Pakistan Beats India in World’s Safest Countries for Travel Rankings

Pakistan has ranked higher than India in Numbeo’s 2025 Global Safety Index, securing the 65th spot with a score of 56.3, while India followed closely at 66th with 55.7. The ranking highlights a marginal difference in perceived safety between the two neighboring countries.

The report, compiled by crowdsourced data platform Numbeo, evaluates crime levels worldwide, offering insights into the safest and least safe destinations for travelers.

At the top of the list, Andorra—a small European nation between Spain and France—claimed the highest safety score of 84.7. Other countries in the top five include the United Arab Emirates (84.5), Qatar (84.2), Taiwan (82.9), and Oman (81.7), all recognized for their strong security measures and low crime rates.

Several major economies placed lower than expected. The United States ranked 89th with a safety score of 50.8, while the United Kingdom followed at 87th. Australia (82nd) and New Zealand (86th) also fared below traditionally safer destinations. France, often considered a secure European hub, landed at 110th with a score of 44.6.

On the other end of the spectrum, Venezuela ranked as the least safe country with a score of just 19.3, followed by Papua New Guinea (19.7), Haiti (21.1), Afghanistan (24.9), and South Africa (25.3).
