Moscow is a big city and all visitors should realize and always remember this fact. General precautions should be taken to escape unpleasant situations:
- Do not leave valuables in your hotel room - use hotel safes,
- Do not go to dark areas and parks at night,
- Do not talk to strange people,
- Do not show that you have a lot of cash with you,
- Do not carry cash in purses or bags - have it in your inside pockets,
- Do not take a cab if there is someone else in the car except the driver,
- Do not give money to gypsies. A lot of gypsy kids and some gypsy women near you can be very dangerous even during broad daylight.
In case you decide to go somewhere by yourself it is advisable to inform your roommate or the tour leader where you are going and approximately the time when you are planning to be back in hotel.
