Top 15 Safest Countries to Travel in 2025, based on the Global Peace Index (GPI)

The Global Peace Index (GPI), published annually by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), ranks 163 countries and territories on their level of peacefulness using 23 indicators across three domains: Societal Safety and Security, Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict, and Militarization. Lower scores indicate higher peacefulness, making these countries ideal for safe travel.

The 2025 GPI shows a slight global decline in peacefulness (0.36% deterioration), but the top-ranked nations remain stable and resilient, with Europe dominating the list.
