🛡️ Safety

Belfast82/100✓Safety Score58/100Naples

Belfast

Belfast is a safe city for tourists. The Troubles ended with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and violence against visitors is essentially unheard of. Occasional community tensions persist in interface areas but are rarely visible to tourists. Standard urban safety practices apply.

Naples

Naples has a grittier reputation than other Italian tourist cities, and petty crime (pickpocketing, bag snatching, scooter theft) is a real concern. However, violent crime against tourists is rare, and most visitors have trouble-free experiences.
