Safest Countries & Cities: A New Ranking

So where can you travel where it’s safe? One major insurance company ranked the safest cities in the world based on factors like weather, terrorism, health measures, even the safety of women and minorities.

 

Iceland, New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland, Ireland, and Sweden made the top 10 for safe countries.

 

Montreal, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Singapore ranked highest for cities.

 

And 56% of those surveyed said they still feared disease outbreaks. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be traveling this year.
