Sweden is an appealing destination for some Icelandic travelers, thanks to its stunning landscapes and lively cities. With a strong tourism infrastructure, it attracts a modest number of international visitors, focusing on quality experiences. Annually, around 100,000 Icelanders travel abroad, and a portion of them may choose to explore Sweden.
Sweden is generally considered safe for tourists, including those coming from Iceland. However, it ranks lower in safety compared to Iceland in several aspects. For instance, Sweden is ranked 36th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, whereas Iceland ranks 3rd. In terms of overall safety, Sweden is ranked 39th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, still behind Iceland, which is the safest country. When looking at crime statistics, Sweden has a murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Iceland's 0.5. Additionally, various organized crime indices indicate that while Sweden faces some challenges, it is still relatively safe compared to many other countries. Overall, while Sweden is not as safe as Iceland, it remains a secure destination for tourists. Visitors should stay aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as they would in any other country.
