Romania has emerged as an appealing destination in the global tourism scene, offering a unique mix of cultural charm, historical depth, and varied natural beauty. With around 6.8 million foreign tourists annually, it ranks highly in regional tourism, drawing visitors to its medieval towns, gothic castles, and the stunning Carpathian Mountains. Given that 1.8 million Finns travel abroad each year, a portion may find Romania an attractive option for their travels.
Romania is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Finland. It ranks 19th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Finland's 8th place. According to the Global Peace Index, Romania is ranked 36th out of 160 countries, again not as safe as Finland, which is 13th. In terms of crime statistics, Romania has a murder rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Finland's rate of 1.6. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Romania at 0.8 and Finland at 1.1. Regarding organized crime, Romania scores slightly worse than Finland in various categories, such as mafia presence and human trafficking. However, overall, Romania remains a relatively safe country for tourists. Visitors should exercise standard precautions, as they would in any foreign country.
