$100k to invest

So i have around $100k to invest

What is, in your opinion and experience, the best way to invest this in 2019 ?

Requirement :
- no hassle, it must be simple and not taking too much time
- secure : i don't care if it makes 3-6% as long as i'm not loosing money.
- no crypto or shit like that, no online business, don't ask me to invest on your website please
- 5 years investment, easy to get out of


Nowadays in the EU or US, there is no inflation like in the 70-80's.
At that time, it made sense to invest in real estate as your cash would not deflate and real estate would make you money with time.
Nowadays, i think buying in real estate is shitty :
1 - there is almost no inflation, which means that $100k today will be $98k in 5 years. Back in the 70's, $100k was $70k 5 years later.
2 - Housing Prices have inflated for the past 30-40 years and they are at their maximum. Maybe only for exceptional products of $10M, you'll be lucky and sell it at $12M in 5 years. But for $100k real estate, prices are already at their max, there is no way to make money in 5 years.

So... is there any investment opportunity for $100k that are safe and that will make 3 to 6% per year and which are easy to get out of in 5 years ?

I'm mostly looking to invest in the EU since i'm based here, but i keep an open mind for any opportunity.
