Austria offers a diverse range of cultural and natural attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Norwegian travelers. With 1.7 million Norwegians traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find the stunning Alpine scenery and the charm of Vienna particularly enticing.
Austria is considered a safe destination for tourists from Norway. It ranks 14th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is better than Norway's 18th place. According to the Global Peace Index, Austria is the 3rd safest country out of 160, compared to Norway's 28th ranking. In terms of crime statistics, Austria has a murder rate of 0.7 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Norway's 0.5. However, Austria has lower indices for organized crime, with a score of 2.0 for mafia groups compared to Norway's 4.5. Overall, while there are minor differences in safety and crime rates, Austria remains a very safe option for Norwegian tourists.
