Malta offers a compelling destination for Icelandic travelers due to its rich history, culture, and strategic Mediterranean location. With around one million international visitors annually, it attracts a portion of the approximately 100,000 Icelanders who travel abroad each year, making it an appealing option for some.
Malta is generally safe for tourists, but it ranks 26th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Iceland's 3rd place ranking. According to the Global Peace Index, Iceland is the safest country globally, while there is no specific data for Malta. In terms of murder rates, Malta has a lower rate (0.4 per 100,000) compared to Iceland (0.5), with no recorded female murders in Malta. Regarding organized crime, Malta scores higher in several categories compared to Iceland, indicating a greater presence of crime networks and state crime. However, both countries have relatively low scores for mafia activity and drug trafficking. Overall, while Malta is safe, it is advisable for tourists from Iceland to remain aware of their surroundings, especially at night.
