If you dare to travel to these cities, make sure you are with someone else. It’s always better to have two sets of eyes looking out. This offers increased safety and protection against the unknown.As The Active Times explores the most dangerous cities to travel alone, it listed Mexico City as being number one based on kidnapping, robberies and assaults. In fact, it went so far as stating that the "U.S. Department of State issued a warning about traveling to certain places in Mexico due to threats and safety."
Number two on the list? Detroit.
The Active Times writes "Although Detroit is trying to make a comeback; it is still considered one of the most dangerous cities. Robberies, sexual assaults, murders, break-ins and drugs are controlling the streets."

I'm not scared of the unknown-- we all know what we're going to run into in these cities. It's not the unknown!
I took a wrong interstate exit and landed in East St Louis.
National Lampoon’s “Vacation” didn’t tell the half of it.
apparently, you ran into the unknown
Detroit should be fenced in and guns should be air dropped in.
That being said, however -- and apologies in advance to any Michigan FReepers out there -- I wouldn't visit Detroit again unless I was actually piloting my own personal, full-sized Transformer. ;)
I don’t think Optimus Prime would stand a chance
Entire dangerous continents are somehow missing from this list.
That was forty years ago, so I can’t imagine what it must be like now. This country is in dire straits.
Like Avis try harder Detroit. Mexico City is within striking distance.
Great advice. Luckily, I don’t travel any more (take that, TSA).
“Where did we go wrong?” Mogadishu city fathers lament ...
the elite of yesteryear wanted slaves for labor, today’s elites want the illegals. The common 99% of the rest of us does not benefit and has to live with the used farm equipment. But that’s what the piano wire is for I reckon’
1. Everywhere that took in refugees from “Syria”.
Baltimore and New Orleans?
Oh and Camden, NJ where even cops fear to tread.
Oh, I love travelling. I just don't like violent cities that are in the way between me and my destination. Also I love flying, the being in the air part.

I will drive out of my way to go around Memphis. That’s the only city on the list I would ever have a reason to near in the future.
Make it into a movie. Call it Escape From Detroit.
You’ve never been to Pine Bluff...
