Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur, particularly in crowded areas or at night. Violent crime is relatively rare, but it's always important for visitors to stay vigilant and take standard safety precautions. It's recommended to avoid isolated areas, especially after dark, and to keep valuables secure and out of sight.
