The highly anticipated annual Risk Map by Safeture and Riskline has been released. It reveals the riskiest and safest travel destinations for 2025.

It highlights which countries face negligible, low, medium, high, and critical levels of risk.

Nevertheless, many European destinations remain among the safest countries for 2025. Here are the top 5 outside of Europe:
