21 Most Dangerous Places and Cities in The World to Travel

 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

You may not be surprised that Rio makes the list, although to consider it "too dangerous" to travel to would be wrong. It's not and if you have the opportunity, you should pay a visit. Authorities have successfully and dramatically stepped up efforts to make the city safer since the 90's when it was classed as a hazard across the board. It is now considered safe enough to host the worlds largest sporting event in the Olympics later this year but you shouldn't take that as an opportunity to let your guard down. Plenty of people are robbed in Rio every year and tourists are continually targeted by thieves and con artists, so make the effort to keep yourself safe.
