Unfriendliest Cities for Foreigners
blog (February 20, 2009)
Neither Rio de Janeiro nor Sao Paulo made the list of unfriendliest cities for foreigners, according to LowFares.com’s Caution While Traveling column. Amazing at is seems, these well-known Brazilian danger zones do not compare to Los Angeles, New York, London, Moscow, or a number of other unfriendly cities around the world.
Of course, unfriendly could mean everything from bad manners to all-out danger. Paris, while known for being unfriendly (especially to Americans), is a fairly safe city, while Mexico City is among the more dangerous cities around, even though the service is excellent there.
Either way you look at it, the LowFares.com list is interesting and insightful. Check out their low travel fares while you’re there. And for an up-to-date report on safety in Sao Paulo, Brazil, check out the Overseas Security Advisory Council’s Report on the matter.
