TORONTO – Hold on to your hats – or rather your wallets – because TripAdvisor has just come out with its list of the *****’s most pickpocketed cities.
Based on information from both editors and travellers, the list is riddled with mostly European cities, with a couple of countries having the misfortune of appearing twice.
“Pickpocketing is a true art and whilst thieves can ****** anywhere, home or abroad, tourisy hotspots often yield far richer pickings,” said Amelie Hurst, TripAdvisor spokeswoman. “The combination of an awestruck traveller and a bag bulging with local currency, not to mention passports, cameras and credit cards, is an appealing prospect for any light-fingered thief.”
Here are the top 10 most pickpocketed cities:
- *********, Spain
- Rome, Italy
- Prague, Czech ********
- Madrid, Spain
- Paris, France
- Florence, Italy
- Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Athens, Greece
- Hanoi, Vietnam
