  • Chances are you live in a relatively safe and secure place, but there are some places

  • out there where life expectancy is irrelevant as it could be taken from you any day. If

  • youre planning your next holiday, you should strongly consider skipping all of these places.

  • From drug gangs to homicides to terrorism, we count 10 of the most dangerous cities in

  • the world.

  • 10. Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Mexico is well known for drug trafficking,

  • and Ciudad Juarez has been one of the nation’s most violent cities. Police are often employed

  • or paid off by drug gangs resulting in hundreds if not thousand crimes going unsolved every

  • year. However this has been improving in recent years and murders are down from 3,111 in 2010

  • to 730 in 2012. While these numbers are still very scary, hopefully it shows a road to recovery

  • for the city. 9. Caracas, Venezuela

  • The capital of Venezuela, Caracas is currently facing a very serious crisis involving drug

  • gangs. Crime rate in general including muggings and theft is also very high, making this an

  • undesirable location for tourism. Since the election of current president Hugo Chavez

  • in 1998, murder rates have more than doubled and in 2008 Caracas won the award forMurder

  • Capital of the Worldby Foreign Policy. I’m not so sure there should be an award

  • for such a thing myself, but this shows how serious the problem in Caracas really is.

  • 8. Cape Town, South Africa While South Africa is a tourism magnet due

  • to it’s natural beauty and close proximity to nature preserves and other attractions,

  • Cape Town can be a very dangerous city at the moment. A high level of poverty around

  • some sections is responsible for an extremely high crime rate, and many tourists go there

  • and never return. However, it is possible to visit Cape Town as long as you avoid the

  • more dangerous sections and don’t travel alone at night.

  • 7. Guatemala City, Guatemala Guatemala is a nation located in the Caribbean

  • and it has many tourist attractions, Guatemala City is unfortunately not one of them. The

  • city is plagued with drug violence and has a high murder rate, along with many robberies,

  • carjackings and bus holdups. It’s advisable to stay away from this city if youre thinking

  • of visiting Guatemala, or if you must visit, precautions should be taken such as not travelling

  • in the dark, keeping valuables to a minimum and avoiding buses if possible.

  • 6. Acapulco, Mexico Not long ago this city was considered a safe

  • and luxurious resort area. However, since then drug violence has transformed this into

  • a very dangerous area indeed. Statistically, Acapulco holds one of the world’s highest

  • murder rates with 142 murders per 100,000 people. Visitors of this city are advised

  • to stay on the property of the resorts theyre visiting, as a majority of the crime occurs

  • in the surrounding areas.

  • 5. Baghdad, Iraq Iraq has been on theDo Not Travellist

  • for Americans for many years now, and it’s not looking like that’s going to change

  • any time soon. Bombings, gunfire and unpredictable outbreaks of terrorism make this one of the

  • most dangerous cities in the world. The future of Iraq as a nation is currently very uncertain,

  • with US troops departing from the country, and for the foreseeable future, this is not

  • a city anyone should visit without a good reason.

  • 4. Kabul, Afghanistan Kabul is in a very similar situation to Baghdad

  • at the moment. Violence and terrorism can occur at any time, and this is likely to be

  • a dangerous place for quite a while. Currently it’s still a war zone, though US troops

  • are slowly being removed from the country. Terrorist attacks, including bombings are

  • still very common. If youre looking to visit Afghanistan in the near future, Kabul

  • may be a city to avoid. 3. San Pedro Sula, Honduras

  • A mortician from San Pedro told The GuardianSatan Himself lives here in San Pedro

  • With a murder rate of 187 per 100,000 people, San Pedro Sula was named the world’s most

  • violent city by a study made in Mexico in 2014. Arms and drug trafficking have flooded

  • the country, contributing to an increasingly high level of gang violence. This is further

  • made worse by civilians being able to legally own up to five personal firearms, along with

  • corruption and poverty throughout the city this doesn’t make for a peaceful life. Furthermore,

  • inmates have controlled all 24 prisons in Honduras since the government gave up on rehabilitating

  • convicts. 2. Karachi, Pakistan

  • Pakistan is experiencing a great deal of political unrest, with assassinations, suicide bombings

  • and gang warfare, Karachi is one of the centres of the violence in the country and tourists

  • are advised to avoid this city. Karachi is the largest city in Pakistan and is home to

  • around 23 million people making it the second largest city by population in the world. While

  • its murder rate is not as high as many of the other spots on this list, Karachi is the

  • most dangerous of the world’s largest cities, none of the other 13 largest cities in the

  • world come close to Karachi’s murder rate. 1. Mosul - Iraq

  • In June 2014, Mosul was overtaken by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). Since

  • then, Mosul has been arguably the most dangerous city in the world, with car bombings, suicide

  • bombings, assassinations and random shootings. In August 2014 the Mosul Dam was captured

  • by ISIS militants, which became a serious concern as the destruction of the Dam would

  • result in a 66ft wave of water which wouldve destroyed Mosul and other towns nearby. Fortunately

  • the Dam was re-captured by Iraqi and Kurdish forces and is now back in safe hands, but

  • regardless, Mosul in its current state is a place you definitely don’t want to visit.

Chances are you live in a relatively safe and secure place, but there are some places
