People Are Sharing The Worst Places They Ever Visited And These 46 Are Really Bad

in my Bundesland/"state" it's obligatory in certain school levels

That's a picture from Auschwitz

The OP says "Within those fences, it was weirdly silent. There was no sound of birds, or bugs; not so much as a stir of breeze. I remember the term *unhallowed* occurring to me." - that wasn't exactly my experience, but that's what it's like - *unhallowed* is exactly right. I visited one such camp when I was a lot younger. The experience stays with you.

Went to Dachau in 77. Went again in 91 and most of horrific videos and photos were gone. Be aware of sanitizing this place over time.

While on a trip near another concentration camp, Mauthausen, we decided to drive there. We did not go inside, just stayed in the parking lot.It was nice summer day, and objetively it was beautiful there, immaculate lawn, beautiful trees, blue sky, the sun was shining, and the walls of the camp could be mistaken for medieval castle walls. Still, there was something eerie there, a sort of heaviness in the air. Most likely it's just the knowledge about what happened there and nothing supernatural, but still.

Thanks for the tip.

But you can hire a shp that has done the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

Clearly never been to Scunthorpe then.

Send your droids instead.

From d*ath camps to this?

This one is the worst on this list for me, had to come back and comment. Dachau is in the past, and others of similar "vibe" aren't as specific as this one. Feels weird to upvote something this depressing, but this is the Worst of the Bad list.

Especially as a woman who want to visit the r**e capital of the world?

Omg that is so heartbreaking

I can imagine. Haiti is a failed state, reading alone the travel advice of my government (Germany) feels like reading a dystopin novella mixed with elements of horror.

Haiti is almost completely controlled by gangs.

I went to Labadee with a cruise back in 2014 (Royal Caribbean). Once off the ship, we did an excursion to see what life was like there. It was an amazing tour. Once back to the "main area," there were local Haitians selling goods and wares. I didn't have any cash on me so I avoided the shops for the most part. We walked close to one and the man working inside started to get my attention to come shop and I said and quite literally meant that i didn't have 0 dollars and he lost it on me. Like had to be held back saying it was HE who had zero dollars. It scared me a little but quite soon after it I really realized I was able to witness the fight for survival and frustration at once. I simply wish them peace and prosperity.

The whole southeastern U.S. is problematic. The only good things it ever produced are music, food, and bourbon. Those things are portable. (And incidentally, the food and music were mostly created by Black people—you know, the people that yt southerners wanted to keep as slaves.) In fact, they wanted free forced labour so much that they fought a war over it. They lost the war, and they’ve spent the past 150 years since then sulking like resentful teenagers and dragging the whole country down.

I live in Alabama and I wish I could afford to move anywhere else. I hate the heat and humidity.

My best friend growing up was traveling, driving from Texas to Florida in the early 80s. His family of 5 were stopped at a 'toll' in Alabama by K*K 'collecting donations' while blocking the road and standing there with bats and shotguns. So yeah, I can understand what the OP is saying. For me, Baltimore was the worst. Lived there for 7 years, both in downtown and outside the city. It was the most divided place I've experienced. Rich/poor, black/white, with not much room for in between. I was a grad student that had to do site analysis in the poorer, inner-city. We had locals approach us telling us to get the f**k out or we would be k****d. They said our deaths would not be the issue but the aftermath of the cops coming into their neighborhood was an unwanted result.

Stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again

I suspect this pretty much falls true for any US city with population over 500k, possibly even over 250k. Yes, there are good and bad everywhere, but I can't think of any city I've been to with a population over 250k where I actually felt safe. And the worst of them all are the ones that are supposedly gun free. Because then only the criminals are armed.

Maybe we should all visit a refugee camp. See what trying to survive looks like.

My mum said when you get to your new country, they treat you like you're stupid to.

Been there. Overwhelming. Shocking.

Could someone explain why there are body parts in the river and human ashes raining down on you?

Did a day trip there when I was in Egypt and we were harassed non stop.

You haven't seen half of it, man. In Egypt, I've gotten catcalled so much, got robbed from, and some guy tried kidnapping my sister. And this is in one of the cleanest cities in Egypt (I'm Egyptian too, so imagine what happens to foreigners...)

I spent a month travelling around Egypt 20 years ago. it is an amazing country and met some amazing people. But we got tired of the constant hassling and blatant harrassment of my blond girlfriend

I loved Egypt, except for Giza, though as a pedestrian, I found the traffic in Cairo really hard to take. Can't wait to go back, though, preferably outside the larger cities. Had no problems anywhere with thieves, just hucksters, but those you can easily say no to.

Egypt has its nice points. I traveled via local routes and made a lot of friends. Join some of the women and you will not be harassed. Felucca rides in the moonlight is also magical and not a scammer in sight.
