Common tourist traps

  1. Bag-snatching on public transport

    How it works: Bag-snatching and pickpocketing are a problem on buses, and thieves may offer 'help'.

    How to avoid it: Keep bags in sight, be wary of offers of help, call a licensed taxi rather than hailing one, and use ATMs inside buildings.
