Belgium is an appealing destination for Danish travelers, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and modern attractions. The country draws millions of visitors annually, with cities like Brussels, Bruges, and Antwerp showcasing its historical and architectural significance. Given that 3.2 million Danes travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Belgium an interesting place to visit.
Belgium presents a mixed safety profile for tourists coming from Denmark. While it is ranked 39th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, indicating a higher risk compared to Denmark, which ranks 6th, Belgium is also recognized as one of the safest countries globally, holding the 16th position out of 160 in the Global Peace Index. In terms of murder rates, Denmark has a lower rate at 0.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Belgium's 1.1. Additionally, various organized crime indices suggest that while Belgium has some challenges, it is generally not as severe as the statistics might imply. For instance, Belgium's scores in organized crime categories are higher than Denmark's, particularly in drug-related crimes. Overall, while tourists should exercise typical caution, Belgium remains a relatively safe destination, albeit with some differences in safety perception compared to Denmark.
