The Isle of Man is a British crown dependency, located in the Irish Sea. The territory is formed of the main island as well as the following smaller islands: the Calf of Man, Chicken Rock, St Patrick’s Isle and St Michael’s Isle. The Calf of Man is inhabited seasonally and St. Patrick’s Isle and St. Michael’s Isle are connected to the main island by permanent causeways.
The Isle of Man forms part of the British Isles but not part of the UK; the Isle of Man is essentially independent but relies on the British government for military protection and international representation. The chief of state is the Lord of Mann, the King/Queen of England, who is represented by a Lieutenant Governor on the Isle of Man. The head of government is held by the chief minister. The population of the Isle of Man is estimated to be approximately 83,000 people (2016).
The earliest inhabitants of the Isle of Man were Celts. When Norway invaded in 800CE, the isle came under Norwegian administration until 1266 when it was sold to Scotland. However, when Scotland came under English control, the island did as well.
Today, the economy of the Isle of Man relies heavily on offshore banking, manufacturing of high-tech products and tourism. The Isle of Man has long been a UK tourist destination but looks to continue to expand its tourism industry.
Due to its location, the island experiences a temperate climate and regular overcast skies. Nevertheless, the Isle of Man has fantastic scenery, diverse wildlife and a wealth of outdoor activities such as golfing, hiking, cycling and water sports for everyone to enjoy.

Isle of Man中的安全性
人身安全
馬恩島是英國最安全的居住地之一。 2022年至2023年，記錄在案的犯罪率下降了6%，犯罪嚴重程度比英格蘭和威爾斯犯罪率最低的地區低60%以上。島上每千人口的犯罪率低於英國任何警察轄區。暴力犯罪率仍然極低，近年來嚴重攻擊事件顯著減少。整體犯罪偵破率為46%。扒手和搶包等輕微犯罪很少發生。當地社區熱情友好，尊重遊客。毒品販運仍是執法部門的重點對象，近年來緝獲了大量毒品。該島的緊急服務高效，官員腐敗率低。您不會遇到其他旅遊目的地常見的旅遊騙局。
極端暴力
馬恩島幾乎不存在極端暴力事件。該島近期沒有發生恐怖主義事件，針對個人的暴力犯罪率也維持在非常低的水平。大多數發生的暴力犯罪與非法販毒有關，而非針對居民或遊客的隨機行為。近年來，沒有發生過重大恐怖威脅或攻擊事件。該島屬於英國禁止的恐怖組織名單，但目前沒有恐怖主義活動。犯罪嚴重程度遠低於英格蘭和威爾斯的任何地方，近來報告的嚴重攻擊事件有所減少。島上人口稀少，社區凝聚力強，使其成為安全記錄優異的地區之一。與任何形式的極端暴力相比，您更有可能遇到與青少年犯罪或毒品相關的事件。
政治動盪
馬恩島的政治動盪極為罕見。該島維持著穩定的自治政治體制，大多數政客都是獨立人士，而非政黨代表。近期的示威活動規模較小且和平，主要集中在國際問題而非國內事務。 2025年9月，國際特赦組織組織了針對巴勒斯坦和武器製造等政府活動的和平抗議活動，未通報任何暴力或暴動事件。 2020年6月，一場「黑人的命也是命」示威活動吸引了1,000多人參加，以和平方式聲援國際運動。這些集會只是例外，非常態。該島歷史上從未發生過內亂、騷亂或出於政治動機的暴力事件。遊客無需特別注意公眾抗議活動，因為它們並不頻繁，警方管理得當，並且不會影響日常生活或旅遊業。政治環境保持穩定，擁有強大的機構和廣泛的共識治理。
應避免的區域
馬恩島沒有特別要求遊客出於安全考慮而避開的區域。從首府道格拉斯到鄉村，全島犯罪率始終保持在低點。所有主要城鎮，包括道格拉斯、皮爾、卡斯爾敦和拉姆齊，無論白天或夜晚，都適合遊客安全遊覽。沿海地區、海灘和健行步道沒有安全隱患，但海岸懸崖由於地形而非犯罪因素，需要保持常規警覺。在五月和六月的TT賽事期間，山地賽道會因比賽而關閉，但這是計劃內的活動，而非安全隱患。一些遊客注意到，城鎮中成群的學齡男孩偶爾會表現粗魯或進行輕微的喧嘩，但這僅代表滋擾行為，而非真正的威脅。深夜時分，遊客需要像其他目的地一樣保持安全警戒，但暴力犯罪仍然極為罕見。鄉村地區和峽谷與城市中心一樣安全，主要考慮的是天氣狀況或地形等自然災害，而非犯罪。
