Travel recommendations for American tourists, the safest countries are marked in blue

[u/petika654]

[u/GamerBoixX]

I'm Mexican, I live in Mexico, and I've only been robbed once in my life, it was in France, was attempted to be robbed other 2 times, once in NY and the other in the UK

[u/brazenrede → u/GamerBoixX]

Depends on what the attacker considers an easy target.

In my experience, some stupid people genuinely think everyone in a country have similar characteristics, and if they look down on the country, they can look down on the individual.

Not a lot of subtlety, or careful thought, in average street criminals.

[u/GamerBoixX → u/brazenrede]

I guess they saw a tourist lost alone at night and decided I was an easy target

First one in NY was a drug addict, probably on something, after telling him no and giving them 5 bucks he went away

Second in the UK was a young masked guy with a knife, when he pulled the knife I honestly laughed because till then I thought it was a cartoonish stereotype that people actually threatened others with knives instead of guns, after laughing him off he got nervous and got away

Third and only successful one was in france, a guy looking at his phone approached me, bumped on me "by accident", 3 min later I noticed I no longer had my wallet in my pocket

[u/Person012345 → u/GamerBoixX]

God that second one is such a british mugging story.

[u/Successful-Sand686 → u/Person012345]

Ya call that a knife? This is my smith and Wesson

[u/Otherwise-Scratch617 → u/Person012345]

Such a real story too

[u/Faesarn → u/GamerBoixX]

Sorry it happened to you mate. I'm french and always hate that people in my country steal from tourist (and locals ofc). Unfortunately Paris is one of (if not the) most visited country in the world and it attracts all kind of people. Every time I go there, like near the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower, I see policemen chasing street vendors and scammers (the one with a ball and 3 glasses).. and 5 minutes later they're back.

[u/GamerBoixX → u/Faesarn]

From my experience, Paris was pretty great, the usual scammers and vendors that appear in every major european city were there but they werent a big problem if you knew their game, I was robbed in Nice, which would have been great otherwise

[u/Additional-Finance67 → u/GamerBoixX]

Not so Nice

[u/brazenrede → u/GamerBoixX]

I’m sorry that happened to you.

[u/OnasoapboX41 → u/GamerBoixX]

My aunt got robbed in France too. A woman accidentally hooked her umbrella to my aunt's straps of her purse in the metro. As she unhooked it, she stole her wallet from her purse.

[u/Clemdauphin → u/OnasoapboX41]

that usual pickpocket tactics. some time they even operate in groups. one distract you and the other empty your bags.

[u/galwegian → u/GamerBoixX]

Finesse is a French word. Laughing at the idea of a UK criminal’s knife being laughed at by a Mexican. Well done.

[u/fbi-surveillance-bot → u/GamerBoixX]

When you are a tourist you are probably more likely to be targeted than in your own country

[u/bootylickinghopeful → u/GamerBoixX]

I’m visiting Mexico City and made some new friends and their car tire got shot up and the driver stabbed because he ran over some cone from one of those parking flag ladies in Roma

[u/GamerBoixX → u/bootylickinghopeful]

Yeah, from my experience in some parts of the country you are more likely to get shot/attacked on purpose or by accident for the sole sake of it than actually being robbed

[u/WillBozz → u/GamerBoixX]

as a Mexican I have many friends who had the same experience in France and Italy.

[u/GamerBoixX → u/WillBozz]

Yeah it's very fcking weird because here you'd expect a situation like that too be a guy pointing a gun at you or at least to be a group surrounding you, but no, its just a person having an "accident" and somehow dissappearing your wallet without you even knowing until later

[u/Head_Asparagus_7703 → u/GamerBoixX]

The US news makes a big deal about how unsafe Mexico is but just don't do something dumb (like look for drugs) and stick to the relatively safe parts like you would anywhere else. I visited ~6 months ago and had an amazing time. Probably top 3 of any countries I've visited. The only major downside for me was the air pollution from smog or the active volcano near Puebla.

[u/GamerBoixX → u/Head_Asparagus_7703]

Tbf half of the country is very unsafe and you shouldnt get near it, but if you dont go to that part (to which most tourist dont) and as a tourist you'll be pretty safe, in most tourist destinations robbers and muggers are almost non existant, and the narco evades those areas and never touches the tourists since they usually have agreements with the government

[u/Head_Asparagus_7703 → u/GamerBoixX]

Yeah, we stayed in Mexico City, Puebla, and Oaxaca and felt very safe. The number of police in Mexico City was a bit creepy but I think there was a huge free concert happening in the city center so they were all dressed up and practicing in riot gear (I assume that's not normal..)

