 Stick to major freeways when possible and try to avoid smaller streets through unfamiliar neighborhoods. How you carry yourself can easily keep you from getting mugged.

 As with any major American city, keep your eyes open and your wits about you. Crime is relatively low in most parts of Minneapolis that you're likely to visit, but is not unknown.

+Be wary of the Near North, Camden, and Phillips communities, particularly at night.  Violent crimes can occur and unfortunately have occurred in all parts of the city. Be aware of large groups of African-American "youth" on Nicollet Mall during summer.
 As in all other cities these crimes receive a disproportionate amount of attention from local media. These tragic events, however, are typically not random so they will probably not impact your visit. You are more likely to be a victim of crimes of opportunity.
