We spent several evenings at Garibaldi Square this January without incident.
We then walked back about 10 blocks to the hotel, usually around midnight or
later.
Some local people that we talked to suggested this was dangerous, and to
some extent they were probably right. In one case we accepted a ride back
with some folks that we met there (now THAT goes against my better judgment)
but it worked out fine too.
If you do take a taxi, make sure that you choose the taxi, rather than the
taxi choosing you. Pick one coming down the street (even at random, as long
as you pick it) and settle for none other.
Garibaldi square is on a very major, busy road, as well as a bunch of
smaller roads and alleys. If you're walking, take the main road, which has
plenty of foot and vehicle traffic (and some open businesses) late into the
night.
