Safety is one of the most common reasons why some people don’t want to go to Brazil.
Let’s look at how dangerous Brazil is, how you can stay safe and avoid any trouble, and finally what to do when you do actually get robbed.
Be aware of your surroundings
Keep an eye on the area. Deserted streets are bad, groups of people too. Cross the street if you see something you don’t trust. The main thing is to always pay attention to what is happening around you. If you don’t trust it, take a different street. The earlier you notice anything sketchy, the better you can deal with it.
