These cities may look like idyllic holiday hotspots in some photos, but the truth is they are some of the most dangerous places in the world, according to the global Numbeo Crime Index database.
Mid-year data for 2024 ranked these 20 cities as the highest-crime and lowest-safety cities on the planet based on surveys of perceived crime levels and visitor safety, as well as specific crimes such as violent crimes.
A city with a high crime index (score between 60 and 80) or a very high index (over 80) is considered very dangerous, while a city with a high safety index is considered very safe.
Every single city in the top 20 most dangerous has a crime rate higher than 70.
