Safest Countries for Women to Visit in 2022

Iceland

Iceland has been leading the Global Peace Index for 12 years, being officially the world's safest country for over a decade. And we should say, that's a well-deserved reputation.

Finland

According to World Economic Forum, Finland can be proud of its leading position in the list of the safest tourist countries. Indeed, crime in Finland is almost non-existent. And as a solo female traveler, you don't need to worry when asking for direction from a stranger.

Portugal

Portugal is extremely popular among solo women travelers for its beauty and safety. You can move around using public transport absolutely trouble-free. Or stroll through little towns all by yourself without feeling watched.

Austria

Most international tourists visit Austria to explore vibrant cities like Vienna and get lost in the hills and mountains. When you first meet Austrians, they may seem unbiased. But the reality is that locals are very friendly with travelers.

According to OECD data, 91% of people say that they feel safe when they go by themselves at night. And it's not surprising because the whole country is like one big village. The crime rates in Slovenia are low.

Japan

Japan is a safe country where you can leave your bag unattended, and nobody would steal it. It's so safe there that Japanese mums send their three-year-old kids to the grocery all alone.

Mauritius

Mauritius is a fantastic island that offers a friendly environment to its visitors. Female solo travelers love to go there. Mauritius has abundant activities and being one of the safest countries for women, you can enjoy your time trouble-free.

To Sum Up

There are 195 countries worldwide, but not all of them are safe for solo female travelers. Or, to be honest, to travelers in general. At Nomad Capitalist, we always say, "go where you're treated best". So, just be open to new experiences, and good luck with your new adventure.
