Tourism is an awesome experience when we find the right place, and are around the right people. It turns hazardous when we find ourselves at the wrong place, and around the wrong people. Below is a list of The Top Ten Cities to avoid as a Tourist.
10. Cape town, South Africa
Cape town is known to be a dangerous city for tourists. Although the city center may look modern and rich, most people in Cape town are poor, and they are well aware of how wealthy the tourists are. If you ever decide to go to Cape town, find out which areas you should avoid, preferably don’t go alone, especially if you are a female.
9. Guatamala City, Guatamala
A city in the popular travelling destination, Carribean. If you are going to the Carribean, avoid Guatamala. This city is filled with drug gangs, corruption, and a very poorly police institution to protect you as a tourist. An entire family was reported kidnapped not long ago from this dangerous city. Be aware.
8. San Pedro Sula, Honduras
The rate of drug use here, is enormous, causing violent gangs, corruption and high murder rate. It was previous ranked as the most vioelent city on our planet. Stay away from this city, its dangerous.
7. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
When you talk dangerous cities, Rio de janeiro has one of the highest rape percentage in the world. In June 2016 A story was reported of a girl being kidnapped and raped by 33 men.
It may have hosted the Olympics, but that does not mean that the city is safe. If you are going there, avoid the Favela, even the local population avoids this place.
6. Caracas, Venezuela
In 2015 this city had the highest death rate in the world. The murder rate is so high because of the heavy drug trafficking, gang members, lack of adequate police, corruption and poverty. A Tourist should be very careful visiting this city.
5. San Salvador, El Salvador
The city of gangs. Yes, i'm talking THE CITY OF GANGS. San Salvador is ruled by gangs, literally. There are speculations on whether the police or the gangs have more power. Gangs such as MS-13 and M-18 has more than 25 000 members and another 9 000 in prison, according to Wikipedia.
If this was in the early 2012, this city would have made it on the top 1 spot on most dangerous cities. In 2012, there were on average 16 killings per day. Due to a truce with police, this dropped later to under 5 per day. Yes, the city is still very dangerous and should be avoided by tourists.
4. Acapulco, Mexico
If rape and kidnapping doesn’t scare you, what about some murder statistics? If you live in Acapulco, your chance of dying due to murder, is 1 to 700. As a tourist, the chance of something happening to you is even bigger. People that still decide to go there, are advised to stay at their hotel throughout the whole trip.
3. Kabul Afghanistan
If there’s a city where western tourists are simply not welcome, it’s this city. The population hates tourists for two main reasons. 1. Religion, 2. Bombing. The population is simply tired of the introuding american soldiers, they don’t think of them as protective, instead they are blaming them for the war. When they see you, they see an american soldier.
Just stay away from this city.
2. Mogadishu, Somalia
People escape from the direction of a huge fire-ball after an accidental explosion at a petrol storage facility within the former U.S. residential housing in Mogadishu
Some places are are flagged as «DO NOT GO HERE» by sites just as tripadvisor. This is one of those places. The city is dangerous for many reasons. When you go here as a tourist, expect no protection from anyone but yourself. The gouvernment has had little to no function since 1991 and the police is corrupt to the bone. Stay away
1. Aleppo, Syria.
worlds-most-dangerous-cities-aleppo
Heard about ISIS? This is a terrorist organisation that will not think twice before they kill someone that is not 100% believer of Sunni Islam. This dangerous city would eradicate the entire western world if they could, infact – everyone that’s not a believer of Islam. It’s not easy to travel to this city, no planes go to Syria directly anymore, but if you still somehow make it to this city, find yourself a hidingspot and stay there.
