Czechia offers a compelling mix of historic and cultural attractions, supported by strong tourism infrastructure. While it sees fewer international visitors than larger tourist destinations, those who do visit are often enchanted by its medieval allure, such as the Charles Bridge and the picturesque town of Český Krumlov. This makes it an appealing option for a segment of Malaysia's 34 million population.
Czechia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Malaysia. It ranks 5th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, Czechia is the 12th safest country out of 160 worldwide, comparable to Malaysia, which ranks 10th. In terms of crime statistics, Czechia has a lower murder rate (0.4 per 100,000 people) compared to Malaysia (0.7). Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Czechia has better scores in various crime categories, such as mafia groups (3.0 vs. 4.5) and human trafficking (5.0 vs. 6.5). Overall, both countries are relatively safe, but Czechia offers a slightly safer environment for tourists.
