Also, be very wary of your wallet. Pick-pocketers are everywhere here. I had mine taken off of me on the metro the first day I was here. 400 euros, all my credit cards, driver's license, social security card, etc, etc. Now I'm in a huge debacle to prevent myself from being a victim of identity fraud. Listen closely: hand on the [censored] wallet at all times.

Interesting. I've been living here for 3 months and have been all over the city, at all hours, in all states of sobriety, and met all kinds of people and haven't met anyone who's had any trouble with pickpockets.
