Austria is a compelling destination for many Czech visitors, thanks to its diverse cultural and natural attractions. With its breathtaking Alpine scenery and the historic allure of Vienna, it appeals to tourists worldwide. Given that 1.2 million Czechs travel abroad annually, a notable portion may choose to explore Austria.
Austria is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Czechia. It ranks 14th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Czechia's 5th place. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Austria is ranked 3rd out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of overall safety, surpassing Czechia's 12th place. In terms of murder rates, Austria has a rate of 0.7 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Czechia's 0.4. Regarding organized crime, Austria has a lower index for mafia groups (2.0 vs. Czechia's 3.0) and state crime (4.0 vs. Czechia's 5.5), but a higher index for foreign crime (6.5 vs. Czechia's 4.5). Overall, while Austria may have some higher crime rates in specific areas compared to Czechia, it remains a safe and welcoming country for tourists.
