Safety
Crime and Delinquency
The country, particularly its capital, has seen a rise in crime over time. This can sometimes be violent, ranging from pickpocketing in markets to assaults on drivers by (sometimes) fake police officers, as well as burglaries, including in hotels.
Scams and "Tourist" Harassment
Socio-Political Risks and Terrorism

Foreign Consulates in the Country
If you encounter problems while traveling abroad, your country's consular services can assist you. It is also worth noting that if you are a citizen of the European Union and your country is not represented, you can contact any other EU member state's representation.
