Sweden is an appealing destination for a segment of Vietnam's 98 million population, thanks to its stunning landscapes and lively cities. The country boasts a strong tourism infrastructure, attracting a modest number of international visitors. Its reputation as a niche destination emphasizes quality experiences over sheer volume, making it particularly attractive for specific travelers from Vietnam.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Vietnam. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety. In comparison, Vietnam ranks 41st, suggesting similar safety levels between the two countries. However, when looking at specific safety metrics, Sweden ranks 36th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. The murder rates also reflect a low level of violence, with Sweden at 1.1 per 100,000 people and Vietnam at 1.5 per 100,000. In terms of organized crime, Sweden has lower indices for state crime (2.5) and human trafficking (4.5) compared to Vietnam's higher scores in these areas (7.0). Overall, while there are some differences in safety perceptions, Sweden is a safe country for tourists.
