Where can I find information on travel safety? Common sense safety rules apply here: Don't wear flashy jewelry, keep your phones and cameras out of sight, only carry enough money for the day, and avoid taking cards or passports out with you. Wear what you would normally wear, but try to wear clothing with hidden pockets to stash your important items.
Check out the US Department of State's website for the most up-to-date information on safety while traveling.
