1 mission of Sweden in El Salvador: Consulate General of Sweden in San Salvador, El Salvador. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Luis Castillo Rivas, Honorary Consul General (as of 2010)
Sweden is an appealing destination for some Salvadoran travelers, thanks 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 may intrigue a portion of the 800,000 Salvadorans who travel abroad each year.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from El Salvador. While it ranks 36th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, it is significantly safer than El Salvador, which has a Global Peace Index ranking of 105th out of 160 countries. In terms of crime statistics, Sweden has a murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to El Salvador's rate of 18.2. Additionally, Sweden scores better on various organized crime indices, indicating lower levels of mafia influence and organized crime activities. Overall, while no country is without risk, tourists from El Salvador can feel relatively secure while visiting Sweden.
