Italy is a highly appealing destination for visitors from São Tomé and Príncipe, thanks to its rich history, culture, and iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. These attractions draw millions of tourists each year, making it an enticing option for a segment of the São Toméan population.
Italy is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Sao Tome and Principe. According to safety rankings, Italy is 34th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. However, it holds a better position globally, ranked 33rd among 160 countries in the Global Peace Index. In terms of crime statistics, Italy has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to Sao Tome and Principe's rate of 3.3. Additionally, female murder rates are also lower in Italy (0.4) than in Sao Tome and Principe (0.0). However, it's important to note that Italy faces challenges with organized crime, ranking poorly in the Global Organized Crime Index, particularly concerning mafia groups and various crime networks. While Sao Tome and Principe has a better score in some areas, tourists should remain vigilant in both countries. Overall, while Italy has certain safety concerns, it is relatively safe for tourists, especially when compared to many other destinations.
