Sweden offers a unique appeal for Indonesian travelers, featuring stunning landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors, its reputation as a quality destination may intrigue some of the 500,000 Indonesians who travel abroad annually.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Indonesia. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Indonesia, which ranks 47th. In terms of crime statistics, Sweden has a murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, while Indonesia's rate is lower at 0.6. However, Sweden's overall crime environment is viewed as safer, particularly regarding organized crime and state crime, where Sweden scores significantly better. While Sweden ranks 36th out of 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, it is important to note that this ranking does not include data specific to Indonesia. Overall, tourists from Indonesia can expect a safe experience in Sweden, but should remain aware of their surroundings, as they would in any foreign country.
