If you are in the area of Ángelópolis, even at night it is a little safe, but always be aware of your surroundings. Walk on the streets with lots of light and people walking around. Sonata is pretty safe to walk at night

I have walked during the daylight only. It was ok feel like I’m in a countryside city. People are kind and simple. I’ll come back with more information tomorrow as I will walk around the city centre and get to know the city better.
