Solo tourism is considered one of the main trends of summer. Travellers and female travellers were even given a rating of the safest cities for a holiday only in their own company. In particular, Osaka (Japan), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Buenos Aires (Aregentina) became the “green travelling flag”.
At the same time, in many cities popular with tourists, you need to remain as careful and cautious as possible.
Which cities are dangerous for tourists
Some of the most underrated cities in terms of danger are Paris and Barcelona. A large number of petty crimes occur there. In general, they are rarely spoken about publicly, so, enjoying the beauty of desirable cities, tourists may not even suspect that the threat – close.
In Paris in particular, tourists are most often robbed in the Montmartre neighbourhood and near the Eiffel Tower.
In Barcelona, street thefts are also unfortunately common. It is not easy to be cautious in Rome either. There among the “red” locations in terms of threat are Termini station, as well as – the area near the Vatican.
In addition, maximum caution should be used in Istanbul. Unfortunately, there are many pickpockets operating there. In particular, in the Fatih district (territory of Constantinople), where some of the most popular tourist locations of the city are located. For example, the Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque, as well as the Topkapi Sultan’s Palace.
The most frequent attempts to snatch wallets and mobile phones from the pockets and purses of tourists.
Tourists are urged to watch out for street vendors who are already too active in trying to sell their goods. While offering simit or postcards with images of Istanbul with one hand, a tourist’s wallet or mobile phone may be snatched with the other.
