Spain is a highly appealing destination for Finnish travelers, thanks to its rich culture and stunning landscapes. As the third most visited country globally, it draws millions each year with its unique mix of history and natural beauty. With 1.8 million Finns traveling abroad annually, a significant number are likely to consider Spain for their trips.
Spain is generally safe for tourists, including those from Finland, but it does have some safety concerns compared to Finland. In terms of safety while walking alone at night, Spain ranks 22nd out of 40 countries, while Finland ranks 8th. According to the Global Peace Index, Spain is ranked 23rd out of 160 countries, again behind Finland, which is 13th. When looking at murder rates, Spain has a lower rate (0.6 per 100,000 people) compared to Finland (1.6), indicating that violent crime is relatively low in both countries. However, Spain faces more challenges with organized crime, scoring higher on various indices related to mafia presence, crime networks, and human trafficking. Overall, while Spain is a safe destination, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, especially in urban areas.
