Be careful in some bars with pool players, because there are some gangs that will generate a fight with the other player and attack him when he goes outside the bar.

Always be careful in the Trole, Ecovia and Metrobus buses and around Terminal Terrestre. Always use taxis at night and don't walk in city parks at evening or in quiet hours (11h00 to 14h00) if you want to practice a short jogging always do it in the Carolina or Metropolitan park with a friend or some other local joggers.
