WELCOME TO SAFE DESTINATIONS

Safety is one of the major concerns for most people when choosing a vacation
spot. We all want a family vacation to be memorable, however we probably don’t
want memorable to mean a holiday that involved accidents or violence or theft or
terrorism or sickness. By memorable we probably mean that we will bring back
fond and fuzzy memories of our experiences. A relaxing safe tropical vacation
usually means nothing more than reading a good book or playing on the beach and
swimming.

The fact that one person visits a country and labels it as a safe country for a
family to visit does not mean that this will be the case for other families or
visitors nor will the information on this website necessarily be up to date and
include any recent incidents of civil unrest or conflict or changing population
patterns that can occur during world crisis.

SAFEST COUNTRIES FOR TRAVEL

Safest countries for travel in Europe
Safest countries for travel in The Americas & Caribbean
Safest countries for travel in Oceania & Asia
Safest countries for travel in the Middle East & Africa


Today’s travelers and tourists are more and more wanting to visit the natural
beauty and remote regions of a country in order to discover more than just the
big cities and commonly advertised attractions so now, more than ever, the
safety and security of any particular destination is a key deciding factor of a
the safety rating a country receives.



These rankings presented here are based on the reliability of the police and
legal protective system in a country as well as the rates of criminal activity
and the potential for trouble.

A note about our travels : In our world touring that we do we are often asked by
fellow travelers about what we consider to be the safest places for a vacation
and really there is no definitive answer.

When we travel in groups during our organized tours we often get an unrealistic
feel for the country we are visiting because all of us are moving about the
attractions together in a large group and often with a guide. On the other hand
when we are doing backpacking or more rustic camping or Eco-trekking we are
often alone or traveling in small groups with our possessions and supplies on
our backs and we can feel a bit more vulnerable.






Also, as a woman, when I am alone and traveling I often am up against a
different perception from the natives of the country I am visiting and must
sometimes be extra careful when traveling alone. There are definitely some
countries that are not safe for women traveling alone but mostly a single female
vacationing must have a certain level of confidence.



Not all places I have visited have opened their arms to me as a voyager but
after twenty years of wandering this lonely planet I can say that more often
than not I have met some incredible people and seen some of the most
breathtaking sights in the world and by all means have tasted the finest
international foods and done some of the most physically demanding and
spiritually challenging things ever! As a solo-traveler by nature I have spent
years off the beaten path and staying in the best hotels all around the world
and have seen my share of the good, the bad and the ugly as far as tour
operators and even travel companions.




THE WORLD’S SAFEST TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

The choices for travelers in 2023 is huge and there are full package holiday
vacations available for every budget. While I often prefer to pack the car and
just start my trip with an adventure filled drive to the nearest airport and
then decide upon arrival where my heart guides me there are times when planning
ahead can be the smartest move. I have been on the move for many years and my
list of the top vacation countries in the world is here presented in no
particular order. My concern, as a single women, is finding the safest vacations
and the safest places to travel in the world. Below I have compiled the list of
what I consider to be the best destinations especially for a single woman or for
anyone concerned about having a safe vacation.

Hawaii
My vacation to Hawaii was simply incredible for so many reasons! While I have
traveled safely all over the world I found that my visit to the Hawaiian islands
was idyllic due to the friendly residents and simplicity of the accommodations.
While I arrived in my vacation to the six islands including Maui and Kauai which
is the oldest and northernmost island in the Island chain which is graced with
dramatic, natural beauty including volcanoes and lava caves and incredible scuba
sites. I was literally floored by the outdoor adventures and romantic escapades
that flourish on the island of Kauai. More on Hawaii | Safe Hotels in Hawaii



Iceland
My travels to Iceland were one of my fondest travel memories. The idea of
visiting Iceland had always appealed to me and since it was a country I’d often
heard about how safe it was to visit especially for a single woman traveling
alone. Iceland has the history of the Vikings still pulsing in the hearts of the
residents. Visiting Reykjavik means you will see a village friendly town full of
striking contrasts where eccentric tiny corrugated iron houses cuddle in the
arms of futuristic glass and steel buildings. Modern amenities are only minutes
away from the rugged black volcanic terrain. More on Iceland | Safe Hotels in
Iceland

