Russia presents some safety concerns for tourists, including those from Cabo Verde. It ranks 30th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In a broader context, Russia is ranked 154th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a relatively high level of violence and crime.
