Locky Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Outwith Britain, what neighbourhoods or suburbs are considered as pretty nawty? Have a bit of fun on Google street view when I'm bored but everywhere I go on it seems to be lovely. Quite fancy going on having a look at some proper dumps as I feel like I'm living in a cesspit. I've found it extremely easy to find names of rough neighbourhoods in USA etc. But none for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 A few pretty hairy looking areas on the edges of Paris. And some bits of Moscow look like no go areas. I'd imagine places like Naples and Marseille have problem areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Sarcelles in northern Paris used to have a bad reputation. There are areas of eastern Berlin such as Marzahn that I wouldn't feel that enthusiastic about being an obvious tourist in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin Delano Bluth Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would hazard a guess at the old Eastern Bloc countries having pretty nasty places. I suppose Chernobyl would be pretty bad, there's an obvious reason why though. The places above look the exact same though, abandoned dumps. Like Leith, but more modern and forward thinking.

Gorgiewave Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 There is a place south of Madrid that mght ne described as a shanty town. Ramshackle hpuse made of cardboard and mattresses that is also the main drug dealing place in Madrid, if not in Spain. I've never been, but whenever I see it on TV, it's because there's been a police raid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd imagine that some parts of Athens would be pretty rough, when you have a 'needle alley' on a side street off one of the main squares I dread to think what some of the suburbs would be like! Would imagine some of the Eastern Block countries like Romania would have some pretty hairy neighborhoods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester™ Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've just read an article in The Blizzard about Zlatan Ibrahimovic - the Rosengard district of Malmo sounds lovely. Whoever said Bratislava is a wee bit wide of the mark. Some of it clearly looks like a former Eastern Bloc country, but I thought most of it was fairly decent. Even the 'dodgy' parts I felt fairly ok about walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ferentari, Bucharest looks lovely. When I first looked at the pictures above I thought it was the streets that used to lead up to Parkhead that they knocked down to build the new sports facilities for the Commonwealth Games. However on second glance the streets above are actually in better nick, and have less satellite dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gordons Gloves Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 There is an area in Baltimore, not too far from downtown that is horrific, we took a wrong turn one night and went from downtown buildings into what could only be described as the ghetto. Lots of guys, listlessly hanging round on cheap chairs on porches suddenly became very interested in the nearly new SUV (rental) carrying 4 white boys and girls. I've also driven through some proper downbeat neighborhoods in Philly. Fortunately it was day time as i would have hated to have been going through there at night - bloody GPS doesn't always take you the safest route... Looking at some of those pictures above, it's horrific how people actually live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangest question I ever heard. I reckon there are parts of Naples where you could hide bodies/stolen cars for decades without plod even coming close to finding them. Sprawls for miles. As someone who has never left Britain and in fact, has only left Scotland 4 or 5 times, I'm very curious to find out more about cultures and lifestyles etc. In mainland Europe. I don't have much interest in travelling anywhere outside of Europe with the exception of USA. But, I'd really love to visit a whole number of countries across the EU. And I don't really want the touristy holidays either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1998 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Las Tres Mil in the otherwise wonderful city of Seville. Built in the 60s to "rehouse" gipsies from the central area of Triana, it became a rat-infested, drug-sodden hell hole. If you can get a taxi driver to take you there, however, you'll find the best flamenco music in Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Have to agree with those who have said Naples. Place is an absolute shithole. One of the only times in my life I've not felt safe while out drinking was in Napoli. I remember being out partying in Berlin once and we were getting the train back from a club about 10am and we accidentally got off the train at a stop called Wedding. It was clearly a horribly deprived area. As we got out of the station, there were a gang of about 10 African black guys drinking 40s and playing dice sitting on the kerb. One of them spotted us and launched an empty bottle at the 4 of us. They all stood up and started walking towards us. Luckily for us, a few local white guys with mullets / tattoos / sleeveless denim jackets seemed to pop out of nowhere and grab us walk us over the road back into the other station walkway on the opposite side of the road. They also pulled out knives and flashed them to the black guys from across the street, shouted some racist abuse at them and continued taunting them even after we walked back down to the platform. Lucky for us, some racist, mulleted white German guys saved us from a spot of bother that day. They looked like extras from the Warriors or something. I also remember getting a buy from Girona to Barcelona once and there were dozens of little wooden hut / shanty towns in the hills and mountains around Barcelona. I've never seen housing or conditions that poor anywhere else in Europe. It was pretty much exactly what you'd expect to see in the poorest areas of India or South Africa. No idea what any of them were called but it was a surprise to see them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the people had to go somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
