Discovering new places is a great experience. However, some cities become less attractive due to crime rates.
Unfortunately, crime is still a reality in Brazilian cities and directly affects the safety of residents and tourists.
Recently, data platform Numbeo released a report on the 50 most dangerous cities in the world, based on the safety perception of residents and travelers.
This ranking seeks to alert tourists about the risks associated with certain destinations.
6 Brazilian cities considered the most dangerous for tourists (capitals are also in the ranking)
1. Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil’s biggest tourist icons, ranks 7th among the most dangerous Brazilian cities.
Famous for its beaches and Carnival, the city also faces serious security problems
Violence, especially in peripheral areas and some tourist regions, requires tourists to be alert and avoid certain locations.
2. Fortaleza
In 9th position in the ranking, Fortaleza is another Brazilian city with high crime rates.
Its beautiful beaches and northeastern culture attract many visitors, but the city has high numbers of thefts and robberies, especially in tourist areas.
Visitors are advised to take precautions and remain vigilant during their visit.
3. Salvador
Salvador ranks 10th, and although it is one of the most visited Brazilian cities due to its Carnival and rich history, the city also faces challenges related to security.
With high crime rates, especially in peripheral areas, tourists should be extra careful and avoid certain neighborhoods, especially at night.
4. Recife
Recife, with its strong cultural influence and beautiful beaches, is not immune to security problems.
