Norway is an appealing destination for some Estonian travelers, thanks to its stunning fjords and rugged landscapes that offer a unique natural experience. With over a million foreign visitors each year, it has a thriving tourism industry. Given that around 600,000 Estonians travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Norway an attractive option.
Norway is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Estonia. It ranks 18th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Estonia's 4th place ranking. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Norway is relatively safe, ranked 28th out of 160 countries, compared to Estonia's 24th position. In terms of crime statistics, Norway has a lower murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Estonia's 2.0. Both countries have similar rates for female murders, at 0.6. When looking at organized crime indices, Estonia generally scores better than Norway in several categories, such as mafia groups and state crime. However, both countries have comparable scores in state crime and human trafficking. Overall, while Norway may not be as safe as Estonia in certain aspects, it remains a secure option for travelers.
