Is it safe to walk around Morelia at night, especially in the historic center?

The historic center of Morelia is generally well‑patrolled and popular with locals and tourists after dark, making it relatively safe for walking. However, as with any city, it’s wise to stay on well‑lit streets, avoid isolated alleys and keep personal belongings secure. Local police presence is higher in tourist zones, and many hotels provide safety tips for guests. Checking recent travel advisories and asking residents or hotel staff about current conditions can give you up‑to‑date information before heading out.
