Malta is an appealing destination for some Norwegian travelers due to its rich history, culture, and strategic Mediterranean location. Annually, around one million international visitors explore Malta, and with 1.7 million Norwegians traveling abroad each year, there is potential interest among them in visiting Malta.
Malta is generally safe for tourists, including those from Norway, but it has a slightly lower safety ranking compared to Norway. According to safety rankings, Malta is 26th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, whereas Norway ranks 18th. In terms of crime statistics, Malta has a murder rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people, which is slightly lower than Norway's rate of 0.5. However, there is no specific data available for Malta in the Global Peace Index, where Norway ranks 28th among 160 countries. When examining organized crime indices, Malta shows some higher risks in certain areas compared to Norway, particularly in crime networks and state crime. However, it also has lower scores in areas like mafia groups and arms trafficking. Overall, while Malta is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as they would in any destination.
