The safety scores are general indicators, last reviewed in August 2026. They are not travel advice: conditions change, and official advisories often flag specific regions rather than whole countries. Check your own government’s advice before you book.

On-the-ground spending only — flights aren't included, and they often matter more than the daily rate.
