“Rabbi Yisroel Reisman [a very respected Orthodox Rabbi] spoke out against those Jews who plan their vacations for locations like: Switzerland, France, or Italy where the people hate Jews.”
[He said:] “It would be better to visit the Land of Israel to benefit from its holiness and help our brothers economically.”

I can’t speak to those places (and I would probably agree with the sentiment), but I can say that I was in Iceland twice and walked around with a kippah only (except when too windy, in which case I put on my baseball cap, but that wasn’t too often) and had no problems whatsoever.
