Ireland's enchanting landscapes and rich culture make it an appealing destination for international tourists. With millions drawn to its lush countryside and historic sites, it could attract a segment of the 3 million Israelis who travel abroad annually.
Ireland is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Israel. According to the Global Peace Index, Ireland ranks 2nd out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety. In contrast, Israel is ranked 152nd. While Ireland ranks 35th out of 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, it is still a much safer environment overall compared to Israel. The murder rates also reflect this, with Ireland having a rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people, compared to Israel's rate of 1.9. In terms of organized crime, Ireland has a slightly higher index for mafia groups and crime networks, but it performs better in state crime and certain other categories. Overall, tourists from Israel can expect a safe experience while visiting Ireland.
