Iceland
Iceland has been ranked the safest country in the world by the Global Peace Index for the past 14 years, with many tourists praising the locals and Icelandic hospitality.
There are many reasons for the country's high safety score and dominance of the Global Peace Index's list, such as Iceland's small size and population.
Ireland
Although the locals have a slight reputation for being tough on new residents, Ireland has a fantastic combination of safety and a welcoming attitude toward travelers.
Whether you enjoy cities or exploring the countryside, Ireland is an incredibly safe place to rent a car, with Europe's third lowest rate of road deaths.
Denmark
Ranked second on both the most recent World Peace Index and the World Happiness Report, Denmark excels in relaxing and finding fulfillment in everyday moments.
The local people may be less likely to go out of their way to interact with a stranger; however, you can walk the streets or countryside with little safety concerns.
