With the world in a wee bit of chaos this 2016, traveling has never been scarier. Travelers must now be vigilant while traveling, for several terrorist groups are installing fear in some countries in Europe and especially in the Middle East.

But fear not, there are some places in the world you can still travel without being afraid for your safety. This 2017, put these places in your travel bucket list for a safe, stress-free travel:

Slovenia is a country in Europe, a terribly underrated tourist destination full of beautiful landscapes, rich history, and fairy-tale like sceneries. And when it comes to safety, travelers shouldn't worry because it's not often that they experience terror-like activities. You will notice the abundance of police officers constantly roaming around in their city, because safety for all people is paramount in Slovenia. That right there should make you relax. Some beautiful destinations you should check out in this country are the Škocjan Caves, Bled, and Predjama Castle.

Traveling to Portugal is not only affordable and memorable, it also boasts top marks in the safety department. Police officers are always present in their tourist attractions to ensure the safety of all travelers, and, you don't hear much of troubles and fearful incidents going around in their place. Indulge yourself in their mouthwatering local cuisine as well as the beautiful attractions such as Azores, Coimbra, and Madeira.

Traveling to Czech Republic always feels like you're stepping back in time, with its Middle-Age vibe and hidden green valleys. And when it comes to safety, the odds are very low for any unfortunate encounter. In fact, each year, only less than a hundred people get murdered in Prague, and the most likely cause of trouble or injury you might get while traveling here is spraining your ankle walking in their cobbled streets. So yes, indulge yourselves in Czech's medieval-like towns, friendly people, and amazing culture without looking over your shoulders. Your safety here is guaranteed.

Six years have been Iceland in the running for the safest place to travel in the world. And why not? Because of its relatively small geography, people here don't waste their time involving themselves in petty crimes, and terrorism here is actually close to nil. Residents here also top the list of high literacy rates, which means the residents know better than to make their place unsafe. Explore Iceland and marvel in their stunning waterfalls, picturesque natural heated pools, and of course, don't forget to witness the Aurora Borealis.
