Frequently asked questions

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

Moldova offers a unique appeal for Danish travelers, featuring a rich blend of cultural and natural attractions. Although it sees relatively few tourists, it could attract a segment of the 3.2 million Danes who travel abroad annually.

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

Moldova's safety for tourists, particularly those from Denmark, presents a mixed picture. While it ranks 33rd out of 40 countries for safety when walking alone at night, Denmark is much safer, ranking 6th. The Global Peace Index places Moldova at 61st out of 160 countries, again lower than Denmark's 8th position. In terms of crime statistics, Moldova has a higher murder rate of 2.3 per 100,000 people compared to Denmark's 0.8. Female murder rates are also higher in Moldova (1.2) than in Denmark (0.5). Regarding organized crime, Moldova scores worse in several categories, particularly in state crime (7.0) and human trafficking (7.5), compared to Denmark's much lower scores (2.0 and 4.0, respectively). Overall, while Moldova is relatively safe, it is not as safe as Denmark, and tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions.
