How many of these have you ticked off your list?

The Top 20 safest cities in the world have been revealed this week and there’s certainly a few that have just been added to our travel bucket list.

The index, which was put together by the Economist, took factors such as health security, digital security and personal and infrastructure safety into account.

Six European cities made the cut but unfortunately, not one of Ireland’s fair cities featured.

In first place was Tokyo, followed by Singapore, Osaka, Stockholm and Amsterdam, while the remainder of the top ten was made up of Sydney, Zurich, Toronto, Melbourne and New York.

At 150 metres tall, the Statue Of Liberty was a gift from France to the USA. The design was based on the Romanian goddess of freedom, Libertas.  It's valued at over $45 million now and today is the day it arrived in New York City harbour in 1885.

Elsewhere, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Taipei, Montreal and Barcelona featured in the top 15, while Chicago, LA, London, Washington and Frankfurt completed the list.
