Of course, Auckland is not the perfect paradise one would instantly expect. Even though it is one of the safest cities in the world, there are areas that you should take safety measures, too. Thus, here are some of the bad areas of Auckland where you should take extra safety measures when visiting: South Auckland South Auckland may be one of the cheapest places in the city, but it is one of the most dangerous. It is a more perilous suburb in Auckland and the least desirable part. West Auckland If you happen to visit West Auckland, you should be more vigilant. It would be best if you were careful when in Ranui, Sunnyvale, and Fruitvale, too. The least dangerous area in West Auckland is Swanson, Massey, and West Harbour. Of course, compared to South Auckland, there are more least difficult suburbs in this area. Auckland CBD/Downtown The Auckland Central Business District is comparatively a safe area. However, police officers would still advise avoiding walking alone at night. If you want a much safer place to see, you can visit Mt. Albert, Kingsland, and My Eden. Yet, choosing to live and stay in CBD for long can be pretty expensive. As it is a business center, rent an apartment will cost you money, too. Queen Street seaward area As we have mentioned, Auckland is a safe area. However, if you happen to avoid a specific place, there are portions of Queen Street that should be avoided. Since it is a place where people gather and drink, the seaward areas have drunken people fighting. So if you want to avoid this particular scenario, going to this place at night is not advisable.
