Russia offers a rich blend of cultural and natural attractions, making it an intriguing option for some Italian travelers. While it receives around 6.4 million foreign visitors annually, its appeal lies in the variety of experiences available. With 12.4 million Italians traveling abroad each year, a portion may find Russia an interesting destination.
Russia presents a mixed picture in terms of safety for tourists from Italy. While it ranks 30th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night—making it safer than Italy, which ranks 34th—its overall safety is concerning. According to the Global Peace Index, Russia is ranked 154th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Italy's 33rd position. Crime statistics reveal a stark contrast in murder rates, with Russia's rate at 6.8 per 100,000 people compared to Italy's 0.5. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Russia at 3.3 and Italy at 0.4. Furthermore, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while organized crime is a serious issue in both countries, Russia has higher indices for various types of crime, such as crime networks (7.5) and state crime (8.5), compared to Italy's indices of 3.0 and 6.5, respectively. In summary, while certain aspects of safety may favor Russia over Italy, the overall crime rates and organized crime issues suggest that caution is advisable for tourists.
