Despite all the conveniences, it may seem hard to live in some modern cities. Just because they’re simply overcrowded.

Thousands of cars, crowds of local people and tourists, noise, smog… Sometimes it is better to avoid these places, just to save your time and nerves! We will show you the most crowded places on Earth.
