"Fuorigrotta is generally safe, but like any urban area, remain vigilant against pickpocketing, especially on crowded public transport and near tourist spots. Avoid poorly lit streets late at night. Scams targeting tourists are less common here than in central Naples, but always agree on taxi fares beforehand. Keep valuables secure and be cautious with street vendors. The area around the stadium can be rowdy on match days."

Tap water is safe to drink, but bottled water is common. Sun protection is essential in summer."
