What are the 5 safest countries to visit and how are they special?

 

1.     ICELAND

  • Iceland, being one of the least populated countries, has been on the top of the Global Peace Index for years now. It is one of the safest countries in the world. So, there you go, you can definitely be assured of safety as you venture through this beautiful country. There are a number of beautiful sightings, one being the magnificent and most popular – The Northern Lights and many other places like Maelifell and Kirkjufell. The trip is rightfully harm-free.

  • Although, being the safest country out there, there is one thing you have to worry about, that is, the climate of Iceland. The nature and weather of the country is of fire and ice. The weather is always unpredictable so it’s best to check beforehand on the weather.

  • Many believe that Iceland would be the safest place to go to if there was a nuclear war since the North Atlantic Ocean separates the land from the whole of the world. Therefore, the missiles would have a difficult path to cut through to make it to this Nordic land before the impact could even take place.

 

 

2.    SWITZERLAND

  • Being a sovereign state, Switzerland has a much lower crime and violence rate than in other parts of the world. Travelers often confess that they feel safe walking down the streets even in the middle of the night. This nation has the Highest Human Freedom Indexes.

  • Switzerland is well known for the various mountains, lakes, and beautiful resorts located there, also the Playground of Europe is a wonderful place where one can create beautiful memories with their loved ones. Everyone who visits here has had a time full of relishing food, outstanding scenery, and picturesque flora and fauna.

  • This nation tries its best to be out of all the worldly wars and conflicts, thus making it a safe country for its tourists.  Switzerland is also known for its strong economy and highest quality of life, making it a highly liveable nation full of life.

  • One is always advised to travel with a group and not alone, keep track of all the emergency numbers needed, and as said before, take note of the weather reports. All in all, the earthly beauty of this country is worth every penny! 

 

3.    NEW ZEALAND

  • Usually, when one thinks of the safest countries to visit, New Zealand is definitely one of the answers. This country is widely known for its democratic government.  New Zealand is supposed to be the world’s second most democratic country according to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index.

  • The citizens in the country are extremely nice and friendly. Nevertheless, be careful not to consume drinks or foods from strangers, nor leave your drinks unattended. Also, try avoiding hitchhiking or taking rides from strangers, for your own safety. There are also many active volcanoes and earthquakes around here, so make sure the places you visit are away from these sittings.

  • New Zealand flourishes with a wide and diverse range of natural beauty. It is surely no wonder that it’s called the land of Kiwis. It is so magnificent that the TV show – The Lord of the Rings - trilogy and also its prequel, that is – ‘The Hobbit’ had their set here. Many tourists come by solely to travel here for this reason!

4.    DENMARK

  • Being buddies with Iceland and Finland, Denmark too is known as one of the happiest countries in the world, and for really good reasons! There’s literally no shortage of reasons to be happy in this Scandinavian region.

  • Here, public transport is seen as a generally high standard. Therefore, traveling on a bicycle is a better way to check out this breathtaking country! There are various biking infrastructures – there are designated lanes and highways only for cycle riders all over Denmark.

  • “Hygge” lifestyle – a Danish concept from Denmark is now been globalized on a vast term. Denmark is not only a safe place to travel but it’s one of the safest places to reside in.

 

5.    FINLAND

  • Finland was officially crowned to be the Happiest Nation in 2022, and for all the possible valid reasons. Even in reality, this country is known as the place where every child’s favorite grandparent resides – you guessed it right, it’s Santa! People usually go with the phrase that says, “Being born in Finland is like winning the jackpot”. And quite surely, it is, not only a safe place to live but one of the safest places to visit!

  • Finland has a record for having a cold climate and six months of darkness. Even then, its citizens are blessed with really clean air and pure clean water. And let’s not talk about the scenery, because it is already known to be heavenly.

  • By visiting this peaceful place, tourists can enjoy the little things in life, the smallest things that matter, like sauna Baths, walking down the woods, and interacting with nature and wildlife – the most basic and simple earthly human experience!
