Express.co.uk has provided information about the safest countries in the world.

Japan: A country with a high level of economy is sure to amaze you. You can experience a plethora of emotions, especially after acquainting yourself with Japan's national cuisine. Japanese traditional cuisine is influenced by the climate, fauna, and flora of the Japanese islands. The high humidity ensures an abundance of plant and animal food, while the island location provides an ample supply of seafood. The natural landmarks will captivate any aesthete.

Switzerland: This country is one of the wealthiest in the world and also one of the safest, making it ideal for solo travel. Switzerland's landscape is diverse, thanks to its mountains and three topographical zones where the country is situated. The presence of developed tourist infrastructure, railway and road networks, combined with picturesque nature and advantageous geographical location, attracts a significant number of tourists to the country.

Slovenia: Slovenia is a relatively quiet and peaceful country. Therefore, if you're looking for relaxation in the lap of nature, this choice is perfect for you. Additionally, Slovenia has a well-developed network of ski resorts and beaches. This means that depending on your preferred type of vacation, you will be able to find something that suits you.

Croatia: The Adriatic coast of Croatia and its numerous islands are a popular international tourist destination. Moreover, yachting holds great importance for the tourism industry in Croatia. The country has organized and cultivated yacht charter infrastructure, with hundreds of marinas. On a national level, qualified yacht training is practiced, followed by a state examination and the issuance of international qualification documents.

Iceland: Despite a relatively cold climate for Europeans, tourists still eagerly visit Iceland to enjoy the landscapes of the coasts, fjords, and volcanoes. Iceland is also known for its geysers, including Geysir, which gave rise to the word "geyser" in Ukrainian and many other languages. The famous Strokkur, which erupts every 5-10 minutes, is also noteworthy.

South Korea: Despite rapid urbanization and the fast-paced development of cities, South Korea remains a country with a fairly mountainous terrain. So, if you're not interested in the country's industrialization, you can enjoy the coastal and mountainous landscapes. It is bordered by the East Sea to the east, the Yellow Sea to the west, and the East China Sea to the south. Korea is a mountainous country, with flat and hilly plains accounting for about 25% of its territory.

Denmark: Denmark boasts magnificent ancient architectural heritage, including palaces and castles. Some must-visit places include the palaces of Amalienborg, Odense, Frederiksborg, and Christiansborg, as well as Rosenborg Castle and Egeskov Castle. The Royal Library of Denmark and Aggersborg fortress are also noteworthy.

Finland: Tourism plays a crucial role in Finland's economy. The country, primarily in Lapland, has developed winter tourism, offering downhill skiing and snowboarding, snowmobile rides, dog sledding, and reindeer sleigh rides. One of the largest ski resorts in the country is Ruka, near Kuusamo, which hosts international competitions in ski jumping, skiing races, and Nordic combined.

Austria: Austria is an enticing tourist destination, thanks to its snowy slopes in the Alps, well-developed infrastructure, and its geographical location at the crossroads of major highways. The country attracts a large number of transit tourists, with the majority heading to the Mediterranean coast.

Ski resorts in the mountains are one of the most lucrative sectors in the economy. The majority of travelers come from Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Netherlands: The Netherlands is often associated with windmills, tulips, wooden clogs called klompen, exquisite porcelain, and legalized cannabis. These factors are what attract tourists. Traditional Dutch cuisine is abundant in fish dishes, including fresh herring prepared and cleaned in a special way. Soups are popular in the Netherlands, and no weekday dinner or weekend lunch is complete without them.
