9 ways to protect yourself from pickpockets and thefts

Secure Your Belongings
Use bags with zippers and keep them close to your body to deter pickpockets.
Use Front Pockets
Keep your valuables in your front pockets where they are harder for pickpockets to access.
Travel Light
Carry only essential items to minimise risk and make it easier to monitor your belongings.
Divide Your Cash
Split your money and cards into different pockets to avoid losing everything at once.
Wear Money Belts
Consider using a money belt to keep your valuables hidden and safe from prying hands.
Avoid Flashy Displays
Don’t openly display expensive items or large amounts of cash that might attract pickpockets.
