Austria is an appealing destination for Estonian visitors due to its diverse cultural and natural attractions. With its breathtaking Alpine scenery and the historic allure of Vienna, it offers a unique experience. Given that around 600,000 Estonians travel abroad annually, a portion of them is likely to consider Austria for their travels.
Austria is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Estonia. It ranks 14th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Estonia's 4th place ranking. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Austria is ranked 3rd out of 160 countries, making it one of the safest countries globally, compared to Estonia's 24th place. In terms of crime statistics, Austria has a lower murder rate at 0.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Estonia's 2.0. While both countries have similar female murder rates, Austria's is slightly higher at 0.9. Regarding organized crime, Austria generally scores higher (indicating worse conditions) in areas like foreign crime and arms trafficking compared to Estonia. However, it has better scores in mafia presence and crime networks. Overall, while Austria may have some areas of concern, it remains a safe choice for tourists.
