10 safest countries for seniors to visit

Barely a day seems to pass without reading a new story about a location that’s been compromised by a natural disaster or civil unrest. It’s almost enough to put you off travelling in the first place! But don’t let this be a roadblock to your sense of adventure. There are still plenty of destinations around the world that are safe for seniors to visit.

Vision for Humanity, a project formed by the Institute for Economics & Peace, has released its annual Global Peace Index, a scale that ranks the countries of the world by degrees of “safeness”. The rankings are determined by factors like police and security personnel, presence of nuclear weapons and political instability.

To see which countries topped the rankings, scroll through the gallery above. There are quite a few desirable locations, among the safest countries for seniors to visit.

What do you make of the rankings? Were you surprised by any?
