Safety in Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago is tourist-friendly but has some key cultural and legal rules:

Always be alert to your surroundings and avoid wearing headphones when out and about.

Avoid walking alone on deserted beaches, at night, or in poorly lit or quiet areas.

Never leave anything in an unattended vehicle, as items can be snatched through car windows.

Be cautious when withdrawing cash from ATMs, use well-lit ones and withdraw small amounts during daylight hours.

It is an offence for anyone to dress in camouflage clothing or bring any into the country.

Bonus tips:

Avoid accepting drinks from anyone you do not know, and do not leave drinks unattended.
