Safest country in the world for British tourists – full list of countries | Travel News | Travel
US travel insurance company, Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection, found the safest countries in the world to travel to. Many of the top 15 are in Europe.
In first place, as the safest destination for British tourists, was the Netherlands, just a short hop from the UK.
The majority of tourists head straight to Amsterdam to explore its cultural attractions such as the Rijksmuseum, home to paintings by Van Gogh and Rembrandt, or to experience its varied nightlife.
A tourist who visited the Rijksmusuem wrote on Tripadvisor: “Outside the sheer majesty of the building is impressive.
“Inside, be prepared to be blown away by gallery after gallery, floor after floor of art, culture and history. Jaw dropping.”
