Is it safe to walk around Holetown?

Barbados heavily relies on tourism and deeply values each of its visitors as they contribute to the island's economy and cultural exchange, making them an integral part of the Barbadian experience. Barbados, including the Holetown area, is widely considered safe* for visitors, but it's important to exercise common sense. The US Department of State lists Barbados as a Level 1 destination, indicating that visitors should exercise "normal precautions". However, like any destination, small incidents of petty crime can occur, so it's advisable to remain vigilant and take necessary safety measures. Nevertheless, many tourists and locals walk along Holetown in the evenings without issues, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
