Vietnam ranks 8th among Asia’s safest destinations
The international organization for diplomatic training, Best Diplomats, has just announced the top 10 safest destinations in Asia, with Vietnam ranked 8th. This list was compiled based on three criteria: low crime rates, stable political conditions, and a safe living environment.
“Safety must be a top priority when choosing a travel destination,” Best Diplomats emphasized in the introduction of their article. Accordingly, the selected countries, considered the safest destinations in Asia, include Singapore, Japan, Bhutan, Malaysia, Qatar, Taiwan (China), Kuwait, Vietnam, South Korea, and Mongolia.

Ranked 8th on the list of Asia’s safest destinations, Best Diplomats praised Vietnam for its beautiful landscapes, diverse culture, and rich cuisine.
According to Best Diplomats, in 2024, Vietnam’s peace index is 1.745, while the national crime index is 41.8, and the safety index is 58.2. These figures further strengthen the reputation and prestige of Vietnam’s tourism brand in the international market.
However, while visiting Vietnam, tourists should remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, as pickpocketing and scams still occur in some areas. With proper preparation and street awareness, travelers can easily overcome these minor challenges.
Hanoi: A Historic and Attractive Destination
Hanoi is one of Vietnam’s safest destinations
Additionally, the capital city of Hanoi is considered an attractive and long-established destination for many visitors worldwide. Known for its rich history, vibrant street life, and cultural landmarks, Hanoi offers a blend of traditional charm and modern amenities. Highlights include the historic Old Quarter, the majestic Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and serene Hoan Kiem Lake. The city’s bustling markets, delicious street food, and friendly atmosphere make it a captivating place to explore, ensuring a memorable experience for travelers.
