#4 – Russia

Russia is probably the most unexpected country to show up on this list since it offers countless of natural and human-made wonders, which make people from all over the world want to visit it at least once in a lifetime.

But the Global Peace Index says otherwise, considering Russia one of the most dangerous countries on the globe. Why? The country has a very high crime rate, including abduction, drug trafficking, fraud, and even human trafficking.

One of the worst things about beautiful Russia is the amount of freedom that multiple criminal organizations have, allowing them to operate easily without worrying about the judicial system. That’s not all, tourists should also be aware of the widespread street crime and take extra precautions when heading to Russia.

#3 – Afghanistan

We can all agree that Afghanistan has strikingly beautiful sights and fabulous architecture (the Blue Mosque, for example), BUT its beauty isn’t worth the risks that tourists can encounter while visiting this country. What can you admire in a war zone!

After the Russian invasion, Afghanistan currently suffers from Taliban’s ferocious interference in the country’s issues. That, in addition to the common landmines, bombings, terrorist attacks, crimes, contract killings, kidnapping, and the list goes on and one. In brief, this is absolutely not the right place to enjoy a vacation.

  1. Surprised you did not mention the Maldives. It remains safe if you are part of ISIS and that’s about it~

  2. Do u guyz ever visit India or Pakistan…

  3. Wow. Can’t believe Russia was on the list. We spent six weeks on our 50th anniversary traveling from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok. People, without exception, were extremely friendly. Of course, you always need to be aware of your surroundings, domestic or otherwise. Moscow; exceptionally clean, no graffiti, almost need reservations to get into McDonalds. St. Petersburg is beautiful and a “go back to” city!

  4. There is an island in Thailand which is very beautiful and is a massive magnet to the young. However there have been many unexplained deaths in the last few years which the police seem hell bent on covering up, mainly to protect the tourist trade.This island KOH TAO has become very dangerous indeed. Tell your kids to stay away.

  5. A very biased and false dramatization of the situation of Pakistan. Do you have any figures of the tourists killed in any of the terrorist attacks in Pakistan? According to my knowledge at least none in last 5 years. As far as your question as to why someone would like to visit this country, out of many valid reasons I would only enlist a few.
    1. It has the second highest mountain of the world.
    2. Hosts 5 of the 8 above 8000 meter peaks in the world.
    3. Meeting point of 3 most well known mountain ranges i.e. Hindukush, Karakoram and Himalayas.
    4. Has the ruins of the earliest civilizations of the world at Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Taxila.
    I could keep going on but for anyone to be convinced as to whether it’s worth taking a risk, the above few reasons should be enough.
