Portugal - 3rd Safest Country in the World!


Portugal is considered to be the 3rd safest country in the world, according to the Global Peace Index (GPI). Portugal is beaten only by Iceland and New Zealand on this list of the safest countries and is ranked far higher than neighbouring countries such as Spain and France.

Alongside the weather, safety is one of the most important deciding factors when choosing a destination where to buy a house or a holiday home abroad. After all, you want to be able to enjoy life peacefully where you have chosen to live or to spend your holidays.

Portugal has been known for its excellent climate for many years. The sun shines on average about 3,000 hours a year in the Algarve.

Perhaps less well known is the fact that Portugal is also one of the safest countries in the world. This is mainly because the political atmosphere in the country has been stable for years, and crime rates in Portugal are some of the lowest in Europe.

If we only include countries in Southern Continental Europe, where the climate is sunny all year round, then Portugal is by far the safest country, with a considerable lead over its neighbours.
