Russia offers a rich blend of cultural and natural attractions, making it an intriguing option for some Israeli travelers. While it receives around 6.4 million foreign visitors each year, its appeal lies in the variety of experiences available. With 3 million Israelis traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Russia to be a compelling destination.
Russia's safety for tourists from Israel presents a mixed picture. In terms of safety while walking alone at night, Russia ranks 30th out of 40 European countries, but specific data for Israel is not available. The Global Peace Index places Russia at 154th out of 160 countries, slightly less safe than Israel, which ranks 152nd. Regarding crime statistics, the murder rate in Russia is significantly higher at 6.8 per 100,000 people compared to Israel's 1.9. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Russia at 3.3 and Israel at 0.6. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Russia faces challenges with organized crime, scoring worse than Israel in several categories, such as crime networks (Russia 7.5 vs. Israel 4.0) and state crime (Russia 8.5 vs. Israel 5.0). Overall, while Russia has its risks, particularly related to violent crime and organized crime, it is essential for tourists to stay informed and take necessary precautions when traveling.
