Sweden offers a unique appeal to Indian travelers with its stunning landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors, it stands out as a niche destination known for quality experiences. Given that 8.6 million Indians travel abroad annually, a segment of this population may find Sweden an intriguing option to explore.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from India. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, especially when compared to India, which ranks 114th. While Sweden is ranked 36th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, it is important to note that it has a lower murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to India's rate of 2.9. This trend continues with lower rates of female murders as well. In terms of organized crime, Sweden has a better score in several categories, such as state crime (2.5 for Sweden vs. 6.0 for India) and flora crime (2.0 for Sweden vs. 5.5 for India). However, it does have higher scores for some categories like mafia groups and crime networks. Overall, while there are some safety concerns, Sweden is statistically safer than India, making it a favorable option for Indian tourists.
