Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur, especially in crowded areas. Tourists are advised to be vigilant of their belongings and surroundings to avoid such incidents. Scams targeting tourists are also reported occasionally. These may include overcharging for goods and services, fraudulent tour packages, or taxi drivers not using their meters to charge higher fares.
