Hungary is an appealing destination for many Austrian travelers, thanks to its rich cultural and natural experiences. Budapest, with its luxurious thermal baths and beautiful architecture, offers a captivating mix of history and modernity. With 7.5 million Austrians traveling abroad annually, a portion is likely to be drawn to Hungary.
Hungary is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Austria. It ranks 16th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is comparable to Austria's 14th position. According to the Global Peace Index, Hungary is ranked 14th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety, although Austria ranks higher at 3rd. In terms of crime statistics, Hungary has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Austria's rate of 0.7. Female murder rates are lower in Hungary (0.5) compared to Austria (0.9). Regarding organized crime, Hungary shows a stronger performance in some areas, such as mafia presence and arms trafficking, but has higher indices for state crime and human trafficking compared to Austria. Overall, while Hungary is safe for tourists, travelers should remain aware of their surroundings, as they would in any country.
