The Netherlands is an appealing destination for Indonesian visitors, known for its picturesque canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. The country offers a unique mix of urban sophistication and rustic charm, attracting millions of tourists annually. With around 500,000 Indonesians traveling abroad each year, a portion of them may find the Netherlands particularly interesting to explore.
The Netherlands is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Indonesia. It ranks 9th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, the Netherlands is the 18th safest country out of 160 globally, which is notably safer than Indonesia, ranked 47th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is slightly higher than in Indonesia, at 0.7 per 100,000 people compared to Indonesia's 0.6. However, the Netherlands has lower indices for organized crime, indicating a more stable environment. For instance, the Netherlands scores better in state crime (2.5 vs. Indonesia's 7.5) and has lower rates of various forms of trafficking and organized crime. Overall, while no country is without risks, the Netherlands offers a relatively safe environment for tourists.
