Spain is a highly appealing destination for many Austrian travelers, thanks to its rich culture and stunning landscapes. As the third most visited country globally, it attracts millions annually. With around 7.5 million Austrians traveling abroad each year, a significant number are likely to consider Spain for their trips.
Spain is generally safe for tourists, including those from Austria, but there are some differences in safety rankings. According to a safety ranking for walking alone at night, Spain is 22nd out of 40 countries, while Austria ranks higher at 14th. In terms of overall safety, Spain is ranked 23rd out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, compared to Austria's impressive 3rd place. Looking at crime statistics, the murder rate in Spain is slightly lower than in Austria, with 0.6 per 100,000 people in Spain versus 0.7 in Austria. Female murder rates also favor Spain, with 0.4 compared to Austria's 0.9. However, organized crime indices indicate that Austria generally has a better standing, with lower scores across various categories, such as mafia groups and crime networks. For instance, Austria scores 2.0 for mafia groups, while Spain scores 6.0. In summary, while Spain is relatively safe, tourists from Austria may find it less secure in certain aspects compared to their home country. It's advisable to stay aware of surroundings and take standard safety precautions while traveling in Spain.
