The Netherlands is an appealing destination for some visitors from Singapore, thanks to its picturesque canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. With a unique combination of urban sophistication and rustic charm, it draws millions of tourists annually. Given that around 800,000 Singaporeans travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find the Netherlands an attractive option for their travels.
The Netherlands is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Singapore. It ranks 9th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night and is 18th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a high level of safety. However, it is important to note that Singapore ranks higher at 5th on the same index. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is 0.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Singapore's very low rate of 0.1. Additionally, various organized crime indices show that Singapore generally has lower scores (indicating better safety) across multiple categories, such as mafia groups and drug trafficking. Overall, while the Netherlands is a safe destination, travelers from Singapore may find it has a higher crime rate than their home country.
