How safe is Guanajuato City?

It is a touristic city, so in the city center there are usually plenty of people, and police officers walking by from time to time. Avoid dark alleys and zones too far from the center too late at night as people are concerned about getting robbed. Aside from that, it is a pretty safe city, and the government takes measures because the city is touristy. Nearby cities in Guanajato are not as safe as the capital

Unfortunately Guanajuato it is a place where the insecurity is part of the daily life, but I try my best to keep me safe, the place where I live has security cameras, a guard, an alarm and the neighbors are always aware if something happen. In downtown the streets feel pretty safe for me, but I am watching my stuff or aware if someone comes behind me, I am mexican so I am used to always be careful when I walk on the streets, and even with the high rate of violence I have never experienced kidnapping, rape, get robbed or anything like that.
