⚠ NAPLES PICKPOCKET ALERT !!! Unfortunately, pickpockets in Naples are a "major problem", particularly on the crowded trams and buses, and in and around the main railway station.
Bus Line R2 is notorious – there are 2-3 pickpockets on every bus. Line R4 is not much better. They even work with ticket agents who signal to them that you are carrying lots of cash. Be very careful!!!
Always hang onto your bags. Do not let overly friendly hustlers put your bags on their trolley. They will run off with all your bags once loaded onto their trolleys. Unfortunately Naples is just riddled with overly aggressive street criminals. Best to wear a messenger bag across the front of your chest.
Some of these brazen thieves even go after hidden money belts by first distracting then ganging up on poor unsuspecting tourists. It only takes seconds for them to ruin your dream vacation. Be very careful !!! Ciao bella!
I love Naples ❤
