Malta offers a compelling destination for Portuguese travelers, thanks to its rich history, vibrant culture, and strategic Mediterranean location. With around one million international visitors annually, it presents a unique experience that could attract a portion of the one million Portuguese who travel abroad each year.
Malta is generally considered safe for tourists, but it ranks lower than Portugal in terms of safety while walking alone at night, with Malta at 26th and Portugal at 15th in a safety ranking of 40 countries. According to the Global Peace Index, Portugal is notably safer, ranked 7th out of 160 countries, while there is no available data for Malta. In terms of murder rates, Malta has a lower rate (0.4 per 100,000) compared to Portugal (0.8), and there have been no recorded female murders in Malta. When examining organized crime, Malta scores better in mafia presence (1.5) compared to Portugal (4.5), but has higher scores in crime networks (7.0) and state crime (7.5). Overall, while Malta is relatively safe, travelers should remain aware of their surroundings, particularly at night.
