Pickpocketing at Bellver: Chase Ends at Traffic Light – How Safe Is Palma Really?

Answer

When is pickpocketing most likely in Palma?

Pickpocketing is more likely in places with many visitors, short stops for photos, and distractions such as traffic, crowds or luggage handling. In Palma, that often means landmarks, promenades and transport areas where people relax their guard for a moment. Keeping bags closed and valuables close to the body helps in those situations.
