Italy is an appealing destination for a segment of the 171 million people in Bangladesh, thanks to its rich history and culture. The country's iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence, along with its stunning landscapes, attract millions of international tourists each year.
Italy is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Bangladesh. According to the Global Peace Index, Italy ranks 33rd out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Bangladesh, which ranks 91st. While Italy is ranked 34th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, its overall murder rate is significantly lower than that of Bangladesh, with Italy at 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to Bangladesh's 2.4. In terms of organized crime, Italy has a higher index for mafia presence (9.0) compared to Bangladesh (5.5), but it also has lower indices for crime networks and various forms of trafficking. Overall, while no destination is without risk, Italy is statistically safer than Bangladesh, making it a viable option for Bangladeshi tourists.
