Roaming around the world and experiencing diverse cultures is a great way to spend your vacation time, or even years of your life pursuing, but travel brings with it the risk of unwittingly happening upon one of the most dangerous cities in the world to visit.

Likewise, as you’ll see from the many aerial shots of some of the most dangerous cities in the world to visit, right here in our list, most cities can look quite charming from the air, even when they’re located in some of the most dangerous countries in the world like Colombia, and Kenya.
