Rio de Janeiro is a spectacular city but requires street-smart behavior. Violent crime rates are a real concern, especially in certain areas, and tourists should stay alert in crowded spots and on the beach. The main risks for visitors are opportunistic theft, overpriced or rigged taxis, and money-related traps, so use official transport and keep valuables minimal.
