Sweden is an appealing destination for some Finnish visitors, thanks to its beautiful landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international tourists, its reputation as a quality destination makes it noteworthy for a segment of the 1.8 million Finns who travel abroad annually.
Sweden is generally considered safe for tourists, including those coming from Finland, but there are some differences in safety rankings. According to safety rankings for walking alone at night, Sweden is ranked 36th out of 40 countries, while Finland ranks 8th, indicating that Finland is safer in this regard. In terms of overall safety, the Global Peace Index ranks Sweden 39th out of 160 countries, compared to Finland's 13th place. When looking at murder rates, Sweden has a lower rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people compared to Finland's 1.6. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index shows that Finland generally has lower crime indices than Sweden across various categories, indicating a lower prevalence of organized crime in Finland. Overall, while Sweden is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings, especially when compared to the higher safety levels in Finland.
