The Netherlands is an appealing destination for many Austrians, thanks to its famous canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities.

The Netherlands is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Austria. It ranks 9th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is better than Austria's ranking of 14th.

When looking at organized crime, Austria generally scores better than the Netherlands in various categories, such as mafia presence and crime networks.
