Is Stockholm Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Couple travel

A wonderful city with nice people and a calm atmosphere. It’s a big city but the streets are not busy at all. There are a lot of cool bars and you definitely need to try a norlands guld beer. Over all a great place with a lot of good food and coffee.

Family travel

I mainly went to see the Avicii Experience museum, the plaque in the cemetery and the other places connected to him, but my sister and her friend planned other stuff too, for example the Abba museum. I felt really safe and I loved it there, I want to go back so badly. Highly recommend! We were there in the beginning of April and it was snowing one day and my sister complained about the cold. (I hate warm weather so it was perfect for me there)

Solo travel

I fell in love with cities that I can walk and get lost in. I spent hours getting lost in the narrowest alleys of the Old Town. There’s one alley so slim you can touch both walls at once! As someone who loves craftsmanship, I was fixated on the heavy wooden doors and the ironwork—every corner feels like a lesson in history and preservation.

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...

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)!

Solo travel

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.

Group travel

I spent a week in stockholm with two friends. It is a very safe city and the people are polite. The museums are very interesting and often free for students. I recommend a visit to the Fotografiska museum, but I would skip Skansen. Public transports are safe, clean and well-organized, with no delays.

Solo travel

Felt very safe as a solo female traveller, walked most places so cant comment on public transport but found the city easy to navigate at any hour of the day. Like always, I'd still recommend being vigilant but I also found the Swedish to be very kind information welcoming.

I’ve rarely felt unsafe in stockholm, sometimes in the medborgarplatsen and tanto areas there can be people approaching you and catcalling you but generally i’d say Stockholm and Sweden are very safe to travel to as a woman!

Very safe. Never feel unsafe in my daily life. Maybe if you go out to the suburbs at night you might feel a bit unsafe but it’s not supposed to be unsafe for outsiders.

Verry safe if you stay away from trubble and drugs. As a woman i feel pretty safe walking around at night but be awere of your surondings and make wise desissions. Walk with confidence and get used to the area during daytime. The danger statistics are high but nothing has ever hapened to me or anyone i know from being out on the strets. I think it is safe as long as you don't involve yourself with sketchy people.

I’ve been there as a tourist only few times, moving only now. But I never felt unsafe in Stockholm!🫶🏻 I think it’s a good place for a living and travelling. I guess you just need to be careful with areas, but basically all fine!

Stockholm is very safe during the day and night. No need to worry about anything. Certain kommun like Kista have become unsafe recently. But otherwise you are good. Avoid those regions at night. You will enjoy Stockholm.

as someone born and raised in stockholm, it’s a very safe city! of course be cautious of your surroundings during night time, especially if you’re alone. however, i’ve never felt unsafe, even when i’ve been outside at night on my own.
