You might (rarely) see drunken or loud local people in the center, but even the shady looking neighbourhoods are actually quiet and really safe. I spent a lot of time here as a kid/teenager and never have i had a bad experience on the street. I cannot speak for tourists. Anything might happen i guess, but the locals are usually very nice people. I like it here so much!

I think it is a safe town especially the center and citadel area. If you go to the outskirts of the town you might have to be a bit more careful. But just general awareness. I would not be too worried
