One of the most important things to remember when you go to Rio de Janeiro is not to take a large sum of money in the purse or wallet. You should leave the money in the hotel safe or with your houseguest.
On the other hand, there are a lot of places to visit: beautiful beaches, churches and famous landmarks.
When do we use "on the other hand"? Did I use it here corectly?
"On the other hand" is typically used for a more direct comparison -
You don't want to carry a lot of money in your purse or wallet but on the other hand you're sure to see a lot of things you'll want to buy so be sure to carry traveler's checks.
Or Rio has beautiful places to visit, on the other hand, it has terrible slums so be sure you know the most direct route to your destination before setting out.
Your example doesn't really compare two things.
