[@bulentunal3832]

As we all know it depends on the local police reporting and on economic conditions of people living there. Many incidents don't even get reported for various reasons. But limiting danger4ous places to 10 is not realistic. what about Madrid, Barcelona, Marseilles, Luton, Birmingham, Scunthorpe, Grenoble, Frankfurt,...... the list goes on. Should people feel safe? I think there is no safe place in the world anymore, unless you go to Luxembourg, Switzerland, Vatican,...etc.

[@margueriteb.3376]

So, no more travelling in Europe. What about U.S.A ? Perhaps it's worse...

What I find surprising is that anyone would even consider going anywhere near Russia or Ukraine. Travel there only makes sense if you have family still living in the area.

What surprised me wasn't any country that was ON the list, it was three countries that were NOT on the list. Ukraine for sure belongs at number one just as you reported. But no mention of Syria, Lebanon, and Israel?? This is a 2024 video, so surely these things existed at the time of the video?

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Sweden has indeed undergone significant changes over the years, and immigration has been a topic of intense debate. While crime rates have shifted in certain areas, it’s worth noting that many factors contribute to societal changes, including economic conditions, urbanization, and policy decisions. Travel experiences can vary greatly depending on time, location, and personal perspective. Appreciate you joining the conversation!

I visited Rome last week. It was so overcrowded. All the buses were full and running late so we decided to take an underground metro. As soon as we reached there, some guys started screaming and running out of the station. We had no clue what's happening and there was so much chaos. It was so horrible that I scared to death. My husband and I were trying hard to get our 3 year old son out of the station safely who was sleeping in a stroller. People were pushing each other in order to make a way out. There was such a mess that my son fell down from stroller and got injury in his mouth. We somehow managed to come out of the station. Some people around us told that there was something burning in a metro. Later we realized that it was a scam by some idiots and it wasn't true. Those 10 minutes were the worst of my life and felt like I was in hell. I decided not to visit Rome again in my life.

[@freedomofspeech766]

I live in Rome and I am terrified every time I have to get the underground. It’s full of gangs of criminals who rob you as you are getting on and off the train and because it’s so overcrowded, they run off among the crowd making it impossible to grab a hold of them. I can only imagine the terrible fear of being there with a child

I believe, that they are no less dangerous than let’s say Belgium or France. It must be hard to narrow them down to just 10!

[@jonrogers4665]

Trust America to report these countries when America should be number one on the list.

[@VirtualTravelBrian]

That’s an understandable perspective! The U.S. does face significant challenges like gun violence, organized crime, and safety concerns in certain cities, which often make headlines worldwide. However, this video specifically focuses on recent events and travel risks within Europe. Safety is a global issue, and no country is completely free of challenges. It’s always important to stay informed and cautious, no matter where you go. Your point highlights how safety concerns are not limited to one region-thank you for sharing your thoughts!

The attitude you have on a vacation is half the battle of enjoying yourself. Americans if you expect any other country to be just like America you have already set yourself up for a bad vacation when you start complaining your phone plug doesn't work in Europe...lol....just research where you are going & read about the places you will visit...it's not that hard to get great travel tips & how to pack for a trip or cruise...there are thousands on YT alone.

Sweden has its own charm with its archipelagos and countless scenic waterways, but fjords definitely belong to Norway’s resume of natural wonders.

While Ethiopia may not face the same issues as some wealthier nations, it’s also a place of incredible culture, history, and resilience.

Stay vigilant wherever you go but enjoy the sights and experiences which can be nothing short of amazing. Germany is also not what it used to be. You need to be careful there. With border issues and organized crime everywhere, it touches Germany and others not on the list as well. I found it rather strange to even include Ukraine on the list as it should be quite obvious that this should be off limits for travelers at the time unfortunately.

[@stanemarchiotti6306]

Dear Brian, here my experience. I am 71 years old, I have been working in tourism since my early youth. I have traveled - especially now in my mature years - the whole of Europe from Porto in Portugal to Russia, also over the Urals, the USA, Asia, Singapore, Thailand and there are many more to mention. I have not been to Latin America, Australia or Greenland. But I can say from my own experience that I have never felt as safe anywhere as in my homeland Slovenia, further in the Swiss Confederation, Austria and Russia! USA, France, Germany have changed a lot for the worse in the last 20 years and the increase in crime is incredible. But on the first 3 fav. places for me are; CH, Russia and Austria! Stay safe!

Are you serious? Italy has one of the lowest homicide rate in the World: 0,4. For comparison, in the USA is 6,2. Should I say more?

[@VirtualTravelBrian]

You’re absolutely right-Italy does have a very low homicide rate compared to many countries, including the U.S. The safety concerns mentioned in the video are more focused on issues like organized crime, petty theft, and scams, particularly in tourist-heavy areas. While violent crime is rare, pickpocketing in places like Rome or Naples is unfortunately quite common and can still impact the overall travel experience. Italy is still an amazing destination, and statistics like the one you shared highlight how perceptions of safety can vary depending on what we focus on. Thank you for pointing this out!

