General

Safety

  • Medium medical risk/low travel security risk.
  • Generally, a safe destination with low crime levels.
  • When entering taxis/Ubers, take pictures that identify the vehicle and share with other travellers (also share your ride details via the App) – if possible, always travel with someone.
  • Petty crime such as bag snatching represents the main risk especially at the tourist-frequent areas and public transport systems (carry small sums of money and as little valuables as possible when in public).
  • Pick pockets operate in gangs where one thief will distract you while the other one steals from your bags or pockets.
