Canada is rated the safest travel destination in 2024, moving from sixth in 2023. It topped the safety rankings for transportation, absence of violent crime, health measures, and safety for women, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC.

The ranking is part of Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection’s Safest Destinations report, which relies on surveys, the Global Peace Index, the State Department’s travel safety ratings, and GeoSure Global scores.

The company defined a safe place free from terrorism, disease outbreaks, discrimination, and harassment. They attributed Canada's top rank to its cold weather and low population density but warned of natural disasters like wildfires and avalanches.

Despite this, reviews were largely positive. Switzerland ranked second, followed by Norway, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
