Jamaica in general can be a violent place. Kingston is a city and this has a high concentration of people which increases the likelihood of violence and crime. I’ve had my (old) apartment broken into once, however it was poorly secured (no burglar bars). I’ve never been mugged although once, I’ve been pickpocketed, and had a necklace snatched many years ago. I’ve been groped before but when I was much younger. I don’t particularly have fear when I take public transportation but caution should be exercised. Taking private transport (uber etc) reduces the likelihood of mishaps.
Posted: December 25, 2024Kingston Jamaica is a lovely country overall...Tourists always come here basically every month to enjoy the sunshine and fun activities that jamaica has to offer... My advise when visiting any country you still have to be vigilant and cautious of your surroundings...but in all I can positively say Jamaica is a fun and interesting country to visit...
