Norway offers a captivating experience for travelers, featuring stunning fjords and rugged landscapes that appeal to nature enthusiasts. With a thriving tourism sector that welcomes over a million international visitors each year, it presents an intriguing option for some of the 3.5 million Kazakh citizens who travel abroad annually.
Norway is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Kazakhstan. It ranks 18th among 40 European countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night. The Global Peace Index places Norway 28th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety compared to Kazakhstan, which ranks 57th. In terms of crime statistics, Norway has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Kazakhstan's 3.2. Additionally, the overall organized crime indices suggest that Norway has a more favorable environment, particularly in state crime (Norway: 2.0 vs. Kazakhstan: 6.0). While both countries face challenges related to organized crime, Norway's crime rates and indices indicate a safer environment for tourists. Overall, visitors from Kazakhstan can feel relatively secure while traveling in Norway.
