Tourists find Reykjavik to be the most secure location for their travels.
Traveling to a new city can be a thrilling adventure, but safety is always a top concern for tourists. According to Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection Insurance Company's findings, the safest city for travelers to visit in 2025 is none other than Reykjavík, Iceland's capital.
The insurance company based its list on travelers' responses, along with data from the Economist's Safe Cities index, GeoSure Global's indicator, and Numbeo's Crime Index. While these cities may be safe, it's crucial to remember that unexpected hiccups can still occur during travel, such as flight delays, lost luggage, or illness. Carol Mueller, the president of Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection, advises travelers to be prepared for the unpredictable.
Interestingly, when it comes to domestic travel, the safest destinations are the Netherlands, followed by Denmark and Iceland. Last year, Iceland held the top spot as the safest country for travel.
As for the rest of the world, the safest cities, according to the report, include Copenhagen, Denmark, Montreal, Canada, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Seoul, South Korea, Singapore, Tokyo, Japan, Berlin, Germany, London, UK, Sydney, Australia, Barcelona, Spain, Honolulu, USA, Rome, Italy, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Paris, France, and Rome, Italy.
When considering countries, the safest include the Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland, Australia, Norway, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and New Zealand.
While the report does not provide specific city rankings, it's worth noting that another study highlighted Chicago as the safest city for LGBTQ+ travelers[3].
Safety while traveling involves several factors, including political stability, health standards, low crime rates, efficient infrastructure, and natural risk management[4][5]. Iceland, for instance, stands out for its low crime rates, social stability, and efficient infrastructure, earning it the title of the safest destination in 2025[4][5]. Australia, with its remote location and low crime rates, follows closely behind[5]. Canada's exact ranking in the top safest countries is not specified in the search results[1][4].
