Latvia offers a unique blend of cultural richness and natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for some Croatian travelers. With 600,000 Croats traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Latvia's strategic location and developed tourism infrastructure attractive for their trips.
Latvia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Croatia. However, it ranks lower in safety compared to Croatia in certain aspects. According to safety rankings, Latvia is 25th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, whereas Croatia is ranked as the safest. In terms of overall safety, Latvia is ranked 30th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, compared to Croatia's 15th place. The murder rate in Latvia is higher, at 3.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Croatia's 0.8. While Latvia has a relatively low organized crime index, it still shows some areas of concern, particularly in murder rates and safety while walking alone at night. Tourists should remain vigilant but can generally expect a safe experience in Latvia.
