Portugal is an appealing destination for Danish visitors, thanks to its rich culture and stunning landscapes. Although the popularity of the country has varied, recent trends show a gradual increase in foreign tourist arrivals. With 3.2 million Danes traveling abroad annually, a portion of them is likely to consider Portugal as a travel option.
Portugal is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Denmark. It ranks 15th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Denmark's 6th place. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Portugal is ranked 7th out of 160 countries, making it one of the safest countries in the world, comparable to Denmark's 8th position. In terms of murder rates, both countries have similar statistics, with Denmark and Portugal each at 0.8 murders per 100,000 people. Female murder rates are slightly higher in Portugal (0.6) compared to Denmark (0.5). The Global Organized Crime Index shows that while Denmark generally scores better in various crime categories, Portugal's scores are still relatively low, indicating a moderate level of organized crime. For instance, Portugal's score for mafia groups is 4.5, while Denmark's is 5.0. Overall, while Denmark is statistically safer, Portugal remains a secure option for travelers, with low crime rates and a high ranking in global safety.
