Top 10 Most Dangerous Countries In Europe

The Top Ten
1 Albania Albania is a southeastern European country that is slightly larger than Maryland and near Montenegro, Kosovo, Republic of Macedonia, and Greece. The capital is a city called Tirana. Some other major cities in Albania are Durrës, Elbasan, Vlorë, and Shkodër. Albania gained its independence in 1912. ...read more.

I am Albanian. I can undoubtedly say that most of the Albanians are inconsiderate and ignorant, possessing almost no civic education. They can't drive, can't speak or write coherently, have no self respect or self awareness and have extremely low standards and expectations. Tirana, the capital, is a hell hole, the product of a childish narcissistic mayor, now prime minister, where every space is occupied by buildings, creating the perfect labyrinth. It lacks public spaces, sidewalks, green spaces, road signs, and cars drive and park wherever they please. Whenever there's heavy rain there's flooding. People spend most of their time and money in cafes, gossiping and complaining about the government or other Albanians, while behaving the same way. Albanians love honking. They honk to salute, they honk when overtaking other cars, a couple of seconds before the traffic light turns green or just out of habit. If you live in a densely populated area, I suggest you use ear plugs, for there's ...more

I'am Albanian as well. I lived in Albania for quite some time. The stereotype of albanians is they are dirty, terrible, nasty people. While there are some gangs, like every country has, you will only find those in very,very little places. I will admit Albanian government is little bit corrupt, bu we aren't that bad. We rank 37th in Life Expectancy, higher than a bunch of EU countries, we are in NATO, soon in the EU, our Male Literacy rate is 99.8% and for Women is 99.1%. And Please, why Albania first? At Least Albanian people are stable, Ukraine has a practical civil war, Kosovo is poor and might go into anarchy, Russia is corrupt 100 times more than Albania. We have nice cuisine and beautiful people. Don't Listen to those rage comments about Albania, one you go to Albania for a Week, maybe near Greece or Montenegro, you will love it. We have nice beaches, and malls, and decent schools. We are good.

There's no dirtier land in Europe other than Analbania. Analbanian people are the biggest pile of crap in the Balkans, and also in the entire continent.

Italians were so idiot invading this childish ottoman 100% artificial culture that adopted nonsense from gypsies (magjup) and mujahideen. And then disgraced analbanians dedicate to expand cancer-hiv/aids to other countries too. For example in zones like Kosovo, Epirus, Western Macedonia or Bari.

I prefer Russians, Serbs or Greeks, that do exercise every day and have hot girlfriends. Because analbanians spend their days lying with mistreated goats and cannot say their own name. Even watching their stupid eagle with the hat of a goat makes me poke. Blergh...

Albania is the africa in europe! albania has twice the murder rate of russia, the fewest iq, the highest animal abuse rate, one of the worst road connections and the most mercedes benz robbings per capita.

also to note albania is the only country in europe that practices honor killings, allows persecuting people because of their religion and practices polygamy (turkey is not europe).

2 Russia Russia, or the Russian Federation (RF), is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across ...read more.

People, don't mess with Russians. I am Russian, I live in the U.S., but I am highly patriotic. A lot of us are. People say that Russia in general is like a bear - if you don't bother it, everything will be fine and peaceful, but if you do, you better watch out as it's going to defend itself and its territory. I agree that Russia is dangerous, but that's because the other countries annoy the bear.

Russia. It's Corrupt, doesn't let the people choose their leaders, if you are against the government they jail you. Russia is like North Korea but it is slightly better, and every day Russia harms peace, bringing in soldiers to Ukraine and plans to annex belarus, and it invaded parts of Georgia

It's a corrupt country with a selfish leader. Since I'm Ukrainian, I'm not a big fan of the fact that Russia is trying to takeover Eastern Ukraine.