[u/GamerBoixX → u/Head_Asparagus_7703]

Police here (at least those you see in the streets) are usually heavily armed since the realistic worst case scenario they can find is a shootout with the Narco, something that would be almost unthinkable for a police department almost elsewhere to deal with, but those are usually stationed at checkpoints throughout the city while more lightly armed, less intimidating police guard indoors, patrol and actually deal with petty criminals, yeah they increase the security for events like that, when some relevant criminal or drug package is caught or when protests occur, but at this point, at least in Mexico City, that is 1 out of every 3 days so I wouldnt call it much of a rare thing

[u/simplyyAL → u/GamerBoixX]

I have been all over the world (except Australia and North Pole) and have only once had a robbing attempt in Chicago 😂

[u/fazzonvr → u/GamerBoixX]

Funny, I lived in Germany and the Netherlands whole my life, and only got robbed once. On a vacation in Mexico.

[u/OkWish2221 → u/GamerBoixX]

Yo también soy de México, nunca me han robado, pero sí presencié 3 robos en un solo día en París.

[u/arwynj55 → u/GamerBoixX]

The UK is made of 4 countries, I'm betting you were in England when you were robbed.

[u/Free_Poem1617 → u/arwynj55]

In England (WY), a junky wanted my wallet, I told him don't you want to talk instead? We talked for an hour, I still have my wallet

[u/rakish_rhino → u/Free_Poem1617]

This is the way

[u/Hypatos_ → u/arwynj55]

Why do people use this framing for the UK? Four countries in the same way that Georgia is like 3/4 countries (autonomous areas still ruled by the actual country)? Or like USA is hundreds of countries because hundreds of "sovereign tribal nations" with their own languages and governments are contained within?

[u/Connect_Progress7862]

Moldova is safe?

[u/Profezzor-Darke → u/Connect_Progress7862]

Looks like a r/mapporncirclejerk post.

[u/fk_censors → u/Connect_Progress7862]

Yes, there's almost no violence against regular people. It's probably a little worse than in the safest European places because their Mafia is more violent (and the Russian Mafia operates there), but they usually just target other criminals and don't bother regular people. Moldova is also more volatile from a geopolitical point, because it has a separatist area and Russian troops and a Russian arsenal on its soil. But it's super safe for tourists, just like any other European country without a large Russian or non European immigrant population.

[u/SoupOrMan3 → u/Connect_Progress7862]

It’s not that bad, I’ve been there a couple of times, people are really chill and I’ve never felt unsafe.

[u/VaseaPost → u/Connect_Progress7862]

It's safer in Moldova than in the UK, that I can confirm because I've stayed in both recently.

[u/GreatDebate7839]

Pal, if you wanna travel to Russia, I'll I’ll meet you at the airport, man, you can literally stay with me for your entire vacation. We'll make borscht with you, go fishing. You look at the life of the province, at least something interesting will happen in my life... (Trust me, I'm not a KGB agent :)

[u/No_Machine_8001 → u/GreatDebate7839]

No offence to you of course, I know there are good normal people in Russia, but traveling to a country you are indirectly supporting its government–both economically and spritually (for the lack of a better word). Same reason I don't want to travel to North Korea or Iran. Also it's scary going to a country where you could be jailed for using the wrong words. But I genuinly hope to be able to travel there in the future :)

[u/rakish_rhino → u/No_Machine_8001]

Seconded

[u/pipo1992 → u/No_Machine_8001]

Following that logic you shouldn't go to USA and China as well.

[u/HourDistribution3787 → u/pipo1992]

[u/avidpenguinwatcher → u/GreatDebate7839]

[u/SuperNova13sp → u/GreatDebate7839]

man why is russia hated so much their people are so cool

[u/GreatDebate7839 → u/SuperNova13sp]

Dude, IDK, maybe the cause is our government's hostile attitude towards the whole fucking world. These guys tryin' to create an image of an external enemy and nothing more. Listen to "Politicians In My Eyes" by Death and many things will come clear)

[u/Poulbleu → u/SuperNova13sp]

l wonder

[u/propylhydride → u/Poulbleu]

Some war is no reason to hate the Russian population and collectively punish their society. I've seen maybe thousands of comments with thousands of likes each, saying all Russians are evil and shouldn't be alive, all since the war began. Editing a dead Russian soldier who was an 18 year old conscript to disparage him is a dick move.

