 | Barcelona Pickpockets Reviews | 31 - 40 of 111 |  |
There are skilled pickpockets and purse snatchers in this town. They won't stick a gun in your face or club you over the head, but they will use quickness and stealth to rob you if you are careless. My sister's son ran after and caught a kid who snatched her purse; my daughter found a guy's hand rummaging in her bag as we crossed a crosswalk(and he was eating a sandwich with the other hand!) He didn't get anything. Wear your money under your clothes! Leave a Comment

Although walking down Las Ramblas is a must-activity, it is also know by pick-pockets, so be careful. Leave a Comment

I think the only real danger is of pick-pockets, particularly near La Rambla. If you keep your belongings out of sight (including cameras) whilst your walking around, you should have no problems. Leave a Comment

Watch out for pickpockets especially in the subway and in crowded places. They steel not only your money, but also your passport. Leave a Comment

Beware of the pickpockets of La Ramblas and the gypsies. As long as you are sensible there is not problem but some people are so thick. One American tourist, while waiting for a bus was approached by a Gypsy woman who gave him a flower and then asked for money. Once he figured out what she wanted he offered her some change which she wouldn't take, then she proceeded to fish around in his pockets and pull out his wallet. Anyone this stupid deserves what they get. Leave a Comment

When we were in Barcelona we had problems with pick-pocketers. Be sure to hold on to your wallet, camera, and purse. Leave a Comment

A friend of ours had her bag stolen at the airport. A very well suited man dropped a pen, whilst she turned around another man grapped her bag from the airport trolley.
Everyone I have spoken to who has been to Barcelona has or knows someone who has been targeted which is quite worrying.
When we travel abroad before we go I make a note of all our credit card numbers and contact numbers with a friend/family in the U.K and if they are stolen I contact them straight away and they can stop the cards on your behalf until you have time to ring the companies yourself direct.
