Common sense rules should apply for most of the city center, i.e. travel in groups - especially late at night -- don't look like a tourist, avoid dark alleyways, etc.
Birmingham's historic Five Points South area is one of the most popular night/weekend spots, and it is always well patrolled at the insistence of area merchants. The area's wonderful restaurants, pubs, and dance clubs are among the attractions you'll find there.
The downtown area has a supplemental bike patrol called CAP (City Action Partnership) to deter crime and assist visitors. Call 205-251-0111 for a free security escort, directions, assistance with a dead car battery, etc.