[u/Character-Mix174 → u/propylhydride]

I'm honestly more concerned with the fact you visit places where you can find something like that than with the fact that it exists.

Because you present it as some widely accepted mainstream opinion, and it isn't. Not in the world, not in the west, not even in Ukraine

[u/propylhydride → u/Character-Mix174]

I don't "visit" those places. It was under quite normal tweets and news stories on Twitter at the start of the war. My Russian friend showed me the rest. (He does not support Putin and he doesn't live in Russia.)

[u/yes_thenakedman → u/propylhydride]

For most of the Slavic countries, like Portugal, Russians made it’s name waaaay before the war. The way how they tend to act with the superiority complex is awful. It can easily be a loud minority, but with some nationalities it just happens more often and they are one of them.

[u/Poulbleu → u/propylhydride]

Those comments are wrong but disliking a country waging war against your society seems reasonable to me

[u/Independent-Cup-6113 → u/propylhydride]

Generally the ”hate” towards the average russian stems from the average russians acceptance of the governments actions. Your average russian is not going to condemn their governments actions as long as they got bread on their table - as in, they do not care about others lifes as long as theirs is okay. The average russian is very imperialistic still.

[u/AutoModerator → u/Independent-Cup-6113]

[u/propylhydride → u/Independent-Cup-6113]

You seriously cannot be acting like Russians are the only people who don't condemn the actions of their government. I'm still waiting for an apology as an Afghan from the average American. They think they're heroes. Their military is filled with genocidal maniacs who have destabilized dozens of countries, committed genocides and massacres, and who serve under an institution that has launched at least 251 military interventions since 1991 alone. But the United States is above international law and condemnation. Furthermore, the average Russian doesn't criticize the government because he DOES get what he needs from the government. They are extremely detached from any wars their country participates in.

Would it be ok for him to dislike all Americans in general because of that?

Because a significant fraction of them believe Putin is a great guy and invading Ukraine is a necessary police action.

Sweden safer than Denmark?! I guess gunshot deaths don’t count…

[u/FlaviusStilicho → u/YallaBeanZ]

About four people gets murdered by way of firearms in Denmark each year. In Sweden it was 53 last year… if you normalise for population it would be 8 vs 53. In neighbouring Norway there were 11 which would be about 22 if you normalise for Sweden’s population size.

Sweden is much higher, but it’s still not high enough to be a real concern for tourists

[u/ValeteAria → u/FlaviusStilicho]

It definitely isnt. Unlike the US most firearm deaths in Sweden and Denmark are within the criminal circuit. A random tourist in Stockholm is not going to be the target. A drug dealer in a ghetto? More like it.

[u/Mixa3]

I get that Belarus and Russia are very 'dangerous' due to political reasons, but what did Germany and Belgium did to receive a careful rating?

[u/Haunting-Detail2025 → u/Mixa3]

It’s about terrorism. But to be clear, the state department doesn’t assign grades in the way many other countries do - it goes by relative rankings in some places. So if there’s an increased risk of terrorism in Sweden, it might get a level 2 (exercise increased caution) warning because they’re saying there’s a risk you may not think about, whereas a country that regularly is a little more dangerous might be at a level (exercise NORMAL precautions) because there’s nothing abnormal about the situation there - but it doesn’t mean the place is totally safe.

Level 2 is applied to a lot of places depending on events - for instance, if there’s an election and there are fears of big protests a country might get one. But it doesn’t mean it’s inherently unsafe, it just means you should be aware of a new circumstance. Level 3 and 4 are more “yeah this place is dangerously and you should think twice before booking a trip there”

[u/Relevant_Two_4536]

[u/Pretend_Market7790]

Lol at Russia being more dangerous than the UK. I've lived in both. Never saw a murder, let alone multiple murders in Russia. In Russia you get treated like a king if American. Some things are annoying, like visas, and registering in hotels, but that's for everyone.

Italy, Spain, and France have many no-go zones, and Sweden does too. This is just arbitrary nonsense. Even the Ukraine while being bombed is safer than the UK.

Immigration has changed the mood of Europe. You feel it and it's not good. The safest country on this list is Belarus too. It's just so illogical.

