Hungary offers a rich array of cultural and natural experiences, making it an appealing destination for some Icelandic travelers. With its captivating capital, Budapest, known for its luxurious thermal baths and beautiful architecture, it combines historical charm with contemporary appeal. Given that around 100,000 Icelanders travel abroad annually, a portion may find Hungary to be an intriguing choice.
Hungary is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Iceland. It ranks 16th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Iceland's impressive 3rd place. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Hungary ranks 14th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety overall, though still below Iceland, which is ranked as the safest country. In terms of crime statistics, Hungary has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Iceland's very low rate of 0.5. The data from the Global Organized Crime Index shows that while Hungary faces challenges with state crime (ranked 7.0), it still has lower indices for mafia groups (1.0) and crime networks (4.0) compared to Iceland. Overall, while Hungary is safe for tourists, it is advisable to remain vigilant, as it does not match the safety levels of Iceland.
