People rarely get hassled on the street here, especially in the city center. It's relatively safe at night unless you go to specific bars, which are usually crowded with idiots. Overall, you can walk around here safely, even alone and even late at night, and many locals speak English, so you're more likely to be understood (at least by the younger crowds).

It is a tourist-friendly city and it is quite safe here (especially in the central areas). I've lived there for 7 years and have never been in a bad situation, but anyway people are different and it's better to be careful at night.
