Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Belarus as a destination for visitors from Ireland?
Belarus offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions that could appeal to some Irish travelers. With 2.3 million Irish citizens traveling abroad annually, a segment of this group may find Belarus an intriguing destination worth exploring.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Belarus for tourists coming from Ireland?
Belarus presents a mixed safety profile for tourists from Ireland. While it ranks 38th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is similar to Ireland's 35th position, the Global Peace Index places Belarus at 110th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Ireland's impressive 2nd rank. In terms of crime statistics, Belarus has a higher murder rate of 2.4 per 100,000 people compared to Ireland's 0.4. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Belarus at 1.7 versus Ireland's 0.3. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Belarus faces challenges with state crime (ranked 9th, where 10 is worst) and human trafficking (ranked 7th), while Ireland fares better in these areas. Overall, while some aspects of safety in Belarus may be comparable to Ireland, the higher crime rates and lower peace index suggest that tourists should exercise caution and stay informed while visiting.
