Moldova in Canada

Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Moldova as a destination for visitors from Canada?

Moldova offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions that could appeal to some Canadian travelers. While it currently sees relatively few tourists, its distinct offerings may attract a segment of the 5 million Canadians who travel abroad each year.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Moldova for tourists coming from Canada?

Moldova is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Canada. It ranks 33rd among 40 European countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night, indicating some concerns. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Moldova is ranked 61st out of 160 countries, which is lower than Canada’s 11th place ranking. In terms of crime statistics, Moldova has a murder rate of 2.3 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Canada's rate of 2.1. The rates for female murders are also higher in Moldova (1.2) compared to Canada (1.0). The Global Organized Crime Index shows that while Moldova faces challenges, such as a higher state crime index (7.0 compared to Canada’s 2.0), it has similar scores in other areas like mafia groups and crime networks. Overall, while Moldova is not as safe as Canada, it remains a viable option for tourists, with caution advised, especially in certain areas.
