Sweden is an appealing destination for some Romanian travelers, thanks to its beautiful landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors, its reputation for quality experiences may draw a segment of the 11.6 million Romanians who travel abroad annually.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Romania. However, it does have some safety concerns, particularly when walking alone at night, where it ranks 36th out of 40 countries, compared to Romania's 19th position. In terms of overall safety, the Global Peace Index ranks Sweden 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively safe environment, similar to Romania, which ranks 36th. Regarding crime statistics, Sweden has a murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Romania's rate of 1.3. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Sweden at 0.5 and Romania at 0.8. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that both countries face organized crime, but Sweden generally has lower indices in areas like state crime and flora crime, while Romania has a stronger performance in human trafficking and arms trafficking. Overall, while Sweden may present some challenges, it remains a safe choice for Romanian tourists, especially when taking common safety precautions.
