Frequently asked questions

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

Moldova offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions that could appeal to some Norwegian travelers. While it currently sees a modest number of tourists, the country's rich experiences may attract a portion of the 1.7 million Norwegians who travel abroad annually.

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

Moldova's safety for tourists, including those from Norway, presents a mixed picture. While it ranks 33rd out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, significantly lower than Norway's 18th position, it is considered relatively safe overall, with a Global Peace Index ranking of 61st out of 160 countries compared to Norway's 28th. In terms of crime statistics, Moldova has a higher murder rate at 2.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Norway's 0.5. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Moldova at 1.2 and Norway at 0.6. Regarding organized crime, Moldova has indices that suggest some challenges, particularly in state crime (7.0) and human trafficking (7.5), compared to Norway's much lower scores (2.0 and 5.0, respectively). Overall, while Moldova is not as safe as Norway, it remains a destination that many tourists visit. It is advisable for travelers to stay informed and exercise caution, particularly in unfamiliar areas.
