Cape Verde: any safety alerts regarding hasslers, con men, thieves or muggers specific to this region?
score:1
Accepted answer
Hasslers: cape verdean people never ever hassle tourists, they are extremely laid back people who will simply let you visit their shop and browse through the products and only help you if you ask. However, there are more and more immigrants from Senegal who do hassle tourist, they are a minority of the population but do have a negative impact on the touristy business environment in that regard I believe.
Thieves: most of the country is very safe in that regard, however in bigger cities such as Mindello and Praia, you definitely have to watch out as soon as it is dark. In those cities, you better take a taxi as soon as you're out of the very policed areas.
Muggers: same as what I wrote regarding thieves above.
Con men: I haven't heard and haven't come across any. If anything, someone may overcharge you maybe 20 or 30% in a shop, for a tour, but I have been told by locals and expats that this did not happen often.
