It depends on where you are, but overall the city center is often safe. Ig make sure to stay in places where there’s people 😭 But if you’re ever somewhere very crowded you should be more cautious, just hide your money, camera if you carry one…

It depends on the moments. Sometimes taxis make me anxious. Even in my apartment I sometimes feel anxious. I don't know yet if it's because I'm not used to the place or if sometimes it's just not safe. Especially in my neighborhood. Sometimes people tell me it's okay. Sometimes not.
