5 PHOTOS
Traveling 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.
Barquisimeto, Venezuela
Despite Barquisimeto has just over a million residents, the city has 57 murders every single day. The city is the capital of its region and features a surprisingly high number of universities and other places of higher education. It used to be a tourist destination, but the city is now so dangerous that many tourists avoid it.
Peshawar, Pakistan.
Peshawar, Pakistan is another extremely 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 nice parks, targeted attack on security forces and suicide bombings, unfortunately, make Peshawar one of the world’s most dangerous cities to visit.
Sana'a Yemen
Yemen is world known as politically instable country. Therefore, the capital city, Sana’a, is one of the most dangerous places in the entire world.
Acapulco Mexico
Acapulco used to be a popular tourist destination. But now, the beautiful beaches visit only small amount of tourists. 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.
Distrito Central Honduras
The city has one of the highest murder rates around the globe due 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.
