Safety is a pretty big concern for any traveler. All those art museums, historical landmarks, and chill bars are going to be really hard to enjoy if you’re not safe. On that note, here are the safest countries in the world.
The 2016 Global Peace Index, put together by the Institute for Economics and Peace, recently measured the safety and peacefulness of 163 countries according to “23 qualitative and quantitative indicators.” After indicators such as terrorism impact, perception of criminality, and political instability were taken into account, Iceland was found to be the world’s safest country for the sixth year in a row.
