The short answer is yes if you use common sense. Like don't try to score dope, don't walk down dark streets in the middle of the night, etc. I have always found Cancun to be a very safe area for anywhere a tourist would likely go, and that includes roaming around downtown. There are areas I choose not to go on foot at night, but there is no reason for me to go there anyway if I don't know the area. I go anywhere during the day.
