IMPORTANT WARNING

In spite of your being an experienced traveller, we also wish to warn you to watch out for pick-pockets and thieves who are always very active with travelers/foreigners on the airport and underground trains and around the railway stations and touristic sites. Their stealing fancy is endless: sometimes two of them pretend to quarrel or they ask touristic information to catch the attention of people, while a third accomplice steals your property, sometimes they are disguised as policemen and ask to check your documents and how much money you have and, at the end of this check, your money is gone.

Mind in particular the groups of children alone in the airport and metro trains and along touristic, crowded places: they are Roma children (gypsies even if well dressed) who seem harmless but are very efficiently trained to take away your purses, wallets, bags and suitcases without you not even realizing it.

We do not want to scare you, after all Rome is certainly safer than the other large towns in the world, but it is better to be cautious than sorry!
