No problem you won't get mugged at every corner, this is not the USA.
This might have been true in the USA of 1990, but it's certainly not
true of today's USA, which is in fact a lot safer than Western Europe.
That's rubbish.
Not quite. While the US still has a high murder rate, overall crime in
tourist areas is generally very low. If you looked into statistics for
crime against tourists (which I suppose is more relevant to this group)
you'd find that Western European cities probably had a higher rate in
general.
But we are talking about safety, not crime.
