Quick take
- Use normal city awareness; avoid overthinking it.
- Late-night comfort is mostly about choosing your routes and timing.
- If you’re unsure, take a taxi — saving stress is worth it.
A simple safety framework
Most trip safety comes down to tiredness and route choices. Keep evenings close to your base, avoid long solo walks on empty streets late at night, and don’t let alcohol turn small risks into bigger ones.
- Choose: well-lit routes back to your accommodation.
- Keep: valuables simple (especially in busy areas).
- Trust: your ‘this feels off’ instinct — change route or take a taxi.
