Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Guinea Bissau as a destination for visitors from Germany?

Guinea-Bissau offers a unique and relatively unexplored tourism experience, which may appeal to some German travelers. While the country's tourism sector is modest and not widely recognized globally, it could attract a niche audience among the 99.5 million Germans who travel abroad annually.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Guinea Bissau for tourists coming from Germany?

Guinea Bissau presents certain safety concerns for tourists, particularly when compared to Germany. While Germany ranks 20th in the Global Peace Index, Guinea Bissau is ranked 83rd out of 160 countries, indicating a lower level of safety. In terms of crime statistics, Germany has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, while Guinea Bissau has a slightly higher rate of 1.1. Additionally, crime indices from the Global Organized Crime Index show that Guinea Bissau faces significant challenges, with high scores in areas such as crime networks (8.0) and state crime (8.5), compared to Germany's lower scores (6.5 and 2.0, respectively). Overall, while tourists can visit Guinea Bissau, they should exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions, as the safety landscape is not as favorable as in Germany.
