Russia offers a diverse range of cultural and natural attractions that can appeal to Swedish visitors. While it attracts around 6.4 million foreign tourists annually, its allure lies in the variety of experiences available. Among the 4.2 million Swedes who travel abroad each year, a segment may find Russia an intriguing destination.
Russia presents a mixed safety profile for tourists from Sweden. In terms of safety while walking alone at night, Russia ranks 30th out of 40 countries, which is better than Sweden's 36th position. However, the Global Peace Index places Russia significantly lower at 154th out of 160 countries, compared to Sweden's 39th ranking, indicating overall safety concerns. Crime statistics show a higher murder rate in Russia, with 6.8 per 100,000 people compared to Sweden's 1.1. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Russia at 3.3 and Sweden at 0.5. The Global Organized Crime Index further highlights differences, with Russia scoring worse in areas like crime networks (7.5) and state crime (8.5) compared to Sweden (5.5 and 2.5, respectively). In summary, while some aspects of safety in Russia may appear favorable, the overall crime and safety indices suggest that tourists should exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings while traveling in Russia.
