 petty crime is a problem in many tourist destinations
Yes, you have to watch out for pickpockets but don't become paranoid! Make sure you are still enjoying yourself in Barcelona or there isn't any point in going there, is there?
Pickpocketing is a problem in Barcelona but so it is in London, Prague, and Rome as someone else was pointing out. To be honest, petty crime is a problem in many tourist destinations around the world, but it doesn't mean that thieves are waiting for you at every corner.
Just use common sense like not carrying large amounts of cash with you, or leave important documents in a safe deposit box at your hotel. |
