Bulgaria offers a compelling mix of historical and natural attractions, combining ancient culture with modern hospitality. It attracts over seven million foreign visitors each year, highlighting its significance as a European destination. Given that around 600,000 Estonians travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Bulgaria an appealing choice for their travels.
Bulgaria is generally safe for tourists, including those from Estonia. While it ranks 21st out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night—compared to Estonia's 4th place—it is still considered a relatively safe destination overall. According to the Global Peace Index, Bulgaria ranks 26th out of 160 countries, closely aligning with Estonia's 24th position. In terms of crime statistics, Bulgaria has a lower murder rate (1.3 per 100,000) than Estonia (2.0 per 100,000). However, some organized crime indices indicate that Bulgaria faces more challenges, particularly in areas like state crime and human trafficking. Overall, while there are some differences in safety rankings and crime statistics, Bulgaria remains a viable and generally safe option for Estonian tourists.
