Greece among the safest countries in Europe | And the most dangerous

Greece is among the safest countries in Europe to travel, with Iceland being the safest in the Travel Safety Index for 2024, published by HelloSafe.

In particular, our country is in 35th place out of 37 countries, with an index of 36.56, below Albania, which is four places higher in 31st place.

According to the index, Iceland is currently the safest country in Europe, with a score of 18.23 points out of 100, and in the world, with a score of 18.23 points out of 100.

Europe, the safest continent

Admittedly, Europe is the safest continent for travellers from all over the world. Iceland is at the top and Denmark (20.05 points), Austria (20.31 points), Switzerland (20.51 points) and the Czech Republic (21.19 points) complete the top five.

European countries occupy 30 of the 50 safest places in the world, including Switzerland (5th in the world and 4th in Europe, with an index of 20.51), the Netherlands (20th and 17th, index 26.22) and Belgium (31st and 24th, index 28.31).

However, particularly noteworthy is France’s poor ranking, only 80th in the world and 34th in Europe, with an index of 36 points. This position can be explained in particular by the terrorist threat, which is still largely present in the country. At the bottom of the ranking are Ukraine and Russia, undermined by the conflict that has raged between the two countries since 2022.

Meanwhile, 12 of the 15 safest country in the world to travel to are in Europe, including Switzerland (5th safest country in the world with an index of 20.51 points).

The safest country in the world is Iceland, followed by Singapore (19.99 points) and Denmark (20.05 points).

Bhutan (22.98 points) and Qatar (23.33 points) are also in the top 15, making them very safe destinations for travelers.

In contrast, the Philippines, Colombia and Mexico are the three least safe countries in the world in 2024. The Philippines tops the list with an index of 82.32 out of 100 points, followed by Colombia (79.21 points) and Mexico (78.42 points), three countries with a high level of violence in their societies.

The 15 least safe countries in the world include many conflict areas, both old and new, which are often combined with high natural hazards.
