27. Croatia: Adriatic Dreams, Secure Realities

Croatia has soared in popularity, and for good reason: its stunning coastline, historic cities, and generally high level of safety. Crime rates are low, especially in tourist-heavy areas like Dubrovnik, Split, and the islands. While pickpocketing can occur in crowded spots, serious incidents are rare. Visitors can confidently explore ancient Roman ruins, sail the Adriatic, or hike in national parks, knowing they are in a secure and welcoming European destination.
