As in most major cities around the world, there
are high levels of violent crime especially in parts of the capital Port of
Spain. Robbery and other crimes targeting tourists have occurred but the immediate
environs experiences a higher crime rate than any other part of Trinidad. You should
take the right precautions, such as keeping valuables out of sight and being
vigilant in crowded places.
Here are a few useful tips:
- Do not frequent isolated areas after dark and follow local advice about areas to be visited.
- Ask for directions to your destination before leaving your home or hotel.
- Follow directional signs on the roads and at attractions, and only use official tour guides.
- Do not carry excess cash or valuables. Use Safety deposit boxes where provided.
- Be aware of your surroundings; new surroundings call for alertness no matter where you are.
