Dangers & annoyances

While Praia (on the island of Santiago) is among the safest cities in West Africa, violent crime is not unknown here or in Mindelo. Follow the same common sense rules you would in any city. The rest of the country is very safe, though petty crime like pick-pocketing is always a possibility.
