Despite all the conveniences, it may seem hard to live in some modern cities. Just because they’re simply overcrowded. And it doesn’t really matter whether it is a big city like London or a tiny village which can be found not on each map. 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.
