I think it’s safe! I don’t go out that much anymore but we do have some groups from the community that check upon people going home from clubs! I just never feel safe as a girl at night but daytime I think it’s good!
Posted: July 11, 2025Overall, it's a safe town. Some areas are maybe a bit sketchy at night, but common sense and all is good. People are friendly and good at English. Keep in mind that if you are out partying, the chances of getting harassed are the same as in any town in the world.

A very safe and cozy town. There is no big problem with safety issues. You just have to be careful like every where, where ever you are. Don’t forget to share your location with someone you trust. Have a great time!