Wow Albania first? SO its less safe than Kosovo (worse albania) Ukraine(civil war basically) and moldova(poorest nation in europe) I call BS List

3 Ukraine Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second-largest European country, covering approximately 600,000 square kilometres (230,000 sq mi), and has a population of around 40 million people. It is bordered by Russia to the east and northeast; by Belarus to the north; by Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west; and by Romania and Moldova to the southwest; with a coastline along the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to the south and southeast, respectively. Kyiv is Ukraine's capital as well as its largest city. The country's language is Ukrainian, and many people are also fluent in Russian.

Ukraine is 1st in corruption, 3rd last in life expectancy, 3rd in poverty, 2nd in crime rate, 2nd last in quality of life, the only european country with a ongoing war on its soil, the holodomor, very poor infrastructure, constant political strife and just overall not very nice.

Ukraine a nutshell: Sasha, let's go back home! Oh wait, it got destroyed by shelling. Damn Ukrainians!

I might be wrong, but I think Ukraine is dangerous cause of Crimea and how Russians are fighting with the Ukrainians

This is all because of russia guys,most of the news about ukraine is fake,and the war is started by russia

4 Turkey Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, ...read more.

I travelled once around Turkey. And I can say people are absolute maniacs, and of course not secular at all. Istanbul is the only city I would call "secular". But this doesn't remove, for example, horribly miseducated youth stalking blonde girls in the street or intruding in garages to steal the most expensive german cars. In the part of Anatolia most people are sympathizers of extreme Islamism and I couldn't say my religion nor my opinion about Turkey. Yes, that is true. It's actually the worst country I travelled to. I once got almost kidnapped too. I now can imagine how bad would be Middle East.

Since all that happened to me, I no longer consider Turkey as Europe, it is more similar to Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia than, for example, Greece.

Well the european part of turkey is quite safe, and the rest is not in europe

Lots of shooting and bombs in Istanbul and a couple of crimson Ankara.

The most hated place in europe

5 Bosnia and Herzegovina

What!? It got in the top 10 of countries with the safest kids

Why is this country on this list?

Very dangerous!

6 Macedonia North Macedonia is a landlocked southeastern European country. It borders Greece to the south, Albania to the west, Bulgaria to the east, and Serbia and Kosovo to the north. It has a population of over 2 million people which are a mixture of Macedonians, Albanians, and Serbians. Macedonian is the official language of the country. North Macedonia has many beautiful forests, lakes, and old structures. The capital city is Skopje.

War criminals, drug dealers, murderers, organ traffickers, car thieves, street fighters, arms traffickers & human traffickers: Welcome to Macedonia.

Too many drug dealers, more like every 5th person you see on the street.
In many towns it's peaceful but lacks police protection, you'll see people on bikes/cars driving at 200+ km/h on streets where there can be children playing.

The Bulgarian, slavic Maskedonskija has nothing to do with Ancient Macedon, the fact that they believe otherwise makes them very dangerous.

I live here its not that bad the only bad thing here is that there's idots here

7 Bulgaria Bulgaria, officially the Republic of Bulgaria, was established in 681 ad. and since then it never changed it's name, which makes it one of the oldest countries in Europe. Located in the Balkan Peninsula between Greece, Turkey, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia and Black Sea. The Capital of Bulgaria is Sofia, ...read more.

Watch out when you decide to go in Bulgaria by car: THEY STEAL CARS! Bulgarians are no. 1 in Europe concerning car theft. Nothing unusual if you go to take a piss and find no car when you return. There is a car stealing mafia, organised and controlled in joint-venture with the local police. If you have no full-insurance, never visit Bulgaria with your car. Stolen cars in Bulgaria have been reported to be found in other parts of the world. They usually steal your car in minutes, disassembly it into pieces and then sell them on the black market. Bulgarians are not to be trusted. Watch out when you EAT in Bulgaria too: there have been reported numerous cases of alimentary toxic-infection all year round, but mostly during summer in beach resorts. It is a corrupt country full of burglars and desperate profit-digging people.

P.S. There is some good aspect too: Only in Bulgaria girls ask for 5-10 euros to offer oral sex. And I'm not talking about prostitutes.

Terrible roads, houses that are falling down & miserable people..
It's got the lot!

