Being safe while traveling is a #1 priority for many. It’s a sad fact that many beautiful travel destinations (such as Columbia) are simply not safe for most people to travel to. While most places are generally safe, especially in well known “safe” districts, there are 7 countries that are well known for their low crime rates and high safety ratings.
New Zealand is high on the list of safe countries to visit. It has a relatively low population, and it’s an overall peaceful place to be. Many of the residents are natives and have lived there for their entire lives. Not only does this country provide exquisite landscapes, but also plenty of activities and safe fun.
Denmark is a country that is happy overall, and therefore, there are fewer crimes. Like any country this one does have its ups and downs, but overall its stable and minimal murders and robberies take place. You probably won’t get mugged in Denmark unless you are in the wrong part of town.
Norway is a beautiful country with majestic mountains and clean landscapes to explore. There are tons of attractions in Norway, both affordable and luxury. One of the best parts is that it is a safe place to visit and crime is minimal. While crime is “rising”, it doesn’t pose a huge threat to travelers.
Iceland is known for its remarkably low crime rate, happy people, and safe environment. Almost everyone keeps their doors unlocked and people are friendly here all around. If you want to visit someplace safe and beautiful, Iceland has to be it. There are very few crimes and when crimes do occur, they are minimal ones.
Austria is a pretty safe country too, but some cities (such as Budapest) are not as safe as others like Vienna. When in Austria, get advice from those who know which areas are safe and which are not.
Sweden is a clean and beautiful nation with beautiful people and safe places to visit. The crime rates here are low and well controlled. People seem to have better things to do.
Japan is a place of zen people, crazy customs, and low crime. If you want to visit a unique and culture rich country, go to Japan. It has plenty of fun opportunities for anyone.
Most countries in Europe are relatively safe, and they include Finland as well as Slovenia. Other countries that have records for low crime rates include Canada. It’s no surprise that the US isn’t on the list. However, these other countries are far more interesting if you already live in the United States anyway. As with any travel excursion, be sure to ask questions and get reviews from people who live there. They can tell you better than anyone, if something is safe or not. If you are adamant about traveling to a particularly risky place, be sure to take a self defense course ahead of time and pack lightly without valuables.

[...] for the first time, a good take off point is the communa known as Providencia. This is a perfectly safe place for tourists to roam around in, which is always a plus especially for those who tend to stick out of the crowd. [...]
bad geography… maybe he’s american?
“Austria is a pretty safe country too, but some cities (such as Budapest) are not as safe as others like Vienna.”
You should perhaps look a bit more thouroughly into your geography test books, you miserable ass!
Have you ever been around?
An Austrian Guy from the “unsafe Budapest”
You left out Singapore.
And Japan has low crime rate? Which news sources do you subscribe to?
france was 3rd safest country in europe (probability cuz they have 5th largest military)
I’m not even going to bother mentioning the Budapest thing (others already have), but this?
“Many of the residents are natives and have lived there for their entire lives.”
You make it sound like only the Maoris have lived there their entire lives. Like Caucasian or Asian New Zealanders weren’t born there.
But what on earth does people living in a country their entire lives have to do with the safeness of a country anyway?
