Solo travelers reveal the most DANGEROUS cities to visit alone where muggings, shootings and prostitution are commonplace – but their picks might surprise you

As a warning to others, a string of solo travelers have spoken out about the most dangerous cities they have visited, where robberies, shootings and prostitution are common and going out after dark is not recommended.

In a TikTok, traveler Conner McBee highlights that Tijuana, Mexico is widely considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world and was reported to have 105 murders for every 100,000 residents in 2023.

He interviews a woman who works at a local pharmacy, and she warns him that criminals can “beat you up” and “take your stuff.” She continues, “(They will) take everything from you until you walk barefoot.”

Another interview with Conner on the Street paints a similar picture of the place. He says, ‘They’re taking shit from you, yeah. They take it and then everything you have.”

As he walks through the city himself, Conner tells viewers, “There’s all these whores walking up to me, like they’re watching me. Yes, I definitely don’t feel safe.’

Another commenter said the city is “a place I will never step foot in” because of its bad reputation.

In another TikTok, Courtney Leopardwho has been to more than 59 countries, reveals which cities she felt most unsafe in.

She emphasizes to viewers that “this is just a personal experience as a solo traveler” and in no particular order.

First, she chooses Havana, Cuba, because she said she “didn’t feel particularly comfortable walking around alone” and witnessed a robbery in the street.

Recalling the incident, she said: ‘I was walking with an older American woman who was walking behind me and this man literally tried to rob her and take her bag when she was about twenty feet behind me. So that really put me off.”

Cebu City in the Philippines is another city where Courtney said she felt unsafe.

The traveler notes that she did not stay in Manila, so she “has nothing to compare it to,” but while in Cebu, she said she was walking to the ferry dock just as it was getting dark and she was called .

“It was just… not very comfortable for me,” she explains.

Finally, Courtney’s other nomination is Thessaloniki in mainland Greece.

She tells viewers, “I feel like I can’t give an honest account because I didn’t spend that much time there, but I’m just going to go with it based on what happened to me and that was I was followed by a man from the bus stop to my hostel.

“It made me so uncomfortable that I had to go to a store and explain to the woman that this man was following me and she basically said she knew him and he was dealing with substance abuse so I had to avoid him.

‘It just wasn’t a good introduction to Thessaloniki.’

YouTuber @littleshamelessviking was also about sharing his insights into Belize City, where he said “the most violence” takes place in Belize.
