Safety

6/10

Most daily visits are trouble-free, but pickpocketing and bag theft occur in tourist areas, and demonstrations or wider security incidents can disrupt normal routines.

Natural disaster resilience

5/10

The low-lying coast is exposed to coastal and urban flooding, extreme heat, water stress, and occasional seismic effects, so the city is not low-risk by European standards.
