Iceland has been highlighted as the safest destination for solo travelers in a recent Daily Motivation News article . Known for its stunning natural beauty—waterfalls, hot springs, and vast, rugged landscapes—the country also boasts a reputation for exceptional peace and safety.

According to the article, Iceland has topped the Global Peace Index for 17 consecutive years, with the lowest rates of violent crime in the world. Travelers report feeling comfortable exploring the country even at night, including solo excursions to see the Northern Lights.

Denmark and Slovenia follow Iceland in second and third place, respectively. Other countries ranked for safety include Portugal, Switzerland, and Croatia. Surprisingly, the rest of the Nordic nations do not appear on this particular list.
