• Plan your trip in advance. It is recommended to keep with you useful addresses and phone numbers that in certain situations could be helpful. Check maps and routes before you leave your hotel.
• Crowded transport gives pickpockets the opportunity to grab your bag. Keep your bags always closed and within sight.
• When travelling via public transport and at stations always remember to validate transport tickets, and do not leave luggage unattended, especially in crowded places. Make sure all your belongings are easily identifiable.
• Follow the traffic rules with your vehicle and do not stop at the request of strangers. Try to park in lighted places, close all windows, lock the doors and do not leave valuables visible inside.
• If you use a bicycle, it is best to lock it by the frame. It is also advisable to write down the serial number (if available). If it does not have one you can engrave on the frame a number or other identifier.
