Norway is an appealing destination for some travelers from Peru, thanks to its stunning fjords and rugged landscapes that offer a unique natural experience. The country attracts over a million foreign visitors annually, and with around 600,000 Peruvians traveling abroad each year, a portion of them may find Norway particularly interesting to explore.
Norway is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Peru. It ranks 28th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a high level of safety. In contrast, Peru ranks 97th on the same index. Crime statistics further highlight the safety difference: Norway has a murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Peru's 5.7. The organized crime index also shows lower scores for Norway across various crime categories, suggesting a more secure environment. While Norway ranks 18th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, specific data for Peru is not available. Overall, tourists from Peru can feel relatively safe when visiting Norway.
