For many, safety is the first concern when planning a trip or moving to a new nation. A stress-free journey requires careful planning and security awareness, whether you’re travelling across the globe or just to a nearby country.
Here are 5 safest countries to travel in 2024
1. Canada
Canada, sometimes known as “The Great White North,” topped this year’s list of the safest nations for tourists. This feat is due to low levels of violent crime and strict firearm laws. It’s worth mentioning that this country, known for its high standard of living and political stability, was ranked sixth last year.
2. Switzerland
Switzerland, which is well-known for its low crime rate and safety, is ranked as the second safest place to visit. This country is renowned for both its amazing standard of living and magnificent natural beauty, which includes gorgeous places such as Lake Geneva and Lake Zurich.
3. Norway
Apart from providing incredible views of the captivating northern lights, Norway is also one of the safest destinations due to its low crime rate, low terrorist activity and rarely violent protests.
4. Iceland
Since 2008, Iceland has maintained its status as the world’s most peaceful and safe nation. But because there have been a few violent protests in the past year, its rating has somewhat declined.
5. Austria
Austria is another European country that is recognized as one of the world’s safest, with exceptionally low levels of domestic and international violence, as well as high levels of social safety and security, making it one of the top places to live and work.
