Caracas is great. Yes, you may feel a bit unsafe at times if you're not used to traveling etc. The media shuns it too much but Caracas is actually an amazing city. I am an American and my boyfriend lives there. I enjoy the city as well as the nightlife, restaurants, nature and beaches. I don't fee unsafe and once more people start ...
My fiance was coming to Caracas and I wanted him to know El Avila National Park but we only had a Monday to do this. I called a lot of gourmet restaurants in Galipan and finally I got La Hacienda Vieja, the only one which works on Monday. They sent a wagon to pick us up and after a few curves surrounded by lush foliage we arrived to La Hacienda ...

Nice, warm weather all year long
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/09/06
Caracas is an important economy centre in South America. The city enjoys a warm weather all year long. You can feel the Caribbean culture influence in this city.
We always have a good time in Caracas. We usually stay at the King's Inn Hotel near Plaza Venezuela. The Sabana Grande is better than any flea mkt I have ever been to in my life. Always, great food, good shopping....what more could you want. The only thing that is outrageous are the prices for a taxi. I had to pay $40 one way to the airport the last time I was there.

Not stay for long period
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/02/06
Caracas is a metroplitan with all the attached maladies; smog, traffic, crime, etc. It is the point of entry to Venezuela, but if I go back again I would rather stay out of the capital as much as possible. Venezuela has many many interesting areas to visit out side of the major town and it has lovely beaches and islands that can be reached easily and cheap.
