Rio is not a dangerous city as it used to be, even though that doesn´t mean that nothing happens. Everybody has to be careful, watch and follow some tips.
If you are carrying your camera, try to keep it in a bag and don´t show off, always watch your things.
Don´t wear expensive jewelry in the streets.
If taking a taxi, you can call one, but if you need to take one on the street, take one with a telephone number written on the side.
