Is Sao Luis safe for solo female travelers?

Sao Luis poses several challenges to solo female travelers. It struggles with high levels of violent crime, including against tourists, and the threat of pickpocketing or mugging is ever present. While it's a vibrant city with a rich culture, increased vigilance is necessary, especially at night. Public transportation is typically safe, but unregulated taxis should be avoided. Always maintain situational awareness, use reputable accommodation providers, avoid displaying valuable possessions in public, and stick to populated areas.
