The Netherlands is an appealing destination for some visitors from Guinea Bissau, thanks to its famous canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. Its mix of urban sophistication and rustic charm attracts millions of tourists annually, making it a noteworthy option for a segment of Guinea Bissau's population of 2 million.
The Netherlands is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Guinea Bissau. It ranks 9th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. Additionally, the Global Peace Index places the Netherlands as the 18th safest country out of 160 worldwide, significantly safer than Guinea Bissau, which ranks 83rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is 0.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Guinea Bissau's 1.1. The Netherlands also has lower indices for organized crime and state crime, indicating a more secure environment. While some crime exists in both countries, the overall safety and stability in the Netherlands make it a safer choice for travelers.
