Is crime a problem in Curaçao?

The island is generally quite safe, especially for tourists. You can compare it with a big international city: there are a few areas to avoid (alleys, dark streets, etc.) but apart from that, you may explore the island as you wish. General safety rules apply here like anywhere else: never leave your valuable possessions in sight or out in the open; bring them with you or keep them safe in a safe/vault at the hotel; also, keep an eye on your luggage at all times and never accept packages from strangers.
