Pickpockets and Purse-Snatchers: Keep your hand on your wallet!

  • Yes, the usual warning - be very wary of pickpockets, especially when catching public transport or when in one of the main tourist areas in Rome.

    We were on a crowded bus and witnessed a pickpocket in action - the person standing next to us was silly enought to have their wallet in their back pocket and if we hadn't yelled out, they would have lost it!

    Just be sensible and alert.

     I enjoyed your page on Rome, it was not too technical as some I've seen, more accessable.

     Good page. Piazza Barberini; not Berberini. Ciao!