Australia
I always plan to stay at least three full weeks when I go down under to
Australia. My most memorable was when I stayed for 6 months and worked in
Queensland and I suggest that if you want to really immerse your spirit deeply
into this magnificent country then you have to
plan to stay as long as possible. Travel in Australia definitely has it all from
warm sandy beaches, arid huge colossal desserts and the dramatic Australian
National Parks with their awesome and often unbelievable collections of birds,
flowers and exotic animals like the ever present kangaroos, the dear koalas and
an amazing array of birds.
Safe Hotels in Australia

Singapore
Although Singapore is definitely one very safe and very clean don’t let the
small size or urban development of the country dissuade you from visiting this
South East Asian jewel of a country. The strict nature of the society is feeling
some pressure to relax a bit the laws that have given Singapore a reputation as
a very prosperous but antiseptic and almost repressive city. While I am not a
big fan of skyscrapers and Singapore is mainly urban areas there are some
wonderful zoos and the polite people of the country and their peaceful attitude
make it a place I may return to. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve houses the country’s
primary rain forest within its boundaries. I enjoy more adventure and Sungei
Buluh Nature Park is one of the better spots I found for trekking.
Safe Hotels in Singapore



Ireland
Because of my love for literature and beer I have always loved visiting Ireland
and found it to be safe and friendly. The small size of the green island is
perfect for a caravan travel or a biking tour of Ireland and I’ve done them
both. The country is rich with history
and folklore and while it may not be the warmest spot I’ve ever camped in the
evenings with the locals around the fire will always be remembered. I prefer to
go in the warmest months of Summer when I travel to Ireland.
Safe Hotels in Ireland

Austria
I have to admit that when I am going to Austria, no matter what time of year,
I’ve even spent my winter vacation in snowy Austria and there is not many places
that can match the beauty of this place. Definitely a safe place to visit,
Austria has bi far some of the most incredulous and sometimes over-blown
architecture anywhere in Europe, it is royal and almost over the top! The awe
inspiring Alps are perfect for my ski trips and when I’m visiting in summer I
can’t help see a field of flowers against a backdrop of snow covered mountains
and want to sing The Sound of Music. The rich heritage of music including Mozart
is literally breathing in the streets of Vienna and the heritage of buildings
mixed with the friendly people make this one of my favorite travel destinations.
Safe Hotels in Austria

Canada
Because I am actually born and raised in Canada I have a certain love of the
country. Having traveled throughout the North-West Territories, British
Columbia, Newfoundland and Nunavut I have come to know and love the country as
one of the safest places to visit and live in the World. The natural beauty of
this huge country are unmatched with mountains, oceans, prairies, huge forests
and some of the friendliest people anywhere. The rich multi-cultural heritage
means that the variety of festivals, events and opportunities to enjoy the
natural parks and camping and canoes in Canada are why it is one of the largest
playgrounds on Earth. More on Canada | Safe Hotels in Canada



Sweden
My visit to Sweden was one of the most memorable European vacations destinations
I have ever shared. I was captivated by the west coast city of Gothenburg with
the haunting and intoxicating maritime sights and sounds and scrumptious
Michelin Star rated restaurants! As a North American tourist I just had to do a
cosmopolitan activity like visit Sweden’s largest amusement park in Liseberg.
Stockholm, Sweden’s capital and thoroughly magical city, is built on 14 islands
that are crisscrossed by a series of bridges. One bridge took me to the trendy
Södermalm island, with a rich live music scene and hip night clubs for the
almost too-trendy residents! But for those inclined on traditional and classical
fare Sweden has a rich mixture of medieval and modern architecture and because
of the Northern latitudes the summers are short and bright and the winters are
crisp and perfect for skiing. I particularly loved Stockholm, Gothenburg and
Malmö with their historical sites and lovely park lands.
Safe Hotels in Sweden

