2. Paris, France
Next on our list of the top pickpocket cities is Paris. France’s capital may be known as the city of love, but if you aren’t vigilant, you can easily fall out of love with this destination. As one of the most popular places in the world, it’s little wonder that tourists visiting this place have had issues with pickpockets at the Eiffel Tower.
According to experts, out in the open, the chances of you being a victim of a purse-snatcher are small. The underground with the city’s metro system is where pickpockets will likely strike, so be careful if you visit Paris and take the subway to go from one place to another.
How to avoid it: Try not to advertise yourself to potential pickpockets, stay alert, and don’t overtly flash any valuable items, jewelry, or cash.
