Czechia offers a compelling destination for Icelandic travelers, featuring a wealth of historic and cultural attractions supported by solid tourism infrastructure. While it receives fewer international visitors than larger tourist countries, those who do visit are often enchanted by its medieval allure, such as the Charles Bridge and the picturesque town of Český Krumlov. Given that around 100,000 Icelanders travel abroad annually, a portion may find Czechia an appealing option.
Czechia is considered one of the safest countries in Europe for tourists, ranking 5th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is comparable to Iceland's 3rd place ranking. According to the Global Peace Index, Czechia ranks 12th out of 160 countries, making it very safe, though it is slightly less safe than Iceland, which holds the top position. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Czechia is 0.4 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Iceland's 0.5. However, when examining organized crime, Czechia has higher indices in various categories compared to Iceland, indicating a greater prevalence of certain types of crime. Overall, while Czechia is safe for tourists, visitors from Iceland may find it slightly less secure than their home country.
