1 mission of Romania in Iceland: Consulate of Romania in Reykjavik, Iceland. Addresses, phones and contacts.

Romania has emerged as an appealing destination, offering a unique mix of cultural attractions, historical sites, and stunning natural landscapes. With around 6.8 million foreign tourists annually, it ranks highly in regional tourism, featuring medieval towns, gothic castles, and the scenic Carpathian Mountains. Given that about 100,000 Icelanders travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Romania an intriguing option for their travels.
Romania is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Iceland. It ranks 19th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Iceland's 3rd place ranking. According to the Global Peace Index, Romania ranks 36th out of 160 countries, again not as safe as Iceland, which is the safest country. In terms of crime statistics, Romania has a murder rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Iceland's very low rate of 0.5. While the presence of organized crime is noted, with Romania scoring 4.0 for mafia groups (Iceland scores 4.5), overall, Romania remains a relatively safe place for travelers. Tourists should stay informed and exercise common safety precautions, but they can generally feel secure while visiting Romania.
