What is behind the Risk Map?

 

The Risk Map is essentially your visual reality check for travel worldwide. Every year, Safeture publishes this map to show you at a glance the safety situation in different regions. Instead of wading through lengthy reports, you get a clear, color-coded assessment – quick, easy to understand, and incredibly helpful if you're planning your next adventure.
 

And let's be honest: a little overview never hurts, right? That's precisely why it's worth knowing the Risk Map. It helps you better assess risks, make more informed decisions, and travel with greater peace of mind. Not to scare you – but so you're prepared and know what you're getting into.
 

Nevertheless, even if this map indicates that the security situation in some countries is still "safe" compared to others, everyone is aware of the news reports from recent months. Just because a country is marked green doesn't mean that nothing is happening there. Serious violent crimes, including sexual assaults, are also on the rise. Such incidents are often not reflected in general security maps or rankings, and the rating below, for example, contradicts the ratings of other official government websites. Therefore, don't be naive; inform yourself thoroughly about current developments before your trip. Especially if you are traveling alone, avoid risky situations. Pay particular attention to your personal safety – especially at night or in unfamiliar areas. In Europe: Be vigilant when you are in crowds. There is currently an increased risk of terrorism (US Level 2 of 4).

 

The map colors are as follows:
 

• Red means: critical – special caution is advised, travel is often not recommended.

• Orange represents a high risk – possible, but only with good preparation and awareness.

• Yellow indicates a medium risk – you should remain vigilant, but panic is out of place.

• Light green means: low risk – travel relaxed with common sense.

• Dark green is the comfort zone – very low risk and usually problem-free.
