According to Forbes Advisor, Singapore takes the top spot as the safest city for tourists.
The study, conducted by the global platform on personal finances, came to this conclusion after comparing 60 international cities across seven key metrics such as natural disaster and crime risks.
In Singapore, incidents such as typhoons, earthquakes or floods range from unheard of to uncommon.
Because of that, we rank lowest when it comes to natural disaster risks.
Singapore scores second lowest for health security risks and infrastructure security risks, reflecting the quality of the city's healthcare and infrastructure.
Another notable point is Singapore's low digital security risk. This translates to the ability for citizens to roam the internet without fear of privacy violations, identity theft and online attacks.
Other cities with good overall scores include Tokyo and Toronto, with the two cities taking the second and third spot respectively.
