one of australia’s largest cities melbourne attracts tourists and students from across the country and the rest of the world it’s always been rated very highly for safety in recent years and most visitors will get along just fine with the friendly locals just remember when visiting not to stray too far off the beaten path as with most cities even the safest some areas might put you at more risk unless you really know what you’re doing and where you’re going you should stick to the places that see the most visitor friendly foot traffic to ensure your stay goes smoothly number eight hong kong this one is tricky it’s safe for visitors but not for residents who want democracy hong kong has a long history of movies about violence organized crime but while internal affairs and chunking express are outstanding films they might give you the idea that hong kong is an extremely dangerous city in truth hong kong is incredibly safe and you shouldn’t be deterred from visiting since it’s so popular with tourists you’re always going to find people trying to scam you but if you keep your wits about you and learn a little cantonese you’ll have a in a lifetime trip and while you’re there you’ve got to make time to visit the peak as the island’s tallest hill you have an incomparable view of this incredible metropolis number seven wellington new zealand’s capital isn’t the country’s most popular destination by a mile but like most of new zealand wellington is safe and a pleasure to visit no matter the time of year though it does have a reputation for being windy and is prone to earthquakes earthquakes won’t usually cause much havoc nowadays but it’s still a danger any tourists should be aware of but other than that wellington is renowned for being friendly and is definitely worth the long flight to reach it from most parts of the world while there be sure to visit the celebrated wellington museum and wellington zoo the latter of which boasts unique animals like hyenas and capybaras number six amsterdam even amsterdam’s most notorious area the red light district is going to be safe for any tourists who decide to visit in fact though you might assume it has a seedy

need it you can visit the city’s many museums and see the stunning canals and almost total safety and though it’s recently fallen out of first place for many years it was actually the safest city on the entire european continent there’s no reason not to visit this exceptionally open and welcoming city number five tokyo it’s one of the busiest most densely populated cities on earth but the biggest danger is almost certainly getting lost trying to see everything tokyo has to offer japan is famous for its high-tech public transport but trains are often crowded and shinjuku station is mind-bending to navigate thanks to its business regardless tokyo remains a popular and welcoming destination for tourists and you don’t have to travel far to find delicious sake sushi and ramen you’ll definitely want to head to kabukicho first of all a prime destination for visitors and locals which is open late and extremely safe as always though be aware of scams and pickpockets number four sydney it’s not the capital but sydney is definitely australia’s most famous city and has long been popular with tourists desperate to take a picture in front of the opera house there are certain areas you should be

sure you know what rules you need to follow while visiting number 2 toronto canadians reputation for politeness certainly precedes them and it’s often the first thing that springs to mind
