Answer

Are tourist areas in Palma more vulnerable to street robbery?

Busy tourist zones can attract opportunistic thieves because people are often relaxed, distracted, or carrying valuables. That does not mean these areas are dangerous all the time, but they do require the same caution you would use in any crowded city centre. Staying aware is especially important near landmarks, café terraces, and transport points.
