Guinea-Bissau's security situation is delicate at the best of times, with a bloodless coup in September 2003 only serving as a reminder. Following elections in 2005, there has been a period of stability; however, the political atmosphere remains tense and there has been social unrest. Visitors should avoid political demonstrations or rallies.

Proceed with caution, and keep abreast of latest developments.
