Safety
In terms of its size, Stockholm is a safe city by international standards. However, travelers should use common sense to avoid crime.
Although the police can be dispersed, Stockholm has patrolling security guards (Odninswak) in the central community. These are usually helpful to visitors. The security guards at nightclubs may be tougher, especially for drunk customers. Bars and clubs are less accepting of drunkenness than small towns, which may lead to security guards forcibly expelling perpetrators. The bodyguards in Stockholm are stricter than those in other European cities, and you may be fired for no reason.
Most crimes against travelers are crimes of opportunity, such as pickpockets, bicycle theft, car theft, and car vandalism. As always, don’t leave valuables in the car and watch your bags in crowded places such as festivals, nightclubs, markets, airports, and public transportation. Most shops and all major taxi companies accept credit and debit cards, so there is no need to carry large amounts of cash.
Taxi need to post pricing information on the rear window. The comparison price is for a 15 km drive, not the highest price, which may be more time to venture outside the city center. Although the maximum charge for some independent drivers is 499 won, the major taxi companies (Stockholm Taxi Company, Kuril Taxi Company, 020/Sverigetaxi Taxi Company and Topcab Taxi Company) charge about 300 won. With these taxis, you also have a better chance of returning the items lost in the car to you.
In the summer, hordes of street gamblers try to deceive spectators in other tourist areas by planting something of their own in the crowd. Stop playing, you will lose.
Although Sweden has an extensive welfare system, Stockholm has far fewer homeless and poor people than other cities of similar size, but homeless people can be seen begging around the city; some of them come from other parts of the European Union . A responsible way to solve their situation is to buy street newspapers, Sthlm, 50 won. Begging for people who buy food or water is also a good way to help. Although organized crime does exist, legitimate visitors are unlikely to be affected.
Stockholm is very friendly to sexual minorities. Homophobia and interracial attitudes will be blatantly hostile by many Swedes. Same-sex couples will not have any problems with their public lives in Stockholm, including shaking hands or kissing in public places in the city.
