Manhunt in Palma: What a robbery of German tourists reveals about safety on the island

Answer

Is Palma safe for tourists walking around the old town?

Palma’s old town is generally busy, lively and full of everyday visitors, but like any crowded tourist area it can attract opportunistic theft. Short snatch-and-run incidents do happen, especially where people are distracted by shopping, cafés or narrow streets. Basic caution with valuables is sensible, particularly in the evening and in more crowded lanes.