Bulgaria is run by the mafia- true fact

Really is controlled by the mafia

8 Greece Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, is a country in Southeast Europe. It is situated on the southern tip of the Balkans, and is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Too many pickpockets. Possible robbery near Roma termini station and Naples. Many streets are very dangerous. The Italian police never try to help you if something happens.

I came from Italy, There is many Mafia and robbery pickpockets etc, I also from one of Mafia. I still know how we murder and escape from Police or Naval SWAT.

Mafia everywhere but no one will tell you, too much afraid.

I have lived in Serbia all my life and I used to be robbed. The police can easily pay for only 10 euros. Good thing. All the biggest mobsters are known.

They are world champions in lying. Full of hate, especially towards Croatia.

Un human like Genocide nation, fascists, racists and murderers

The Contenders
11 Sweden Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe. It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east, and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third-largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of 10 million.

It's not that dangerous, but years of irresponsible management under the Social Democrats and Reinfeldt-Moderates have tarnished what was once one of the safest countries in the world. You'd be sorry if you walked out in the night in the cities, or for that matter, out in any of the suburbs at all. The countryside is still safe, and daytime there aren't too many issues, but it's safe to say it's the worst country in Northern Europe

Sweden is not dangerous. All you need to make sure of is to use the buddy system when bringing your kids here.

Mass immigration, mass raping mass crimes evil place to live was great now it's a hell hole

Its extreme violence and murders everyday most be on the number 1

Safe, reliable country. But the people are kind of a drag. I'm German and a lot of the people are turds. Like they have computer chips instead of brains. I guess that's why they are so techy.

I am Lithuanian, too much crime. Beautiful nature and amazing food but a lot of Lithuanians are very ignorant and are not exactly the kindest people. It's just not safe here

Lithuania has one of the highest homicide rates in the European Union due to alcohol and mentality of people.

There is also a lot of drug trafficking and robbery and more crime in the uk

The first known use of the appellation was attested in the 16th century by Italian humanists travelling in Transylvania, Moldavia, and Wallachia

Lived there for 4 years. The Romanians are poor but mostly friendly welcoming people. The ones you need to watch out for are the Romani. These are travellers of Indian decent and have most of the wealth, mainly down to begging and crime. If a Romanian is involved in crime its usually through necessity to survive. However I was once beat up in a bookies by the owner and 3 other guys for winning on a few dog races.

Bucharest, Romania �" Violent and organised crime is quite low in Romania's capital, but the city ranked 79th because of widespread corruption and petty crime.

18 Ireland Formed in 1916 after the Easter uprising, Ireland is a small country with a population of roughly 5 million.

Ireland has become very dangerous over the last 10 years mainly in city’s like Dublin Cork and Limerick due to drugs and increased crime rates there are people being robbed and murdered every day. It is very common for people as young as 13 to go missing and be found dead a few days later.

Ireland isn't dangerous! Well it depends where you go, but it's mostly safe!

Murders and kidnapping very frequent missing people

21 Hungary Hungary is a sovereign state in Europe. It is situated in the Carpathian Basin and is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Romania to the east, Serbia to the south, Croatia to the southwest, Slovenia to the west, Austria to the northwest, and Ukraine to the northeast.

The murder rate in Hungary is more than double than in the Western European countries, but it is still lower than in the US, and gunpoint is very rare too, they use knives and axes. Beware of pickpocket on public transport, never leave anything in the car, don't walk with phone in the hand. Villages in the north-eastern part should be absolutely avoided, due to street justice and lynching.

Racist, homophobic, alcoholic, intolerant, neo-nazi, need I say more? Let's not forget how easily you can get your hands on drugs, just ask the nearest homeless person, which you find on literally every street corner. Human trafficking is an issue too, especially in Budapest. Pick a better country, seriously. (this is coming from a Hungarian who's lived here for years unfortunately.)

Dangerous especially Budapest, full with offensive rude racist jerks.

Because of refugees,Hungary has kind of become a unsafe city. Espically Budapest
