Ireland offers enchanting landscapes and a rich cultural experience, making it an appealing destination for visitors. With 1.2 million Czechs traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find Ireland particularly interesting to explore.
Ireland is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Czechia. While it ranks 35th out of 40 countries for safety when walking alone at night, it is important to note that it is still regarded as one of the safest countries globally. According to the Global Peace Index, Ireland is ranked 2nd out of 160 countries, compared to Czechia's 12th place. In terms of murder rates, both countries have similar statistics, with a rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people. However, when examining organized crime indices, Czechia tends to perform better in several categories, although Ireland has lower scores in areas like state crime and flora crime. Overall, while Ireland may not be as safe as Czechia in certain aspects, it remains a safe destination for tourists. Visitors are encouraged to take standard precautions, as they would in any country.
