number 10 stockholm
sweden's capital is one of europe's most stunning cities it's been standing on the country's east
coast for centuries and even features in some famous norse sagas but you don't have to worry
about encountering any dangerous dragons in the city today or any dangers at all for that matter
because stockholm is extremely safe for residents and tourists alike though any obvious tourists
should still be wary of pickpockets and petty thieves just like in any major city stockholm's
violent crime rate is exceptionally low this means you can take in the sights and scenery
without worrying too much even at night everywhere is so well lit that you can explore in safety
number nine melbourne one of australia's largest cities melbourne attracts tourists and students
from across the country and the rest of the world it's always been rated very highly for
safety in recent years and most visitors will get along just fine with the friendly locals
just remember when visiting not to stray too far off the beaten path as with most cities even the
safest some areas might put you at more risk unless you really know what you're doing and
where you're going you should stick to the places
that see the most visitor friendly foot traffic to ensure your stay goes smoothly
number eight hong kong this one is tricky it's safe for visitors but not for residents who want
democracy hong kong has a long history of movies about violence organized crime but
while internal affairs and chunking express are outstanding films they might give you the idea
that hong kong is an extremely dangerous city in truth hong kong is incredibly safe and you
shouldn't be deterred from visiting since it's so popular with tourists you're always going to
find people trying to scam you but if you keep your wits about you and learn a little cantonese
you'll have a in a lifetime trip and while you're there you've got to make time to visit the peak
as the island's tallest hill you have an incomparable view of this incredible metropolis
number seven wellington new zealand's capital isn't the country's most popular destination by
a mile but like most of new zealand wellington is safe and a pleasure to visit no matter the time of
year though it does have a reputation for being windy and is prone to earthquakes earthquakes
won't usually cause much havoc nowadays but it's still a danger any tourists should be aware of but
other than that wellington is renowned for being friendly and is definitely worth the long flight
to reach it from most parts of the world while there be sure to visit the celebrated wellington
museum and wellington zoo the latter of which boasts unique animals like hyenas and capybaras
number six amsterdam even amsterdam's most notorious area the red light district
is going to be safe for any tourists who decide to visit in fact though you
might assume it has a seedy reputation it's actually one of the safest parts of the city
but the rest of amsterdam is plenty safe as well with well-lit open
streets and incredibly friendly dutch people to help you out if you need it
you can visit the city's many museums and see the stunning canals and almost total safety and
though it's recently fallen out of first place for many years it was actually the safest city on the
entire european continent there's no reason not to visit this exceptionally open and welcoming city
number five tokyo it's one of the busiest most densely populated cities on earth but
the biggest danger is almost certainly getting lost trying to see everything tokyo has to offer
japan is famous for its high-tech public transport but trains are often crowded and shinjuku station
is mind-bending to navigate thanks to its business regardless tokyo remains a popular and welcoming
destination for tourists and you don't have to travel far to find delicious sake sushi and
ramen you'll definitely want to head to kabukicho first of all a prime destination for visitors and
locals which is open late and extremely safe as always though be aware of scams and pickpockets
number four sydney it's not the capital but sydney is definitely australia's most famous city and
has long been popular with tourists desperate to take a picture in front of the opera house

going to be in much danger in most of sydney beyond the opera house some of
the best things to do in sydney include the famous dolphin marine park where you can
see some of the most fascinating animals on the planet or the museum of contemporary art
just ensure you know where you're going and you're not getting lost after dark

is one of the few and it's also an absolute dream to visit located in southeast asia it's home to
over 5.5 million people and entertains millions more tourists each year the city merges cultural
influences from all over asia making it an amazing mixing pot of different people and food and is
statistically the safest city in the continent while there be sure to try as many local dishes
as possible to really get a taste of the food seen as well as heading to popular attractions
like the zoo and grove of gardens just be sure you know what rules you need to follow while visiting
number 2 toronto canadians reputation for politeness certainly precedes them and it's
often the first thing that springs to mind when foreigners talk about the great white north that's
what makes canada's most famous city toronto such a desirable place to visit even at night toronto
