Iran offers a rich historical and diverse landscape, making it an appealing destination for some Austrian travelers. While foreign arrivals are modest, there is potential interest among the 7.5 million Austrians who travel abroad annually.
Iran's safety for tourists from Austria can be assessed through various rankings and statistics. While Austria ranks 14th in safety among 40 European countries for walking alone at night, there is no comparable data for Iran. According to the Global Peace Index, Iran is ranked 131st out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Austria, which ranks 3rd. In terms of murder rates, Austria has a rate of 0.7 per 100,000 people, while Iran's rate is higher at 2.2. For female murders, Austria's rate is 0.9 compared to Iran's 0.6. The Global Organized Crime Index also highlights a stark contrast: Austria scores better across various crime categories, such as mafia groups (Austria: 2.0, Iran: 7.0) and state crime (Austria: 4.0, Iran: 9.5). Iran has higher scores in areas like human trafficking (Iran: 7.5) and the heroin trade (Iran: 9.0), indicating greater challenges in these areas. Overall, while tourists can visit Iran, they should be aware of the safety concerns and crime statistics that suggest a higher risk compared to Austria.
