Serious crime against foreigners is virtually unheard of and even late at night tourists has little to worry about. Pick pocketing and other petty crimes such as purse snatching are somewhat more common, especially in crowded areas such as markets, on the subway or at tourist spots so it is best to be careful in such places and keep an eye on your belongings. When traveling with luggage it is recommended to keep a watch over it at all times. If you have any problems they should be reported to the nearest police officer or security guard who will be only too happy to help.
