Montreal named safest city in the world for travelers in 2027
Montreal, Canada, has been ranked as the safest city in the world for travelers in 2027, according to the Safest Cities Report by Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection. The city rose from 16th place in the previous year, earning a score of 82.18 points due to its low crime rates and high neighborhood safety ratings. While highly rated for security, the report notes that travelers may face challenges with traffic and bridge crossings due to the city's geography and frequent road construction.
European cities dominate the top 15 rankings, with nine destinations included. Zurich, Switzerland, secured the second position, followed by Amsterdam, Netherlands, in third. Other notable cities in the top rankings include Tokyo, Japan, and Reykjavik, Iceland.
The study utilized data from over 1,500 American travelers, combining personal experiences with safety indices from Numbeo, The Economist, and GeoSure Global. The report emphasizes that these rankings reflect safety conditions observed during the survey period in August 2026.
