5 Most Dangerous Cities in Europe

3. Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi’s high crime rates are not structural but circumstantial. The city has had consistent unrest and violent protests ever since the war of 2008 between Georgia and Russia. The consistent turmoil has led to an increase in crime rate due to worsening law and order. In 2016, of all the crimes that were reported in Georgia, 40.5% occurred in Tbilisi alone. According to osac, drug related crimes and presence of street gangs is pretty common in Tbilisi, with terrorism also being a cause of concern, particularly for US travelers. Violent crime usually spikes during protests as opportunities present themselves with criminals taking advantage of the protests.
