What the Map IS and IS NOT!

  • Shows tourist-heavy locations where crowds are common.

  • Highlights urban areas requiring increased awareness.

  • Marks areas near officially recorded locations, as identified by public authorities.

  • Provides general information for visitor awareness and route planning.

What the map IS NOT:

  • A map of individual crime – does not mark any individual or private property.

  • An ethnic or racial indicator – does not imply residents of any area are dangerous.

  • Official police risk assessment – does not replace official safety information or recommendations, but provides guidance on areas where extra caution is advised.

  • A guarantee of safety – does not ensure other areas are completely safe.

Note: The map is for informational purposes only. Visitors should always follow standard safety measures and local regulations.
