In addition to amazing scenery and nature Iceland is also the safest country in the world. Iceland tops the 2018 Peace Index, compiled by the Institute for Economics and Peace. The Travel Magazine Condé Nast argues this makes Iceland the top destination for anyone planning a visit to a safe country: What more incentive do you need to jump in a thermal bath already? Condé Nast asks its readers.
Other countries on the top 10 list are New Zealand in second place, Austria in third place, Portugal in fourth spot, Denmark in fifth place, Canada in sixth, Czech Republic in seventh, Singapore in eight, Japan in ninth and Ireland, in tenth place.
The Global Peace Index ranks 163 independent states and territories according to their level of peacefulness, using 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators to measure the state of peace. The indicators are grouped in three domains, the level of Societal Safety and Security, the extent of Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict and the degree of Militarization.
Iceland, of course, has no military, very few homicides, no terrorism, zero gun crime and is not involved in any military disputes.
