Is Sucre safer than La Paz?

Sucre is widely seen as much safer and more at ease than the busy metropolis of La Paz, with lower crime rates and a layout that feels more walkable, more controllable.

Even if minor issues like pickpocketing can still show up in crowded markets or bus stations, violent crime aimed at tourists is extremely rare. The gentler pace of daily life, the mild weather, and the smaller population together make it a really comfortable place for someone travelling alone.
