Safest destinations in Sweden for single travelers
Sweden is one of the safest and most inclusive countries in the world, making it a great choice for solo travelers. Cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö are known for their well-lit streets, efficient public transport, and low crime rates, providing peace of mind, especially for women and first-time solo adventurers. English is widely spoken, which helps ease communication even outside major cities. Sweden is also a global leader in LGBTQI+ rights and gender equality; Stockholm hosts one of Europe’s largest Pride festivals, and queer-friendly accommodations and cafés are easy to find. Travelers from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds often report respectful and welcoming experiences. While locals may seem reserved at first, they are warm and helpful when approached. University towns like Umeå and Uppsala offer especially progressive atmospheres.
Cost of traveling to Sweden alone
Sweden is known for its high quality of life, which comes with a higher price tag for travelers. Budget solo travelers can expect to spend around USD 72 per day, covering hostel accommodations, meals, and local transport. Bookmundi's solo trips to Sweden start at an average of USD 138 per person per day, including accommodations, transportation, and select activities.
