Due to the ongoing protests and public outbreaks of violence, caution is advised on the streets and squares of Pavia. If you see hundreds of coastguards moving towards you, get out of the way or walk in the opposite direction. Do not start running in order to avoid stampedes and the risk of being arrested.
If you see protesters damaging or stealing property, move away from the scene immediately. Otherwise you risk reprisals from coastguard troops or arrest.
Avoid the main street and stay as short as possible for your shopping, for matters at the town hall take the south entrance through the factory hall.
