Insurer names 15 safest cities in the world for travel in 2027

The insurance company Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection has published a ranking of 15 cities that travellers consider the safest in the world for trips in 2027. It can be useful when planning journeys for next year. The study looked at 38 popular international destinations favoured by travellers.

How the ranking was built

To gather data, the company surveyed more than 1,500 people who had visited all 38 cities included in the study. The travellers rated the safety of these places against a range of criteria. The survey results were then combined with safety indices produced by Numbeo and the magazine The Economist, as well as with city ratings from GeoSure Global.

The company's caveat

The company notes that the study's assessment may no longer match the security situation as it is right at this moment. The ranking therefore gives a general picture rather than the state of safety in each city on a particular day.

The available part of the source does not say which city was named the safest overall, and it does not give the full list of 15 cities. All that is known is that the ranking was compiled for travel in 2027 and rests on both travellers' experience and several international safety measures.
