Karachi has been ranked the second riskiest city for tourists.

The city scored 93.12 out of 100, placing it just behind Venezuela’s Caracas (100) and ahead of Myanmar’s Yangon (91.67), according to a recent report by Forbes Advisor.

Several factors contribute to Karachi’s high-risk ranking, including significant personal security risks due to crime, violence, and terrorist threats.

The US State Department has issued a Level 3 travel advisory for Karachi, recommending travelers to “reconsider travel” due to safety concerns.

Additionally, the report cites concerns about the city’s infrastructure.

Karachi has also repeatedly appeared on lists of “unlivable” cities, including a 2017 ranking by the Economist Intelligence Unit that placed it among the top five least livable urban centers in the world.

Despite these challenges, Karachi remains a vibrant and diverse city with much to offer visitors. However, tourists should be aware of the potential risks and take appropriate precautions to ensure their safety.

The report recommends avoiding traveling alone, especially at night, and being aware of surroundings.
