Malta offers a compelling destination for Romanian travelers, featuring a blend of history, culture, and modern tourism. Its central Mediterranean location and numerous historical sites attract about one million international visitors annually. Given that 11.6 million Romanians travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Malta appealing for their travels.
Malta is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Romania. However, it ranks 26th out of 40 countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Romania's ranking of 19th. According to the Global Peace Index, Romania is ranked 36th among 160 countries, while there is no specific data available for Malta. In terms of crime statistics, Malta has a lower murder rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people compared to Romania's 1.3. Additionally, there are no recorded female murders in Malta, while Romania has a rate of 0.8. Regarding organized crime, Malta scores better on mafia presence (1.5 vs. Romania's 4.0) but has higher scores for crime networks (7.0 vs. Romania's 5.0) and state crime (7.5 vs. Romania's 3.5). Overall, while Malta is relatively safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise caution, as with travel to any destination.
