Is Aruba a dangerous place to live?

Answer 1

No, Aruba is no more of a dangerous place to live than most places in the world.

Specifically, islanders are known for their friendliness and hospitality. They can be characterized as multicultural and multilingual since over 40 nationalities have been involved in building Aruban society. They live on a small island completely surrounded by water and therefore have learned how to get along and pull together.

Answer 2

Yes, Aruba is basically a safe country, according to the U.S. Department of State Travel Information on Aruba. No known terrorist or extremist groups are connected with Aruba. There are no known areas of instability or organized crime on Aruba. But it's noted that drug trafficking rings are thought to operate on Aruba.

Aruba is generally considered to have a low crime threat. But it's noted that travelers should take normal precautions in unfamiliar places. For example, valuables shouldn't be left unattended on beaches, in cars, or in other places.
