Don'ts:

Whilst Wales is relatively safe you still need to cautious especially for pickpocketers and bag snatchers although this usually only happens at night.

Due to the closeness of the mountains Wales can experience some pretty diverse weather. Winter in Wales is very cold and most places experience snow. Summer is warmer nearer the coastal towns but even at night a jumper can be necessary. Rainfall can be extreme so it is best to be prepared.
