I wouldn't recommend you visiting POS. Stay out of the town area. Not much to see there anyway. However there are good restaurants in St. James. Don't go into town by yourself.

It is as narrow as it is wide…..you go home flaunting that you are foreigner they may rough you up….I on the other hand never had a problem…you go home and just blend in without the extravagance and rest assured you will be okay.

Daytime is generally ok in San Fernando, even POS. Nighttime I would recommend that you keep close to your family. I was there in February (pre-Carnival) and nothing horrible happened. Just use common sense.

Crime in Trinidad is as bad as it is anywhere else. You have to be a little more cautious because I find Trinidadians can pinpoint foreigners immediately. As with any other place, keep and eye on your wallet. Don't plan to be in any potentially dangerous areas during dangerous time frames (i.e. the bad part of town in the middle of the night etc.), lock your doors be conscious of your surroundings. You will be mostly with family and they can probably highlight things you DON'T want to do by yourself but I've done everything in Trinidad from go to fete to go to the beach. Just be careful. And most importantly, have a good time.

Just carry a concealed weapon and you should be fine, of course you need the proper permits to do that.
