Alarm mood for travelers: the most dangerous holiday destinations in Europe!

Marseille, Frankreich - Vacation in popular destinations such as Italy, Spain and Greece has been very popular with German tourists for decades. But the high number of tourists, especially in the summer months, often lead to overcrowded inner cities. However, travelers should also find out about the security situation in these destinations. A current statistics from "Numbo" shows that crime is high in many popular holiday cities.

The "crime index" evaluates the danger of different places for tourists. The situation in some European cities is particularly alarming. Marseille in France is considered particularly dangerous, not least because of a high murder rate. Italian cities such as Catania, Rome and Bari are also known for frequent pickpockets and expensive rip off during taxi rides. In France, Nice and Montpellier also have to deal with a high crime rate, while in Greece the big cities of Athens and Thessaloniki are affected by strikingly high crime. Travelers should therefore consider alternative vacation options to find safer.

The most dangerous cities in Europe

The security considerations among travelers are increasingly important. The Numbo crime index shows the most dangerous cities in Europe, based on surveys of over 100,000 participants worldwide. The index evaluates cities after crime rate. The ratings are divided into the following categories:

• 20-40: Low
• 40-60: moderate
• 60-80: high

The top 10 most dangerous cities in Europe are according to the crime index:

Bradford, for example, is faced with concerns about drug use, burglaries and robberies. In Marseille, the crime rate is particularly high due to drug offenses, while Catania is considered dangerous, due to corruption and bribery. With a crime index of 44.7, Frankfurt takes 53 place with a crime index of 44.7. In contrast, Munich is one of the safest German cities with an index of only 18.8.

It should be emphasized that the crime index is based on subjective opinions and not on official crime data. In addition, differences in the distribution and report of crimes between countries can affect the data.
