The primary safety hurdle is not physical danger, but the rigid enforcement of customs regulations regarding prescription medication. If you are carrying controlled substances like Diazepam, you must have a written prescription from your doctor and keep the medication in its original packaging to avoid trouble with authorities. Beyond these bureaucratic requirements, the city is straightforward and safe for transit, provided you respect the local laws regarding what you bring across the border.",
