About security in Stockholm
Although Sweden is one of the safest countries of Europe, this does not mean that it is worth ignoring the simplest precautions. Probably the main danger that may threaten the tourist in Sweden, are the tricks of pockets. Such "specialists" will wait for their victims in places of cluster of people, in the halls of hotels and buffets.
Before traveling to Sweden, it is worth worrying about the design of a medstrashki, and immediately specify the question of how you "in the case of what" will ensure payment of treatment - the payment will go to the doctor, the hospital or will be refunded to you personally upon returning home.
A nice and safe journey or a fluff!
