I disagree, i live in São Paulo and i feel way safer than whenever i am in Rio, which is almost every week( i travel to Rio for business). Rio has favelas everywhere. You go to Leblon, favelas, Urca, favelas, Botafogo, favelas. In Rio favelas have blent into the city itself. Vitoria for example is know or at least was known to be very violent. Yet , there are several neighborhoods(Barro Vermelho , Santa Luíza, Santa Helena, Mata da Praia ,Jardim da penha...etc) casted way from fravelas

Australia is relatively safe, but some pockets in around the suburbs of Sydney can be a bit menacing:

*Eastern suburbs (around Matraville, Darlinghurst and Cronulla)
*Scattered parts of western suburbs, especially near train stations (Mount Druitt, Blacktown, Rooty Hill, Cabramatta, Bankstown, Auburn and Lidcombe)

I've personally felt more uncomfortable in the eastern suburbs. Some folks walking there looked like failed science experiments - Darlinghurst had some creepy people strolling the streets.

Really? I thought for sure Buenaventura would be much higher than that

Among big cities yes, it's easily Cali

But living in Brazil Rio wins hands down. The other cities that i mentioned above, violence is restricted to specific areas whereas in Rio everywhere you go, you are too close to Slums and violence
Pretty much any city in Northeast Brazil could challenge for the title sadly. In 2014 the highest rate was in Joao Pessoa, in 2015 the highest rate was Fortaleza

The topic is about being dangerous, not about having favelas.
(They're all over Brazil)

Working in Rio, guiding foreing visitors is my job and I never had any scary situation. I go to all these places and I don't go to favelas.
But there are lots of tourists that wanna go and hire tours to visit them.
(Not to say that the neighbourhoods you mentioned are not favelas, actualy they are fancy areas, what makes me believe you´re lying) (And the post that I contested wasn't comparing Rio to São Paulo either)

I've never been to Australia, but it's hard to imagine somewhere violent there. For world's standards, these probably are as safe as mama's home.

Idk, I always imagined Australia as being a bit more dangerous than your average Developed country. Their accent, the fact that the wildlife is actively trying to kill you, and the famous people from there. Mile Jedinak seems like someone who would really **** you up if you accidentally spill his Fosters


Rio seems a place like Chicago, or maybe a pre-Giuliani New York. Like you have some of the most ****ed up parts of the country there, but it also has so much business and rich high class areas so the average homicide rate evens out. Cities like Fortaleza or Maceio don't have all those posh super rich areas, just the part right on the beach looks very rich but you go even a couple of blocks inland and you run into some very poor areas

France: Marseille. Most dangerous city in Europe, isn't it?
Marseille has the same crime rate than Lille and is less dangerous than Nimes or Avignon for instance.
If we compare it with the USA, it would be the safest big city in the USA!
And if we compare it with other cities in Europe.
Turin(IT), Rome(IT), Naples(IT), Bari(IT), Manchester(UK), Birmingham(UK), Rotterdam(Ne), Dublin(Ir), Moscow(Ru), Coventry(UK), Nottingham (UK), Brussels(Br)...are much more dangerous.

There are 20 settlement of accounts a year in Marseille on average. There are 20 each week in most major US cities!
But when you have one in Marseille, the world knows it...When you have one in a US city, it is just a normal day so no one speaks about it.

Stop watching all dumb American TV.

So being near a favela automatically equates to danger? Hmmm, them most LA cities would be considered dangerous.
