Very scary place, specially at night. Lucky we had friends to help, but we felt vulnerable. Saw many crimes such as robbing and drug dealing, but did not affect us directly

Salvador is indeed a dangerous city. Although one should be aware of unsafe conditions while on the streets (by foot or in a vehicle), safety depends mostly on the place and the moment of the day. One should avoid going to the peripheral areas of the city and some "Favelas" unless necessary, as some spots are taken by gangs commanded by heavy-armed drug dealers. On the other hand, there are still some relatively safe places in the city, such as high-standard neighborhoods and touristic spots (Barra, Vitoria, Canela, Itaigara, among others). I lived here for 5 years and I was robbed only once, while taking a bus. Just taking some basic precautions and being aware of my surroundings. It's a beautiful place, such a shame that is so unsafe.
