Andorra Ranks Second Safest Country Worldwide in Numbeo 2026 Index

Andorra has ranked second worldwide in Numbeo's 2026 Safety Index, achieving a score of 84.8 out of 100, behind only the United Arab Emirates at 86.03. The Principality maintains Europe's lowest crime index at 15.20, ahead of Qatar's 15.22 for third globally and well below the Isle of Man's 20.88, the continent's second-lowest.

Numbeo, a Serbian platform compiling data from users and residents across around 150 countries, evaluates safety based on perceptions of theft, violent crime, and nighttime walking. Andorra's figures show a modest gain from last year—up 1.5 points on the safety index from 83.3 and down slightly on crime from 15.29—though they remain steady amid prior variations, including 2024's 87.13 safety and 12.87 crime scores.

Within Europe, Andorra leads over the Isle of Man (79.12 safety), Estonia (76.76), and Croatia. Neighbouring countries trail sharply: France records Europe's highest crime index at 55.85, placing 114th globally and last on the continent, while Spain's 37.59 crime index ranks it 26th in Europe and around 50th to 101st worldwide, depending on the measure, and behind countries including Bulgaria, Latvia, and Serbia.

Globally, the top spots after the UAE and Andorra include Qatar, Taiwan, and Oman. Though Numbeo's rankings draw from subjective user input, security specialists regard them as valuable indicators for travellers, investors, and families, recommending they be paired with official crime data.

Andorra Business highlighted the results on January 8, 2026, via social media, stating they underscore the Principality's status as Europe's safest country and the world's second. The agency noted that such perception statistics on crime, including robberies, violent offences, and personal safety concerns, serve as key tools for those seeking stable environments. Local media including Diari d'Andorra, ARA, Altaveu, El Periòdic, and Bon Dia have covered the index, bolstering Andorra's reputation as a secure destination.
