Georgia is an appealing destination for some Estonian travelers, thanks to its natural beauty and rich culture. Although international visitor numbers have varied recently, the country's charm continues to attract a diverse range of tourists. With around 600,000 Estonians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Georgia an intriguing option.
Georgia is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Estonia, but there are some differences in safety rankings and crime statistics to be aware of. Estonia ranks 4th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, whereas Georgia does not have specific data for this metric. According to the Global Peace Index, Estonia is ranked 24th, significantly safer than Georgia, which is ranked 98th out of 160 countries. In terms of murder rates, Estonia has a rate of 2.0 per 100,000 people, while Georgia's rate is slightly lower at 1.9. However, female murder rates are higher in Georgia (1.2) compared to Estonia (0.6). The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Estonia generally has a better score than Georgia in various crime categories, with lower indices for mafia groups, crime networks, and state crime. Overall, while Georgia is relatively safe, tourists from Estonia should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as the safety environment differs from that in Estonia.
