Sweden is an appealing destination for some Montenegrins, thanks to its stunning landscapes and lively cities, along with a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors, it is recognized as a niche destination that prioritizes quality experiences over sheer volume.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Montenegro. However, safety perceptions can vary based on specific circumstances. In terms of walking alone at night, Sweden ranks 36th out of 40 countries, indicating that it may not be as safe as Montenegro, which ranks 10th. Nevertheless, the Global Peace Index ranks Sweden 39th out of 160 countries, which reflects a relatively high level of safety overall, comparable to Montenegro's 35th position. When looking at murder rates, Sweden has a lower rate (1.1 per 100,000 people) compared to Montenegro (2.4 per 100,000 people). This suggests that violent crime is less prevalent in Sweden. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Sweden generally scores better in terms of state crime and certain types of organized crime, while Montenegro has higher scores in mafia presence and crime networks. Overall, while Sweden may present some safety concerns, particularly in specific situations, it remains a safe place for tourists, including those from Montenegro. Travelers should always exercise standard precautions regardless of their destination.
