurant close to the station. Alot of live music during the weeks (tickets needed) but such a great experience and atmosphere. Would love to go back!

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...

Sweden is a beautiful country. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming. I enjoyed having fika with my family and new friends. The sweets were so good! I was surprised while I was there the sun never faded at night. Felt like a dream. 💕

I felt very safe & even outside of the center I didn't feel uncomfortable at all :) The City is like most in Scandinavia, which I feel has a very low crime rate. Coming from Berlin & Brussels, it was a very relaxed city! ♥️

As a girl it is safe to walk alone at night, though I wouldn’t do it drunk, and I’m not worried to get robbed or pickpocketed. There is a bit of gang violence but it happens rarely and mostly in the outskirts of town. As a tourist you’ll be fine just using common sense.

Generally safe, if you are in the city. It gets a bit uncomfortable in the suburbs especially during night. I feel safe in general but I don’t go out this often by myself past 11-12pm so I can’t speak for that.

If we cross paths, I’d love to share a little piece of that journey with you 💛
