Hungary is an appealing destination for Swiss travelers, offering a rich blend of cultural and natural experiences. Budapest, with its luxurious thermal baths and beautiful architecture, showcases a unique mix of historical charm and contemporary appeal. Given that 6.1 million Swiss travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Hungary an interesting place to visit.
Hungary is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Switzerland. It ranks 16th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Switzerland's 7th place. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Hungary is ranked 14th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety overall, though still below Switzerland's 6th place. In terms of crime statistics, Hungary has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Switzerland's 0.5. For female murders, the rates are similar, with Hungary at 0.5 and Switzerland at 0.6. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that while Hungary has some challenges, such as a higher state crime index (7.0) compared to Switzerland (1.5), it also has a lower score for mafia groups (1.0) and similar scores for crime networks (4.0). Overall, while Hungary is safe, travelers should remain aware of their surroundings, as it is not as safe as Switzerland.
