A Note About Safety -- Although most visitors to Juárez have an enjoyable time without incident, the city sees its fair share of drug trafficking, pickpocketing, and violence. Tourists have not been targeted by violence, but have been victims of theft. It is especially important to remain aware of your surroundings when visiting the city.
