This summer, the effects of overtourism were hard to ignore, from social media images of Greek islands choked with visitors to Barcelona's high-profile protests. But there’s good news for travelers looking to shrink their environmental footprint and make a positive impact on the communities they visit: This year's ranking of the world’s most sustainable travel destinations has just been released.

Despite recent volcanic eruptions, Iceland continues to be one of the world's safest countries to visit, according to Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection's (BHTP) State of Travel Insurance Safest Destinations report.
Europe as a whole was also a big winner, based on this year's report.
BHTP also analyzed the world’s safest cities, with Reykjavik, Copenhagen and Amsterdam emerging on top for 2025.
For the past decade, BHTP has been surveying American travelers who have ventured abroad on their attitudes toward travel safety to determine the safest places to visit.

Top 15 Safest Cities for 2025
"After years of conducting this research, patterns have emerged and certain countries and cities, like Switzerland and Singapore, have become mainstays in the top 10 Safest Destinations," Carol Mueller, Head of Marketing, BHTP, said in a statement. "However, no matter how highly a destination’s safety may be ranked, we always emphasize the importance of purchasing travel insurance ahead of your vacations and choosing the right policy to protect your trip."
Honolulu experienced a mighty fall in 2025, slipping from the top spot to 13th to open the door for Reykjavik to reclaim the number one spot in BHTP's city rankings.
