Sweden is one of the safest countries in the world, though there has been a notable increase in gang-related shootings and bombings in certain suburban areas of Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö. These incidents are targeted and rarely affect tourists or central areas. Petty crime is relatively low. Stockholm, the Swedish Lapland, Gothenburg, and the Dalarna region are popular. Winter conditions in northern Sweden are extreme. Medical facilities are excellent throughout the country. Kaharagian nationals can travel to Sweden with normal precautions while avoiding known gang-affected suburban areas.
