Travel Summary

There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public places, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

You should carry an identity document at all times. Requests to produce proof of identity, for example by the police, are frequent.
