7 Popular Places in Europe Prone to Pickpocketing

Dream - Foreign tourists are often easy targets for thieves. They are not familiar with the local culture or get carried away enjoying tourist destinations, stories of travelers becoming victims of pickpocketing are often heard. Not only in third world countries, pickpockets are also active in European countries that claim to have a better standard of living.

7 Popular Places in Europe Prone to Pickpocketing

Now for Dream Friends who want to travel to Europe, here is a list of seven tourist attractions that you must be aware of in order to avoid pickpocket victims. This list is made from the research results of money.co.uk which analyzed TripAdvisor reviews.

1. Las Ramblas, Barcelona, Spain

According to International Traveler, the place with the highest number of pickpockets is the iconic pedestrian route of Las Ramblas in Barcelona. During the tourist season, this place is very crowded, making it the 'perfect' place for pickpockets.

1. Las Ramblas, Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona can be considered as the most culturally rich city in Spain, but it has a reputation as one of the worst cities for pickpockets and this is where most crimes occur. How to avoid it? This may sound simple, but make sure all your valuable belongings are tightly closed inside your bag or wallet when in tourist areas. The zippers on your bag should also face inward if possible.

2. Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

As one of the most popular cultural places in the world, it is not surprising that people visiting Paris experience problems with pickpockets at the Eiffel Tower.

2. Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

Please pay attention to your belongings while walking on the main road from the metro station to the Eiffel Tower itself. Try not to show off to pickpockets, do not display valuable jewelry, items, or cash.

3. Trevi Fountain, Rome, Italy

In the Trevi Fountain in the capital of Italy, it is famous for the tradition of throwing coins into the fountain. This actually puts tourists at risk of being pickpocketed.

3. Trevi Fountain, Rome, Italy

Tourists throw around 3000 euros into the Trevi Fountain every day, and because people look into their wallets to take out coins, they will be distracted when throwing their money, making them an easy target for pickpockets. It is better to take out coins before reaching the fountain and make sure your bag is secure when you arrive there.

4. Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic

Praha is a 'paradise' for pickpockets. Like on Charles Bridge. Touching the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk on this bridge is believed to bring good luck and ensure your return to Prague. Pickpockets see it as an opportunity to divert your attention while they steal your money.

5. Sacred Heart, Paris, France

One of the most amazing places in France with unparalleled views is Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur. However, this place is full of street scammers and pickpockets lining up at the entrance and along the road to the main building.

               

Pickpockets often work in pairs, with one pickpocket trying to distract the tourist, while the other launches the theft. If someone pulls you aside to ask a question, make sure to immediately secure your belongings, because if they are pickpockets, it is likely that they have been observing you for a while and know exactly where you keep your valuable items.

6. Colosseum, Rome, Italy

Colosseum is a must-visit place for tourists when in Rome. In this place, pickpockets often act when tourists are in long queues to enter. It is advisable to book tickets well in advance. This applies to all tourist attractions.
