Travel Guides

Unfortunately, many of the traditional tourist destinations developed themselves to turning plates of the international crime. It is not your goal to interfere with that, I am sure. You only wish to visit a nice city, its museums, having contact with locals. But you need to stay alert, because the pocket thieves can ruin your vacations! The basic rules to avoid that are very simple and very well known by you, as by any other tourist. But in some places you must take extra care! Most of them are in Europe, as Europe is still the favorite target for many tourists coming from the all world. But some interesting and recommended locations are competing with this fame of the old continent!

So, these are in my opinion some dangerous places:

1.Hanoi. In such an exciting city with a well preserved colonial center and 600 temples there are also some pocket thieves waiting for you.

Hanoi is not everywhere so peaceful

2.Buenos Aires. The Argentina capital is a very active city with many locals and tourists. Don’t assume that all portenos have the best intentions. There is even a very well known trick that you should try to avoid: one people you can’t see throws something on your coat, and another one comes to help you removing the matter ( which they say to be guano).  During that minute you must observe your helper very carefully, or otherwise he will remove also your wallet!

Buenos Aires is an amazing city and has some dark sides you should be aware of

3.Rome. Visit Fontana di Trevi and be mesmerized by its secret charms, but don’t forget the common sense and the care for your belongings.

4.Paris. Or the City of Light, or the City of Love, is a magnetic city for people all over the world. La Basilique de Sacre Coeur, and the tube are the most dangerous places.

5.Florence is waiting for you with some wonderful medieval works, and also with the breathtaking Piazza della Signoria. Which is usually overcrowded, and not all the people have the cleanest thoughts.

6.Athens, and its wonderful museums lying mainly in open air (e.g. Parthenon) are very interesting, even exciting. This can make you forget the usually safety measures.

7.Amsterdam has a peaceful flair, and the people seem to be very friendly. Of course, with some exceptions!

8.Madrid has many museums (e.g. El Prado) and an interesting shopping area, El Rastro. In these places you must be specially careful.

9.Prague. Most of the tourists go to the medieval Bridge of Carol. But this is also where the pocket thieves go!

10.Barcelona with its wonderful walking area Las Ramblas are surely  worthing a visit. But on Las Ramblas you must stay very alert!

All above is  meant only as a normal warning. It should not mean to avoid these travel destinations, which are above the best worldwide. You only should try to stay alert in the cities and places I remembered. Thus you can avoid ruining your vacations and keeping the same good impressions about the selected destination.
