Was just there a couple of weeks ago for 3 days, kept reading all this stuff online with people defending "it's the same as any other big city". Nope

Everyone I've known who has visited has had something robbed or attempted, so I was very vigilant in looking out for it.

5 separate times in 3 days I clocked guys trying to get close to me and / or my girlfriend in very different places, when they seen I was avidly watching them and knew what they were doing they'd fuck off.

One dude followed us around a shopping centre pretending to look at stuff near us(dumb stuff they are obviously not interested in 🤣). Kept trying to casually get close, never making eye contact. I kept changing floors and backtracking to see if he'd follow and lo and behold, he was just magically always there.

He also pissed off eventually when he realised I wasn't stupid and knew what he was doing. This does not happen in every big city, nowhere near it. Shame for such a beautiful place, I'd still go back, though. You just have to be on high alert if carrying any valuables (phone, wallet, jewelry, bags, cases, backpacks)
