Estonia boasts a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions, making it an appealing destination for some of Myanmar's 54 million people. With its medieval architecture in Tallinn and pristine countryside, the country attracts around 800,000 international visitors each year, highlighting its diverse tourism offerings.
Estonia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Myanmar. It ranks 4th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, Estonia is ranked 24th out of 160 countries, significantly safer than Myanmar, which ranks 145th. In terms of crime statistics, Estonia has a much lower murder rate of 2.0 per 100,000 people compared to Myanmar's 28.4. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Estonia at 0.6 and Myanmar at 7.3. The Global Organized Crime Index further illustrates the disparity between the two countries. Estonia scores better in various crime categories, such as mafia groups (Estonia 3.0 vs. Myanmar 9.0) and state crime (Estonia 2.0 vs. Myanmar 8.5). Overall, tourists from Myanmar can feel relatively safe when visiting Estonia, given its low crime rates and favorable safety rankings.
