Sweden is an appealing destination for some Serbian travelers, thanks to its beautiful landscapes and lively cities, along with a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international visitors, it stands out as a niche destination known for quality experiences rather than large crowds.
Sweden is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Serbia. However, when comparing safety rankings, Sweden ranks 36th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Serbia's 13th place. In terms of overall safety, the Global Peace Index ranks Sweden 39th out of 160 countries, making it safer than Serbia, which is ranked 53rd. Both countries have the same murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, with slightly lower rates of female murders in Sweden (0.5) compared to Serbia (0.7). Regarding organized crime, Sweden generally scores better than Serbia in several categories, particularly in state crime (2.5 for Sweden vs. 8.0 for Serbia) and flora crime (2.0 for Sweden vs. 4.0 for Serbia). In summary, while Sweden has certain safety challenges, it is regarded as a relatively safe destination compared to Serbia, especially in terms of organized crime and overall peace.
