8Naples, Italy

Naples’ beauty is undeniable, but so is its reputation for disorder. The influence of the Camorra, combined with petty theft and motorbike snatch-and-grab incidents, places it on many “least safe” lists.

Tourists must be cautious around train stations, busy markets, and certain alleys in the historic center. That said, locals often insist the city is misunderstood — vibrant, chaotic, but rarely threatening if you stay aware.
