It's time to plan your vacation: A new crime ranking shows which cities are best to avoid on your next trip.
Munich – For many people, planning their summer vacation starts in the cold and rainy months.
And like every time, the question arises: Where to?
A new ranking can help you decide where you shouldn't go on vacation - and if you do, with preparation.
Crime index: These are the most dangerous cities
How dangerous a city is depends particularly on the crime index.
Measured according to the feelings of the residents.
The research company “Numbeo” has compiled a list of the cities with the highest crime – with four cities in South Africa in the top ten.
The Venezuelan capital Caracas tops the list of the most crime-ridden places.
Followed by the three South African cities of Pretoria, Durban and Johannesburg.
South Africa has become a popular holiday destination, especially in recent years, especially Cape Town (15th place).
For comparison: the leader, Caracas in Venezuela, has a crime index of 82.2, according to
Numbeo
.
Berlin, on the other hand, has an index of 44.11 and Munich of 20.95.
According to residents, the city of Carcas in Venezuela is the city with the highest crime rate.

Ranking: Crime index based on surveys of residents
But there is a reassuring factor if one of the cities is a dream travel destination.
Individually you can experience the city differently.
After all, the ranking is not based on crimes that have actually been committed, but only on how city residents feel.
They are asked at regular intervals how they feel about crime in the city.
