The world’s most overwhelming cities? (alien.top)

By this I mean the overstimulation of the senses that happens while you are there.

My answer is probably Old Delhi. From the sheer population density, the near-constant honking, the utter chaos on the streets, the panoply of religions and ethnicities, the myriad scents and colours that pass you by as you travel down the narrow lanes, and not least the choking air pollution, it is certain to keep you on edge, not necessarily in a bad way.

Are there other cities that come close to, or even surpass, this?

I’ve been to many busy cities but the one that sticks out and not in a good way is Jakarta. It’s terrible. Busy, limited, not walkable at all with crazy drivers seemingly trying to hit you on purpose or just not caring if they do. Just nope for me
