Italy is a highly appealing destination for Finnish visitors, thanks to its rich history, culture, and iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. With 1.8 million Finns traveling abroad annually, a significant number are likely to consider Italy for their travels.
Italy is generally safe for tourists, but it has a lower safety ranking compared to Finland. In terms of walking alone at night, Italy ranks 34th out of 40 countries, while Finland ranks 8th. According to the Global Peace Index, Italy is ranked 33rd out of 160 countries, compared to Finland's 13th place. Murder rates also reflect this disparity: Finland has a murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 people, whereas Italy's is lower at 0.5. Organized crime is more prevalent in Italy, with a mafia index of 9.0 compared to Finland's 3.0. While crime networks are similarly rated at 3.0 for Finland and 3.0 for Italy, other crime-related indices show Italy facing greater challenges, particularly in state crime (6.5) and foreign crime (7.0). Overall, while Italy is relatively safe, tourists from Finland should remain aware of their surroundings, especially at night.
