Andorra, the safest country in the world.

The safest country in the world has more foreign residents than nationals and a very special relationship with Spain.

Small European countries or microstates often share certain characteristics beyond what their name suggests. These countries are usually extremely wealthy, with very high employment rates and an impressive linguistic diversity (being so small, they need to master the languages of their neighbors). One of them stands out as the safest country in the world and because it has more foreign residents than nationals. This is Andorra, the safest country in the world.

Andorra was chosen in 2024 and 2025 as the safest country in the world, according to the global index of the Numbeo platform, which is calculated based on data and perception surveys. In the latest Numbeo ranking, the Principality tops the list with a safety index of 84.7 (out of 100), supported by an extremely low crime rate, around 12 to 13.
