The most dangerous cities around the world tourists should avoid are named

Traveling is always an adventure. However, there are places where it is better not to go. OBOZREVATEL tells you which cities in the world are the most dangerous for tourists.

Caracas (Venezuela)

This city has the highest crime rate in the world - 84.5%. Due to rampant poverty and economic and political problems, violence and crime rule the streets. Nevertheless, fans of extreme recreation come here for exciting emotions. The disappearance of tourists is a common thing for this region.

Pretoria (South Africa)

Pretoria is one of the three capitals of South Africa. In addition to it, the country also has judicial and legislative centers. This is not surprising, as the crime rate is high throughout the country, and in Pretoria it is as high as 82.3%. The most dangerous place is the city center. Here you can be shot dead, abducted, or sold into slavery.. Criminals know where the few tourists like to stay, so they are always waiting to take advantage of them.

Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea)

This city is the capital of the descendants of cannibalistic tribes. The locals live below the poverty line, so they "earn" their food by killing and robbing. Tourists are attracted to Port Morbsey because of its dilapidated neighborhoods, most of which are built on water. Travelers consider this as something incredible and surreal. However, becoming a victim of a violent population is a real risk that should be taken into account before traveling.

Durban (South Africa)

This city is considered the most crime-ridden metropolis in South Africa. This is not surprising, as the crime rate here is 80.6%. And although South Africa now allows tourists to come for 90 days without a visa, we do not recommend choosing Durban for your vacation. There is indeed something to see here, but the risk of not even reaching your hotel is still very high.

Johannesburg (South Africa)

Some tour operators suggest starting your trip to South Africa from Johannesburg as the weather is good here almost all year round. Moreover, there are interesting tourist attractions and very rich nature. Still, it can not be said the same about the people living there. The city's population is very poor, so the crime rate here reaches 80.5%. Serious crimes such as murder are the most common in the metropolis, with tourists often being the main target.
