Dubrovnik is Europe’s safest city, according to a new survey by the Riviera Travel travel agency, which revealed its classification with the safest cities in Epirus.

Although factors such as activities, weather and budget usually shape holiday parameters, safety is also a vital factor in booking the next escape, the Euronews notes.

Knowing that you are in a relatively safe city, you can relax and enjoy your vacation much easier.

The safer destination index evaluates European cities based on both the increase in crime in the last five years and the current level of crime for a combined safety rating.

The lowest number indicates the safest destination, based on the lower level of crime.

“These findings confirm that Europe offers excellent culture and beauty, as well as unmatched security. From Dubrovnik’s medieval charm to Prague’s incredible horizon with the turrets and the picturesque beauty of Zurich, Europe’s safest destinations allow you to wander freely and calmly, “Joanne Lynn told Euronews Travel.

“While our findings rank these cities as the safest in Europe, it is important to take precautions and be alert when visiting new destinations,” he added.

Which cities are the safest in Europe

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, one of the most popular cities in Croatia, is also the safest, according to the Riviera Travel, with a total safety rating of 44.1. The city, described as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its well -preserved fortified old town and its excellent medieval architecture.

Although one of the leading party destinations in Epirus, the current level of crime is considered very low.

Dubrovnik has cultivated a very strong sense of community, according to Lonely Planet. It is particularly welcoming to tourists, while protecting residents, creating a safe environment for visitors.

Violent crimes are rare, although incidents such as wallet theft can occur, along with casual taxi fraud.

Talline

Tallinn took second place in the Safe Destination Index, with a total of 55.8 security scores and very low current levels of crime. The city is one of the safest capitals in northern Europe.

The Old Town is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it is an extremely well -preserved example of a medieval commercial city in northern Europe. Many locals, especially those who work in the field of services and tourism, speak English comfortably, which makes it easier for tourists to seek help if needed.

Taxi applications such as Bolt offer “women for women” services, which allow female passengers to seek special transport from female drivers.

Extremely effective public services and the Estonian e -government system also promote security, while ensuring that access to services and internet information is usually quite easy.

Warsaw

Warsaw took third place in the index, with a total safety score of 60.2. Although the city has seen a moderate increase in crime over the last five years, it still has a very low current level.

Significant post -war reconstruction and elegant modern neighborhoods have attracted hordes of visitors who want to explore them.

The abundant presence of the Municipal Police, as well as the well -enlightened public spaces, have contributed to travelers to feel safe even when they walk in Warsaw at night, according to Travel Ladies.

Increased household income and economic growth, along with a decrease in unemployment in Poland, have also reduced crime levels, according to Statista.

Prague, Krakow and Amsterdam follow in the fourth, fifth and sixth place respectively.
