The 15 Most Dangerous Cities in the World

7. Fortaleza, Brazil

Another mention for a city in Brazil. This is a beautiful area known for its beaches and red cliffs. Unfortunately, this beauty has not stopped huge amounts of crime developing in this area. It is advised to stay within tourist areas and not to venture to certain areas of the city as 83 people for every 100,000 were killed in homicides in 2017.

6. La Paz, Mexico

Cocaine consumption is commonplace in this area. This means that drug gangs often get into violent feuds that almost inevitably end in death. There are also a huge number of scams to try and coerce tourists into handing over cash. Even though it is a relatively small community of 305,000, for every 100,000 people, 85 will be murdered.
