Please answer the following question: How safe is Latvia for tourists coming from Spain?

Latvia is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Spain. It ranks 25th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is comparable to Spain's ranking of 22nd. According to the Global Peace Index, Latvia is ranked 30th out of 160 countries, slightly less safe than Spain, which is 23rd. However, it's important to note that Latvia has a higher murder rate, with 3.0 per 100,000 people compared to Spain's 0.6. Female murder rates are also higher in Latvia (3.6) than in Spain (0.4). In terms of organized crime, Latvia performs better in some areas, such as state crime and flora crime, but Spain generally has lower indices for various crime networks and human trafficking. Overall, while Latvia is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise typical precautions, similar to those they would take in Spain.
