00:00If you're dreaming of retiring abroad, there's a new name at the top of the safety list,
00:04and it might surprise you. International Living just named Portugal the world's safest country
00:09for retirees in 2026, beating out longtime favorites Italy and Greece. The ranking combines
00:15Portugal's Retirement Index score with the Global Peace Index, which measures crime,
00:21political stability, and overall safety. Portugal ranked seventh globally for peace
00:26and fourth for retirement suitability. Correspondents living there describe walking
00:30alone late at night without any concern, something that's rare to hear so consistently.
00:35Portugal is also known for its LGBTQ plus inclusive culture, affordable food, and universal health
00:41care. From the cliffs of the Algarve to the streets of Lisbon, retirees are finding more than safety.
00:47They're finding a slower, peaceful way of life. Ireland came in second overall.
