21 Most Dangerous Places and Cities in The World to Travel

Chernobyl, Russia

The site of a nuclear disaster seems an unlikely tourist attraction, but Chernobyl's Exclusion Zone keeps drawing visitors. From Kiev, it's a two-hour tour bus ride to Pripyat, a city frozen in time. There you can witness what the former Soviet Union (now Ukraine) was like in 1986—and that's about all you can do there. Because of radiation from the power plant explosion, tourists are warned again touching any objects or vegetation or even sitting on the ground.
