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!

It's relatively safe. I've never been hurt, but there are more dangerous areas of the city. It's relatively safe. I've never been hurt, but there are more dangerous areas of the city. It's relatively safe. I've never been hurt, but there are more dangerous areas of the city.

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
