We’ve reviewed our travel advice for Sweden and have lowered the overall travel advice level. We now advise exercise normal safety precautions overall. Sweden’s domestic terror alert is now at ‘elevated’ (level 3 of 5). Terrorist attacks could occur anywhere and at any time. While violent incidents are rare in tourist locations, you should still be cautious. There are incidents of gang-related violent crime in Sweden. Be alert in public places and report suspicious activity to the police (see ‘Safety’).

We now advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Sweden.
