Dangers & annoyances

The crime rate is very low. Over inquisitive police are more likely to bother you than criminals. Keep at least a photocopy of your passport and visa with you in case of police checks. Avoid photography on the metro, near the Presidential Administration Tower and halfway up the funicular.
