Moscow Health & Safety

Moscow is not the safest city in Europe, in fact it has a reputation for being a crime filled metropolis, but that doesn’t keep the tourist away. The best way not to be robbed in Moscow is to use common sense and don’t look like a tourist. There’s a large population of pickpockets, muggers and thieves that look like money changers, gypsies and common swindlers. It’s a good idea to avoid contact with strangers and never accept any offers for services from people on the street.
