How we choose

Every destination is scored from 25 years of NASA climate data for its capital: daytime highs close to 25 °C, little rain, moderate humidity and clear skies score best. “Best time” means March is among the top months of the year for that country; “Good time” means it is pleasant but not the peak. Countries where the US or UK government advises against travel are left out, and high-risk destinations are flagged in the table — see the safest countries to visit.