Netherlands
The Netherlands are one of the safest places for a vacation and while I had
heard stories mainly revolving around some of the cliches of windmills and
Amsterdam with her decadent lifestyle I stayed off the beaten track and found a
beautiful country of incredibly pristine sandy beaches, peaceful meandering
canals, windmills (naturally) and found that most of the country was relatively
untouched by the International tourism footprint! Amsterdam on the
other hand was overwhelming for me with this city being the major tourist
destination with curiosity seekers who come to savor the sin and sensuality of
this cosmopolitan city. The Netherlands is mainly flat land and was perfect for
biking and trekking, which are an integral part of the national spirit of the
Netherlands.

My favorite cities in Holland were Den Haag, Utrecht and Limburg but I most
enjoyed the camping in the secluded wilderness of the backpackers paradise
available in the Netherlands.
Safe Hotels in The Netherlands

Czech Republic
The oppulance of the Czech country is simply mesmerizing and being one of the
safest countries in Europe (and one of the least expensive) makes me recommended
this as a vacation destination. Beyond Prague the central Bohemian landscape
awaits and an incredibly large recreation
tract fills the southern region of Prague along the Vltava and Sázava rivers. As
a backpacker in Czech I found I wasn’t alone and met other hikers and canoeing
and kayaking enthusiasts. In the Southern Bohemia region the castles, chateaux
and crystal clear lakes took me back through time and the nature of southern
forests in Bohemia is extremely diverse.



Awesome peat-bogs surrounded with lush forests and rolling green meadows,lead
and run along the harsher mountain landscapes in this sweet region nearly
untouched by modern civilization. I loved Šumava, which is known as the “green
roof“ of Europe and features wooded mountain range along the south-western
border of the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. Huge parts of this region,
including the peat-bogs, glacial lakes and the remnants of primeval forests,
were proclaimed the National park of Šumava.
Safe Hotels in Czech Republic

Tahiti/Polynesia
The beauty of the Tahitian Islands is unmatched and I can still see the
thatched-roof bungalows we slept in that were perched above the deep turquoise
lagoon waters. One of my safest travel destinations, especially when I travelled
alone exploring the deep lagoons filled with tropical fish made this one of the
best solo snorkling vacation trips I have ever gone on. I have seen no better
way to find a sense of everyday Tahitian life and experience the culture of
French Polynesia, than when I was passing through the small villages on a
circle-island tour of the region. Read More on Tahiti | Safe Hotels in Tahiti

Germany
My first German vacation was more as a journalist visiting the fall of the
Berlin Wall in ’89 and so that doesn’t officially count as a single girl
traveling in Germany. It was in 2003 that I decided to return to Germany and
while many friends in travel forums talked about safety for a woman in Germany I
decided that my training and self confidence made it possible to take the train
throughout the country with no distractions and I really enjoyed the country on
my vacation in Germany.

I started my last travel adventure in Hamburg which is Germany’s second-largest
city. Its superb merchants’ houses and incredible promenades, international
musicals, modern shopping malls and St. Pauli district give Hamburg a truly
cosmopolitan feel. Read More on Germany | Safe Hotels in Germany

Japan
Traveling to Japan was one of the most memorable vacations I have ever taken;
the incredibly rich history of the Japanese people and the beauty of their small
country was completely breathtaking and such a stimulus for my senses. The
people of Japan are very polite and show a respect and friendly generosity that
I have rarely seen in other countries. I started in Tokyo, the chaotic yet clean
super-city that defines the progress and peace that is new Japan. We visited
Ikebukuro, Asakusa and Shinjuku in our first two days in Tokyo. We felt
completely safe wherever we went and were out light at night and when I was
alone walking back to the hotel I felt completely safe as a single woman.



I felt just as safe in our travels to Gifu City where we visited the Gifu Castle
and experienced the traditional cormorant fishing on the Nagara River. Our next
Japanese cities were Matsue where we saw the Matsue Castle, the only remaining
castle tower in the San-in Region (the Japan Sea Coast) and the intriguing black
wooden fence house. More on Japan | Safe Hotels in Japan
