What are safety and crime like in Port Of Spain?

Port of Spain, a city of light and dark, mostly dark all things considered. the number one consideration would be personal safety and wellbeing. Given that the country has one of the highest murder rates in the Commonwealth Caribbean, with Port of Spain a prime hot spot in the country, you would need to take all the necessary safety precautions for you and your family. But enough about the city’s dark side, there are places of light here to immerse yourself in. The so-called greatest show on earth, Carnival takes center stage yearly. St. James, a major suburb, is “The City that Never Sleeps” where you can party and eat any time. Finally, there is a burgeoning independent artist movement that could use all the support they can get. with all these things in mind, and with a reliable tour guide, feel free to venture forth into this beautiful yet dodgy capital.
