10 Most Dangerous Cities In The World To Travel by Bezed(m): 6:08pm On Nov 14, 2013
It’s now easier than ever to visit
distant locations around the world.
Some places, however, are best
avoided due to dangerous
conditions. Certain dangerous places,
on the other hand, are also desirable tourist destinations. If you do decide
to visit such places, you should at
least be aware of the risks and take
sensible precautions. Here, in
descending order, are the 10 most
dangerous cities in the world.
10. Caracas, Venezuela This is the capital city of Venezuela
and it is presently facing a crisis
involving drug gangs. Street crimes
such as muggings and theft are also
common , making this an undesirable
destination for most tourists. Many other cities in Venezuela also have
high crime rates
9. Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Mexico’s problems with drug
traffickers are well known and
Ciudad Juarez is one of the nation’s
most violent cities right now. Police
are often employed or paid off by
drug gangs, which means that many crimes go unpunished.
8. Cape Town, South Africa Due to the prevalence of poverty and
social unrest in this city, it is suffering
from an extremely high crime rate.
Although many tourists are drawn to
South Africa because of its natural
beauty and proximity to nature preserves and other attractions, Cape
Town can be a dangerous place. It is
possible to enjoy a visit to this city if
you avoid the more dangerous
sections and don’t travel alone at
night.
7. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Many cities in Brazil have very high
crime rates, and some are more
dangerous than Rio de Janeiro. Yet
since Rio is by far the most popular
tourist destination in Brazil, it’s worth
focusing on here. Rio is actually safer than it was a decade ago, but street
crimes are still common in many
areas, especially at night. It’s possible
to enjoy the resorts and beaches of
this city, but common sense
precautions should be taken
6. Guatemala City, Guatemala Although Guatemala, a Central
American nation on the Caribbean,
has many tourist attractions, it’s a
nation that is plagued with drug
violence. It has a high murder rate
and other common crimes include street robberies, bus holdups and
carjackings. It’s advisable if visiting
Guatemala to remain in safer regions
and avoid Guatemala City
5. Acapulco, Mexico Not long ago, this city was
considered a safe and luxurious
resort area. While tourism to
Acapulco is still popular, drug
violence has now made this into a
dangerous area. Recent statistics reveal that this city has one of the
world’s highest murder rates -142
per 100,000 people. People visiting
Acapulco are advised to remain on
the property of the resorts where
they are staying, as most of the crime occurs in surrounding areas.
4. Baghdad, Iraq Bombings, gunfire and other violent
events are common in Iraq. This
country has been on the “do not
travel” list for Americans for many
years and Baghdad remains a
dangerous place. The future of Iraq is extremely uncertain as U.S. troops
are departing from the country. This
is another war-torn country that is
not likely to be safe anytime soon.
Since the violence in Baghdad usually
consists of unpredictable outbreaks of terrorism, it’s not a place that
people should visit without a good
reason
3. Kabul, Afghanistan This has been one of the most
dangerous cities in the world for
some time. It is still a war zone,
although U.S. troops are gradually
being removed from the country.
Terrorist attacks, including many bombings are common. Kabul is
facing a very uncertain future and
will probably be a very dangerous
place for the foreseeable future. Like
Baghdad, Kabul is a city where
violence can occur at any time.
2. Karachi, Pakistan Pakistan is experiencing a great deal
of political unrest, and crime as well
as terrorism is rampant.
Assassinations are common, as well
as suicide bombings and gang
warfare. Karachi is one of the centers of this violence and tourists are
advised to avoid this city.
1. San Pedro Sula, Honduras This city has ranked as one of the
world’s most violent for several years
now. According to many sources, it
has the highest homicide rates in the
world -169 per 100,000 people.
Arms trafficking is a big problem, and illegal firearms are prevalent
throughout the city. This is a city that
tourists would do well to avoid.