[u/Ordinary_Wafer_3057]

Why is Denmark yellow? It's safer than the big Swedish cities, for sure.

[u/Trgnv3]

Moscow is magnitudes safer than any large US city, unless you are traveling to Russia to make political statements.

[u/Haunting-Detail2025 → u/Trgnv3]

It’s because Russia imprisons people for leverage for swaps, not because of petty or street crimes. The state department travel advisory makes that abundantly clear

[u/Trgnv3 → u/Haunting-Detail2025]

Russia has been on the "do not travel" list long before the invasion started and any prisoner exchanges were happening. This also isn't true just for Russia, the state department is generally very cautious with its advice, which maybe is good, but also kind of ironic since many US cities are more dangerous than the countries they declare as such.

Would love to see the state department make travel advisories for Baltimore, Detroit, etc.

[u/Cheerful_Zucchini]

"safety" is not homogeneous at all so this means effectively nothing

[u/Igor_McDaddy]

Russia is quite safe, actually

It's not like you're gonna get robbed moment after you step out of a plane. The biggest threat here (especially in larger cities) is different kinds of scam, but that's the case everywhere I believe

[u/Logical_Marsupial140 → u/Igor_McDaddy]

I think the bigger issue is being arrested for a bogus charge so that you can be used for a prisoner swap. I think any American would be an idiot to travel to Russia right now.

[u/trimethylbenzene → u/Logical_Marsupial140]

idk about americans but I know many italians who live here and none of them have ever had any trouble with police. If you dont believe me check out dave legenda on youtube, he has been to all kinds of places in russia and he's completelly fine

The most dangerous, apart from terroristic threats that don’t exist, are probably Turkey and Russia. In Turkey, particularly Istanbul, you risk getting shaken down by thugs and unscrupulous bar owners. In Russia, you risk being totally ignored in the case of an emergency.

[u/bayern_16]

I’m a dual U.S. German citizen that has gone to school, worked and lived in both countries. I went to Chicago public schools and have seen some stuff in my day. In the 90’s, I lived in Bonn, Germany. I lived in an apartment building outside the city center and there was a Turkish gang there called the Chicago kings. They would spray paint it everywhere and cause havoc. My wife is Serbian and we do visit Serbia to smaller cities and villages and I feel a hell of a lot safer in Serbia than in some parts of Germany

[u/Parazit28]

Russia is safe country, just don't be near the front line, Moscow and other cities are safe, drones won't reach them. Western Ukraine is probably also +- safe. And what could happen in Belarus???

[u/Burdokva]

I live in Bulgaria. For all of the many, many bad things that are true about my country (and the Balkans in general), it is far, far safer for everyday life, especially going out after dark compared to Western Europe or the Unites States. I can say the same for neighbouring countries like Greece, Romania, Serbia, Turkey. 

Even considering that crime has worsened in my city over the past 10-15 years, I never felt unsafe or outright afraid when going out at night, as I did while living and working in London and NYC. Back in my broke ass school and uni years, I would regularly walk back home for a couple of hours after midnight crossing much of the city after a night out with friends or staying with my girlfriend; never had any trouble. 

I've done that twice in London (about a decade ago) and once in NYC, and I would never repeat. Same can be said about other wealthy cities I've visited, Luxemburg, Milan, etc. London being the worst by far.

So, yes, if you're a tourist, the Balkans are quite safe. You are likely to get scammed by a taxi driver but unless you do something truly stupid, you should be alright even out at night.

It’s rated for violence or crime targeted towards you because you’re an American. I’m pretty sure countries like France are an orange because of tension with migrant Muslim populations and ISIS cells and so on.

I live in a country with a much higher crime rate but is orange because of Boko Haram. The problem is it’s easy to become orange.

Be careful in Scotland. They might kill you with kindness. Or maybe they're talking about driving. If that's the case, then Americans do have to be careful.

[u/Less_Pipe_56]

Yeah, Americans are massively at risk here in Northern Ireland and Great Britain lol. Who made this shit up

[u/The_Guy_v2]

Netherlands is actually very safe, as long as you avoid Amsterdam and Rotterdam ;)

[u/thomsxD]

Dude, what the hell is this misinformation? There is no way Sweden is safer than Denmark. Not as a tourist either.

Call me biased but I think even Swedes with a bit of common sense would agree nowadays.
