Romania has emerged as an appealing destination for travelers, featuring a captivating mix of culture, history, and natural beauty. With around 6.8 million foreign tourists annually, it ranks highly in regional tourism, drawing attention for its medieval towns, gothic castles, and the scenic Carpathian Mountains. Given that approximately 1 million Slovaks travel abroad each year, a portion of them may find Romania an interesting place to visit.
Romania is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Slovakia. It ranks 19th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Slovakia's ranking of 12th. According to the Global Peace Index, Romania is ranked 36th out of 160 countries, again not as safe as Slovakia, which ranks 27th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Romania is 1.3 per 100,000 people, compared to Slovakia's 1.0. Female murder rates are also higher in Romania at 0.8, versus 0.6 in Slovakia. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that while Romania has some challenges, such as a higher score for human trafficking (6.5 compared to Slovakia's 5.5), it performs better in areas like state crime (3.5 for Romania vs. 6.5 for Slovakia). Overall, while Romania may have some safety concerns, it remains a relatively safe option for tourists from Slovakia.
