The bigger the city, the more caution you must exercise.

Avoid walking or driving through the poorest areas of a city, especially at night.

Avoid lonely, dark streets and parks.

If you must be out on city streets between 11 pm and 6 am, ask at your hotel about areas to avoid, and whether you should take a taxi rather than walk.

Be careful of your wallet or purse in the subway, at open-air festivals and markets, where pickpockets sometimes work the crowds.
