Sweden is an appealing destination for some Paraguayan travelers due to its 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 niche destination could intrigue a portion of the 200,000 Paraguayans who travel abroad annually.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Paraguay. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety compared to Paraguay, which ranks 71st. In terms of crime statistics, Sweden has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Paraguay's 7.8. Additionally, Sweden's rates for female murders are also lower (0.5 in Sweden versus 1.9 in Paraguay). While Sweden ranks 36th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, it is still safer than Paraguay in many aspects of crime. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Sweden generally has lower scores (indicating better safety) in various crime categories compared to Paraguay. Overall, tourists from Paraguay can feel relatively safe when visiting Sweden, although it is always advisable to remain aware of one’s surroundings and take standard safety precautions.
