Sucre is considered to be a beautiful, laid-back city, so generally you will feel safe. However, it is always better to be safe than sorry. This is why the following safety tips might be useful to you.
Ask hotel staff which areas and sites are safe to walk in and which areas you should avoid
Keep your passport, credit cards, travel and other documents in a safe place
Stay alert if “police officers” ask to see your ID; they are not necessarily real police officers but could instead be delinquents looking to rob you
Always be aware what is going on around you, especially in crowded places
Do not accept any other passengers when taking a taxi
Use radio taxis to get back to your hotel late at night or in the early morning hours
Don’t accept any object from a stranger
Ignore people who want to help you clean your clothes after they got stained by paint, mustard, spittle or any other liquid; they are trying to distract you in order to steal your belongings
Use a travel or a tour agency for a safe trip to the surrounding area
