Security in Sydney

While the city offers a sense of freedom, it's essential to be aware of its downsides. Unwary tourists are susceptible to pickpocketing in any neighborhood and at any time of day.

It's advisable to avoid visiting the city's less safe areas like Kings Cross, Darlinghurst, and Redfern, especially for women.

One more thing: when visiting the beaches of Sydney, don't forget that the Australian coastline is full of sharks. Swim only in designated areas and don't swim too far.
