Belgium is an appealing destination for Italian visitors, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and modern attractions. The country's historical significance, architectural beauty, and vibrant cities such as Brussels, Bruges, and Antwerp contribute to its allure. With 12.4 million Italians traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find Belgium an interesting place to explore.
Belgium presents a mixed safety profile for tourists coming from Italy. While it ranks 39th out of 40 countries for safety when walking alone at night—making it less safe than Italy, which ranks 34th—Belgium is considered one of the safest countries globally, ranking 16th out of 160 in the Global Peace Index, compared to Italy's 33rd position. In terms of crime statistics, Belgium has a higher murder rate (1.1 per 100,000 people) than Italy (0.5). However, it has a lower rate of female murders (0.2 in Belgium vs. 0.4 in Italy). Regarding organized crime, Belgium scores better in several categories, such as state crime (2.0 for Belgium vs. 6.5 for Italy) and overall organized crime indices, where Belgium has lower scores than Italy in most areas. In summary, while Belgium may have certain safety concerns, especially at night, it is generally considered safe for tourists, especially when compared to Italy's organized crime challenges.
