Is there a lot of crime in Granada?

"It is relatively safe and we have experienced less crime here than in the states. We use common sense such as using taxis after dark, not driving at night, etc. Having said that, Nicaragua is a poor country and there is more common theft. For example, if you lay your phone, IPod, laptop on your table at a restaurant and turn away, it will be gone. It is important to have good neighbors and to form friendships with them. Our home has never been robbed in the past five years here," commented one expat who made the move to Granada, Nicaragua.

"Granada is generally considered to be a safe city. However, like any other city, there is some crime. Petty theft, such as pickpocketing and purse snatching, is the most common type of crime. There have also been reports of muggings and robberies, particularly in the more touristy areas. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and take precautions to protect yourself and your belongings," remarked another expat in Granada, Nicaragua.
