The Netherlands is an appealing destination for Romanian travelers, known for its picturesque canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. With a unique mix of urban elegance and rural beauty, it draws millions of tourists annually. Given that 11.6 million Romanians travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find the Netherlands an attractive option.
The Netherlands is considered one of the safest countries in Europe for tourists, including those from Romania. It ranks 9th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, compared to Romania's 19th place. Additionally, the Netherlands is ranked 18th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, again safer than Romania, which ranks 36th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is lower at 0.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Romania's 1.3. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with the Netherlands at 0.4 and Romania at 0.8. While both countries face challenges with organized crime, the Netherlands generally has better indices in several categories, such as state crime (2.5 for the Netherlands vs. 3.5 for Romania) and flora crime (3.0 vs. 6.0). However, Romania has lower indices in certain areas like human trafficking (6.5 for Romania vs. 5.5 for the Netherlands). Overall, tourists from Romania can feel relatively safe visiting the Netherlands, which has lower crime rates and a higher safety ranking.