[@VirtualTravelBrian]

Thank you for sharing your perspective and personal experience! It’s great to hear that you’ve had such positive and safe experiences in Europe. The video’s intent isn’t to suggest that every traveler will encounter issues, but to highlight specific risks or incidents that have been reported, such as pickpocketing in tourist-heavy areas or organized crime activities. It’s true that many safety concerns can be avoided by staying aware and using common sense-something experienced travelers like yourself clearly understand. As for comparisons with the U.S., every region has its unique challenges, and mass shootings in America are indeed a deeply troubling issue. The key takeaway here is that no place is entirely free of risks, but with the right precautions, travel can still be safe and enjoyable. Thank you for reminding us of that important balance!

Yes, in Belgium, as in other countries, we have problems that are related to drugtrafficing. and we do have demonstrations against some government actions, that only confirm our democracy; . But we never ever (I repeat: NEVER) had a school shooting, and Belgians did never attack their own House of Parliament. Should I say more?

[@RetiroSierra]

We had a knife attack on toddlers, several terror attacks and Brussels is a dump.

[@VirtualTravelBrian]

You raise an excellent point! While Belgium does face challenges like drug trafficking and political demonstrations, it's true that certain issues, such as school shootings or attacks on parliamentary institutions, are thankfully not part of the country's reality. Demonstrations, as you mentioned, can be a sign of a healthy democracy when done peacefully. No place is perfect, but Belgium's stability in these areas is certainly something to appreciate. Every country has its struggles, but also its strengths-thank you for sharing this perspective!

[@RetiroSierra]

@@philipspeelmans3381 It is nice to be kind about your own country. Though leaving out a stabbing spree on toddlers, terror attacks, and the danger of walking around Brussels, outside of the touristy area, or how the Palace of Justice is still in scaffoldings after 40 years etc etc do also deserve a mention.

You're absolutely right-many European countries do issue travel advisories for large U.S. cities, just as the U.S. does for destinations abroad. It’s a reminder that safety concerns exist everywhere, and it’s not just a one-sided narrative. Whether it’s crime in urban areas or social unrest, every country has its challenges. Staying informed and exercising caution is key no matter where you’re traveling. It’s a global village, and travel safety is something we all need to prioritize!

[@davidpritchard604]

Many European tourists, not being locals, find themselves in bad neighborhood and fall victim to crime that locals would have avoided. This can happen anywhere though. There was a time when foreign tourists where targeted and robbed in south Florida because they drove rental cars marked as such. This is no longer the case as the rental car companies have since made their cars less conspicuous.

While cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans have their charm, it’s no secret they come with their own challenges, too. Safety is often about knowing the area, being aware, and taking the right precautions-whether you’re close to home or exploring abroad.

Södertäljen sairaalan akuuttivastaanoton ovi on kiinni ja siellä pitää seistä ulkona odottamassa vuoroaan, sisään pääsee yksitellen. Tämä siksi, että jengit ovat jahdanneet kilpailevan jengin ammuttuja sisälle sairaalaan ampuakseen nämä hengiltä. Ambulansseilla on siellä sisäänpääsy, joka on aina suljettu. Kuljettaja avaa oven oven kaukosäätimellä ja joskus ambulanssien perässä on kilpailevan jengin autoja, joista ammutaan ambulanssin sisään jotta kuljetteva potilas kuolisi. Samalla voi mennä hoitajatkin, mutta se ei niitä häiritse. Ruotsin laissa, jos alaikäinen tekee murhan, niin maksimi on 4 vuotta vankeutta. Jengeillä on sanonta: Ota 4 vuotta, niin saat 100%.

The problem is that tourists often travel with pink glasses, they forget that the countries visited are real countries with real people with real issues. Heaven on earth just does not exist. European cities, like all cities worldwide, have good and bad neighborhoods, they attract demonstrations and crime. In addition, overtourism has unfortunately destroyed too many places in Europe. Besides having to deal with crowds, touristic areas naturally attract pickpockets and scammers. As far as Europe goes (I'm a dual national, French and Belgian), I'd suggest that nowadays, if you want to experience the real countries, you avoid the cities and go to the countryside and small towns. Anyway, overall Europe remains a safer place than many countries in the world, including the US; the average rate of violent crime is much lower in Europe than in the US.

Reading some comments, I've realized how disconnected some people can be from reality. As a European currently living in the USA, I concur with the cautions highlighted in this video.

However, the world is evolving; nothing remains constant. Every location has its set of challenges and victories, advantages and disadvantages, making it crucial to stay informed and realistic. I've visited several of the mentioned places (fortunately, my country wasn't listed, but I wouldn't boast about it). There are some really dark things going on in Europe, which are not even mentioned in this video. My heart goes out to Europeans in some of these nations; after all, part of the current situation is not their fault.

The intention of the video was to highlight risks for travelers, but as you pointed out, some deeper issues often go unspoken.
