Travelling around the world is a great way to
spend your vacation time, but not all cities are as
charming as the ones in the travel brochures.
While every large city has its problems, some are
a little worse than others. Here are some of the
most dangerous cities in the world.

1. Barquisimeto, Venezuela

Though Barquisimeto has just over a million
residents, the city sees murders almost every
day. The city is the capital of its region and
features a surprisingly high number of
universities and other places of higher education.
Despite once being a thriving tourist destination,
the area is now so dangerous that many tourists
avoid it.

2. Peshawar, Pakistan

Peshawar, Pakistan is another dangerous place
in the world. With tribes and warlords fighting for
supremacy, Peshawar is not safe, especially for
foreigners. Although the city boasts amazing
landmarks and breathtaking parks, targeted
attack on security forces and suicide bombings,
unfortunately, make Peshawar one of the world’s
most dangerous cities to visit.

3. Sana’a, Yemen

A politically instable country, Yemen has its share
of problems. That being said, the capital city,
Sana’a, is one of the most dangerous places in
the entire world. Despite the best efforts of US
allies, the city remains a high risk destination.
Those who do make it there enjoy visiting the Old
City, a section of Sana’a full of beautifully
designed buildings from a more peaceful time.

4. Acapulco, Mexico

Acapulco was once a popular tourist destination.
These days, however, the stunning beaches see
only a handful of vacationers. Drug cartels are a
problem throughout Mexico and it has only been
getting worse over the past decade. Large
numbers of dead bodies are a common
occurrence in this port city, making it a nerve
wracking place to hang out.

5. Distrito Central, Honduras

While no large city is immune to violence,
Distrito Central has surpassed the usual
amount of violence. There is one of the highest
murder rates around the globe. The dangers can
be attributed to extreme poverty, government
corruption and a heavy Mafia presence. Distrito
Central is actually three cities blended into one.
The high level of violence deters all but the most
reckless of tourists.

6. Maceió, Brazil

Brazil has a whopping 14 of the world’s most
violent cities. Maceió is the capital of the Alagoas
state and sees around 135 murders per 100,000
residents each year. The city is by far the most
dangerous in the country, topping even Rio de
Janeiro, which most people know for its favelas, or
slums. Brazil may host a large part of the Amazon
rainforest, but its most populated areas are not
places you want to hang out in.

7. Mogadishu, Somalia

The city of Mogadishu has had problems with al
Shabaab militants for a while now, making the
area unsafe for citizens and tourists alike. The
United States refused to set foot in the country
for over two decades, but changed that policy in
2013 when military advisers were sent to
Mogadishu to help the locals resolve the militant
issue. Despite the aid, the area is still dangerous.

8. Nairobi, Kenya

Africa is a continent with a long history of
violence and war. Nairobi has suffered
considerably in recent years. Kenya is a beautiful
country with plenty to offer, but it is also so
dangerous that most tourists leave it off the
itinerary. Nairobi is considered particularly
dangerous for women, but no one should walk
around the city at night. Al Shabaab militants
have threatened the area for some time now,
making it even more tense than usual.

9. Chihuahua, Mexico

Mexico’s violence problems are big enough to
warrant it two spots on this list. In reality, there
are many more Mexican cities on the world’s
most violent cities list, but Chihuahua beats
them out because of its position on the cocaine
smuggling route to the United States. Drug
cartels have taken over the area and it is not
uncommon to see random firefights in the
streets, making it a very inhospitable place to
visit or to live.

10. Cali, Colombia


Many of the cities on this list are in Latin America
and for good reason. Drug cartel violence
abounds in many of these cities and Cali,
Colombia is no exception. With nearly 80
homicides, it’s not a very safe place to live.
Colombia has never had a great reputation and
it’s unlikely to become a tourist destination
anytime soon.

Despite being in some of the most beautiful areas
of the world, these cities simply present too much
danger for the average traveler. It’s safer to find a
place where you aren’t as likely to catch a stray
bullet. Are you planning to go to any of these
cities?

@neyoor So which of them is more dangerous than the present osun state that you and O'aregbe has made more dangerous

Omexonomy: @neyoor So which of them is more dangerous than the present osun state that you and O'aregbe has made more dangerous

Be serious, even if for once. This is not politics section. And tell me how Osun has become dangerous. How many lives lost or you don't know the meaning of the word "Dangerous"
