Malmo is actually not the safest place to be in Sweden. Definitely not when compared to Copenhagen

Numbeo does not use official statistics (like number of reported crimes in relation to inhabitants) to generate their Crime Index, they derive their numbers from surveys conducted by Numbeo visitors. As such, their Crime Index is not very reliable, and was manipulated in the past.

@Inconspicuousseagull But even so, Malmö does have significantly higher crime rates than Copenhagen and most of the rest of Sweden, particular gun crime. Not high enough to make it a ‘dangerous city’ per se, but higher than the rest of the country, and enough that visitors should be aware of it.

@Inconspicuousseagull real or not, the perception is there. Frankly, I didn't feel safe when I was visiting Malmo, and that was years ago. I bailed back to Copenhagen the same day.

I've been to 45+ countries and mugged only once (Sao Paulo), and my safety radar works typically quite well I've wandered around Malmo at night (including around the train station) and it felt perfectly safe. Sure, it may not be the safest place in Sweden, but Sweden in general is quite safe.
