Dangers & annoyances
Pickpockets and muggers operate around the Grand Marché and along Rue du Commerce. The worst thing you could do is walk along the beach alone, especially at night. Walking anywhere around the city at night is dangerous – take a taxi, also a safer option than the accident-prone taxi-motos (scooter taxis). Avoid police roadblocks, as they act as an unofficial revenue-collection exercise. There are occasionally riots in Lomé.
