Stay Safe in These Areas
Lima is a large city with some areas considered more risky due to poverty and higher crime rates. While tourist-friendly districts are generally safe, exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings, especially in these areas and at night.
Areas to Exercise Increased Caution or Avoid:
- Callao: This is often cited as one of the most dangerous areas. While it has some attractions and houses Lima’s main airport, its port status contributes to higher crime rates, including drug trafficking and organised crime. It’s generally advised to avoid wandering around Callao, especially after dark. If you’re travelling to or from the airport, it’s best to use reputable transportation like pre-booked taxis
- San Juan de Lurigancho: This is one of Lima’s largest and most densely populated districts, and unfortunately, it has areas with high crime rates.
- Comas, San Martín de Porres, Puente Piedra, El Agustino, Los Olivos: These districts have also been identified as having a higher number of homicides and general crime.
- La Victoria, Barrios Altos, Chorrillos, Ate Vitarte, Santa Anita, Villa El Salvador, and Villa María del Triunfo: These are also frequently mentioned as areas to be cautious in or avoid.
- Centro Histórico (Historic Centre) at night: While safe during the day, you should still watch out for pickpockets around the Historic Centre. The area is riskier after dark, so take safety precautions.
- Deserted or poorly lit streets: Regardless of the district, it’s always advisable to avoid walking alone in poorly lit or deserted areas, especially at night.

Local Safety Tips for Lima:
Stick to safe districts
Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro are generally considered the safest and most tourist-friendly districts in Lima, with good infrastructure, restaurants, shops, and a strong police presence.
Be aware of your surroundings
Always pay attention to what’s happening around you. Avoid distractions like constantly looking at your phone, and trust your instincts when suspicious
Be discreet
Don’t display expensive jewellery, electronics, or large amounts of cash.
Secure your belongings
Keep your bags and valuables in front of you, especially in crowded areas. Avoid putting phones or wallets in back pockets. Use cross-body bags to guard against bag snatching
Use reputable transportation
Opt for registered taxis. Avoid hailing taxis on the street, especially at night.
Be cautious with ATMs
If you need to withdraw cash, use ATMs inside banks, shopping centres, or hotels during daylight hours.
Travel in groups
Whenever possible, especially at night, travel with others, with a bodyguard or join official tours.
