Singapore's exceptional safety measures include extensive surveillance cameras in downtown areas and frequent police patrols in popular tourist spots.

Theft is a serious offense in the city-state, carrying penalties of fines and/or imprisonment for up to three years.

Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, topped the list as the world's safest city, followed by Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Others are Tokyo, Sydney, Montreal, Seoul, Berlin, Hong Kong, Venice, London, Honolulu, Dubai and Barcelona.
