    Travel Safety by Destination

    Country and city safety guides: crime, scams, areas to know and the official advisories to check.

    Most "is it safe?" questions have a more useful answer than yes or no. Our destination guides cover what tends to go wrong for visitors, which neighborhoods and situations to think twice about, and the everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

    Safety situations change, so treat these guides as a starting point. Before you book, read the current advisory from your own government (the links are below), then use the guides for the practical detail advisories leave out.
