Rare Hlitner Posted December 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2006 From your post I would surmise that you have done very little traveling to larger cities. Miami is simply another large city with typical large city problems. Like other cities it has safe neigborhoods and there are also some neighborhoods where its not very safe. As a tourist with no "street smarts" you should consider staying in a good neighborhood in Miami Beach or South Beach (this is a very interesting area on the South side of Miami Beach). You should probably book a decent hotel and than you can ask the hotel's concierge for advice on what to see and avoid in the area. Also keep in mind that there is a difference between "Miami" and "Miami Beach" and you would be well advised to stay in Miami Beach. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and foremost, Miami is no more dangerous than what NEw York, LA, or Chicago would be. There haven't been any incidents with tourist here noted recently. I would suggest staying in the tourist areas and not wandering off to dark streets or areas you are not aware of. I think that as a tourist you should always be aware of your surroundings and watch yourself here like anywhere else. Miami thrives with tourism. We meet tourist of every kind every day. We are not unfriendly people and we comingle in all of the places such as South Beach, Coconut Grove, etc.... We are used to dealing with tourist and helping tourist out in an occasion.
