Use common sense when walking down the street at night, especially after drinking. There are well known scams operating in some ATMs, particularly those that accept VISA cards, issued with no money but the money is, however removed from the account.
Male visitors should be aware that unaccompanied women are an unusual sight in the dark. On the outskirts of the city, one woman walking alone at night can attract attention. these are the places where you can visit this site:
