Romania has emerged as an appealing destination for travelers, featuring a rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and stunning natural landscapes. With around 6.8 million foreign tourists annually, it ranks highly in regional tourism, offering attractions like medieval towns, gothic castles, and the Carpathian Mountains. Given that 500,000 Cypriots travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Romania to be an attractive option for their travels.
Romania is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Cyprus. It ranks 19th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Cyprus's ranking of 11th. However, according to the Global Peace Index, Romania is ranked 36th out of 160 countries, indicating it is relatively safe, particularly compared to Cyprus, which ranks 86th. Both countries have the same murder rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people, with Romania having a slightly lower rate of female murders at 0.8 compared to Cyprus's 1.1. In terms of organized crime, Romania scores slightly worse than Cyprus in some categories, but it remains a safe environment overall. Tourists should exercise standard precautions, as they would in any country.
