Uzbekistan offers a unique appeal for Swedish travelers, showcasing its rich heritage and developing infrastructure. Although tourist arrivals have fluctuated, with a peak in previous years, the country's historical significance and Silk Road connections may attract a segment of the 4.2 million Swedes who travel abroad annually.
Uzbekistan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Sweden. According to the Global Peace Index, Uzbekistan ranks 58th out of 160 countries, which indicates a moderate level of safety, though it is not as safe as Sweden, which ranks 39th. In terms of crime statistics, Uzbekistan has a murder rate of 1.4 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Sweden's rate of 1.1. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Uzbekistan at 1.1 compared to Sweden's 0.5. When looking at organized crime, Uzbekistan scores moderately, with indices indicating some concerns, particularly in areas like state crime (7.0) and human trafficking (7.5). In contrast, Sweden has lower scores in these categories, suggesting a safer environment overall. While no specific data exists for safety while walking alone at night in Uzbekistan, the overall crime and safety indices suggest that tourists should remain vigilant but can generally expect a safe experience.
