Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection has released its Safest Countries Report for 2025, ranking destinations based on criteria such as crime rates, healthcare quality, and emergency response capabilities. This report serves as a guide for travellers seeking secure and welcoming environments. Here are the countries that have topped the list as the safest to explore in the upcoming year.

Iceland Tops 2025 Safest Countries List

Iceland ranks first in the 2025 Safest Countries list, jumping from ninth place last year. Its solitary major road and minimal traffic make accidents rare. Tourists enjoy a sense of safety despite the looming threat of volcanic eruptions, a common occurrence on this volcanic island.

While Icelanders maintain a relaxed attitude toward volcanic activity, adventurers are advised to stay informed. Iceland’s short “shoulder season” between winter and summer provides a brief window for milder weather, creating a unique time to explore.

Australia Jumps to Second Place

Australia moves up to second place in 2025 from its tenth spot last year. The country’s remote location and low crime rates make it a safe destination for explorers.

Though, the wildlife—from jellyfish to crocodiles, snakes, and sharks—can pose risks. Experts recommend using common sense while navigating Australia’s cities and coasts. A bit of preparation goes a long way in this vast, wild land.

Canada Falls to Third

Canada drops from its top position last year to third place in the 2025 list. Its low population density contributes to its overall safety, with fewer incidents of crime in rural areas.

Tourists need to be alert to the local wildlife, particularly when driving the Trans-Canada Highway, where encounters with deer, elk, or moose can be dangerous. Careful planning is advised when visiting either western or eastern regions of this expansive country.

Ireland Holds Fourth Place

Ireland retains its fourth spot on the 2025 Safest Countries list. Known for its friendly population and few major cities, Ireland is generally safe for journeyers.

Narrow roads and unfamiliar driving conditions may present challenges, especially for travellers from countries with different traffic rules. A good map and raincoat are essential for those opting to venture into the countryside on their own.

Switzerland Drops to Fifth

Switzerland falls from second to fifth place in the 2025 ranking. While its cities like Basel, Bern, and Zurich maintain high safety standards, vacationers must exercise caution in Alpine regions.

The melting of glaciers has increased the risk of avalanches, landslides, and floods, especially during the winter and off-peak seasons. Visitors are reminded to be vigilant when exploring Switzerland’s mountainous terrain.

New Zealand Ranks Sixth

New Zealand moves up from eleventh to sixth place this year, benefiting from its geographic isolation. The lack of casual visitors helps keep crime rates low.

However, strict customs regulations require holidaymakers to declare items like honey and seeds upon arrival, or risk hefty fines. With diverse climates and reversed seasons compared to the Northern Hemisphere, visitors need to plan accordingly for a safe, enjoyable trip.

Germany Rises to Seventh

Germany makes a notable jump from eighteenth to seventh place in 2025. The country’s efficient management of tourism and safety protocols contribute to its high ranking. Tourists can enjoy a sense of security, particularly in Germany’s well-organized cities and peaceful countryside.

For a hassle-free experience, visitors must familiarize themselves with local laws, particularly those that restrict items linked to the nation’s Nazi past.

Norway Slips to Eighth

Norway drops from third to eighth in 2025 but remains a safe destination, with Oslo recognized as one of Europe’s safest capitals. The northern region, particularly Svalbard, has become a popular tourist destination but comes with risks.

Visitors to Svalbard should take note of limited healthcare and transportation options, and evacuations in case of emergencies can be costly. Packing for varying weather conditions is a must when visiting this diverse landscape.

Japan Moves to Ninth

Japan climbs from twelfth to ninth on the list, standing out as a densely populated yet safe country. While the country boasts one of the world’s lowest homicide rates, tourists are encouraged to exercise caution about drug laws.

The Japanese government enforces strict regulations on marijuana, with severe penalties for possession. On the bright side, increased English proficiency in urban areas has made navigating Japan easier for tourists.

Denmark Remains Tenth

Denmark holds steady in tenth place for 2025. The country’s peaceful and contented spirit, known as “hygge,” makes it a welcoming destination for visitors.

Safety concerns are few, with traffic rules such as no right turns on red posing minor inconveniences. Travellers are encouraged to carry some local currency, especially if they plan to travel across Scandinavia.
