World's Safest Countries and Cities to Visit in 2023

There are many things that determine where you should visit in 2023. If you're looking for somewhere to go on vacation, safety is one of the first things that people consider. Luckily for travelers, many countries and cities have taken serious steps to boost safety over the past few years. Here are some of the safest places to visit this year:



Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Netherlands is one of the safest countries in Europe, and Amsterdam is no exception. The Dutch crime rate and homicide rate are among the lowest in Europe. Violent crime is also very rare here, with only about 40 murders per year across all of Holland! You can feel safe walking around at night, which is great news for tourists who want to experience everything Amsterdam has to offer.

If you're thinking about visiting this gorgeous city any time soon (and if not, I highly recommend it), then you're going to be glad to know that it's one of the safest in Europe too!



Wellington, New Zealand

Wellington, New Zealand is a beautiful country with all kinds of things to do. It’s one of the safest countries in the world too!

Do you want to visit? You should go ahead! Wellington is very safe for tourists. To give you an idea, it has a low crime rate and a low rate of violent crime. You’ll feel really safe there! If you ever get lost or need help, just ask someone nearby—they’ll probably be able to help out. They won't mind at all because everyone who lives there loves visitors and wants them to have a good time.



Munich, Germany

If you're looking to enjoy the sights and sounds of Europe in a safe place, look no further than Munich. With its Germanic architecture and rich culture, this Bavarian city is perfect for travelers who want to experience some of Europe's most fascinating cities without worrying about crime or violence. The city has an impressively low crime rate, as well as a strong police presence that ensures residents feel safe walking around town. Additionally, Munich has a low unemployment rate—low enough that it makes sense for many people in the city to work part-time jobs rather than full ones—and a low poverty rate: both factors contribute even more toward making people feel content with their lives and comfortable living where they do. Finally, because the population is spread out over wide areas (instead of being concentrated into large urban centers), there isn't much pressure on any given neighborhood; this means that while there are plenty of opportunities for socializing within neighborhoods where one lives or works, there aren't any particular risks associated with leaving one's home at night since everyone else is also out doing similar things at different times throughout the evening!



Sydney, Australia

Sydney is a very safe city overall. The city has a low crime rate and is one of the safest cities in the world. The violent crime rate is extremely low, as well as the property crime rate and car theft rate. There are very few assaults compared to other areas around the world, and murder rates are also low here. This makes Sydney an excellent choice for anyone looking for a safe place to visit or live!



Stockholm, Sweden

Sweden is a country that has been making headlines for its progressive views and policies. Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is no exception. The city is known for being safe and welcoming to tourists. With a population of more than two million people, Stockholm offers visitors ample dining options and plenty of cultural attractions to explore.

If you're looking for peace of mind when travelling abroad in 2023, then this Scandinavian country should be high on your list!



Vienna, Austria

Vienna is a city of culture and history. It has been the capital of Austria since it was founded in 1298. Today, Vienna is also home to many museums, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Albertina. Vienna boasts one of Europe's most vibrant classical music scenes and its rich musical tradition is celebrated every year during its annual Mozart Week festival.



Quebec City, Canada

In Canada, Quebec is one of the safest provinces. In fact, it has a low homicide rate and violent crime rate overall. The city of Quebec is even safer than the rest of this province: when you're traveling around its historic Old Town district, you can feel as safe as if you were walking around your own neighborhood (or even better!).

The reason for this is that Quebec's police department keeps up with current technology trends. They have developed mobile apps for people to file reports from their smartphones or tablets, which makes it easier for residents to report crimes without having to leave their homes or offices; thus reducing the number of times police officers are called upon because someone couldn't take time out from their busy schedule just because something happened that may not be serious enough to warrant an emergency response call-out but urgent enough they want immediate attention paid before things get worse!

Another way they've made life safer here at home is by working closely with other local law enforcement agencies in neighbouring townships so we don't end up wasting resources unnecessarily responding only then discover there was no need after all!



Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark, located in northern Europe on the island of Zealand. The city has an estimated population of 1,245,101 and was founded in 1067 by King Canute IV as a trading town. Copenhagen has been regularly ranked as one of the world's most livable cities since 2010 and been named European Green Capital two times (2012-2013 and 2014-2015). It's also home to some of the best Michelin starred restaurants in all of Europe.

The city is very safe with an overall crime rate that ranks among some of lowest on earth, according to Numbeo data. Violent crimes are rare and most crimes committed are petty thefts such as pickpocketing or purse snatching.

Copenhagen also boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Roskilde Cathedral which holds royal burial chambers; Frederiksborg Castle which contains a large art collection; Danish National Museum for Art & Design contains artwork from early 1800s through present day; M/F Absalon statue commemorating King Christian II who died during battle against Lübeck pirates off Falster Island; Frederiksholm Canal connects Christianshavn district at Christiansgade Street with Slotsholmen island where Christiansborg Palace houses Parliament offices along with other government buildings including National Archive Library holding over 3 million documents dating back centuries ago!



Auckland, New Zealand

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, and it’s also the most populous metropolitan area with 1.5 million people. It’s a gateway to the islands of Hauraki Gulf, including Waiheke Island. Auckland is considered an international hub for business and finance, but it’s also known as a hipster haven thanks to its trendy art galleries and cafes.



Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo, Japan is the safest city in the world, according to a new Global Peace Index (GPI). The rankings are based on several factors that include safety and security levels of cities. Tokyo has been ranked as one of the most expensive cities in Asia with a high cost of living but still offers great value for money if you’re looking for an exciting city break or holiday destination.

With a low crime rate, Tokyo can be considered as one of the best places to visit in Asia without any worry about your personal safety. It also has low rates of violent crime and petty crimes like theft and pickpocketing.

Because of these reasons, it’s no surprise that Tokyo is known as an ideal place for tourists who want to explore Japanese culture without worrying about their own safety or property damage because of petty criminals or street thieves.



In 2023 many countries and cities have taken serious steps to boost safety.

Safety is a top priority for many travelers, and there are many reasons why you should be cautious when visiting unfamiliar areas. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) recently released its annual report on the global travel and tourism industry. According to this report, in 2023 many countries and cities have taken serious steps to boost safety.

The WTTC’s annual report measures the economic impact of tourism worldwide. The WTTC reported that in 2022 over 1.2 billion people traveled abroad for business or leisure purposes, which was an increase from 1 billion people in 2021. This shows that more people are traveling abroad than ever before!

Safety is very important for both tourists as well as locals who live near tourist destinations like parks or beaches because these places can get crowded quickly if too many tourists visit them at once without enough staff members present to keep everyone safe from harm's way.


It’s not surprising to see that many of the safest countries and cities are in Europe. After all, they have been at the forefront of creating a safe environment for their citizens for centuries. However, there are also some Asian locations on this list that deserve special attention – Tokyo is perhaps the safest city in the world! And though Australia may not seem like an obvious choice when looking at travel safety statistics, it’s important to note that its location makes it ideal for both short-term or long-term travellers alike - after all, who doesn't love sandy beaches?
