Stay Safe in Praia
Being the capital and biggest city of the country, Praia has a bigger crime rate than most parts of the country. Most crimes involve petty thievery and these are mostly focused on actual residents and not on tourist, although there have been a few cases which involved tourist. So Praia is still a very safe city, just be careful with flaunting any expensive jewelry or gadgets like iPhones and such. Cape Verde in the past few years has seen an increase of petty crimes which are done mostly by groups of young people so avoid groups of young men especially at night.
Praia is also a badly illuminated city at night, so be careful in places that might not have street lights and is somewhat isolated, always travel in pairs or in groups for safety. However if anything does occur there are police stations in various parts of the city and a general hospital in the city center.
