- Areas in tourist hotspots that require a little more vigilance have been revealed in a new infographic
- Rome, Amsterdam and Athens are all in the guide, which picks out the spots within the cities popular with thieves
- In Barcelona, the guide says, pickpocketing is seen as 'a generally practised and accepted sport, like soccer'
Holidaymakers exploring attractions such as the Old Town Square in Prague or Eiffel Tower in Paris are usually too busy exploring to keep a constant eye out for prying hands.
But a new infographic has pinpointed the areas that require extra vigilance.
The guide, which was created by UK-based accommodation website City Base Apartments, illustrates where in Europe travellers are most likely to be made a victim of pickpocketing.
The first of nine cities on the infographic is Barcelona. Visited by more than 7.5million holidaymakers a year the guide states that Spanish locals in the destination see pickpocketing as 'a generally practised and accepted sport' as it happens so often. Las Ramblas, Plaza Catalunya, Barrio Gotico and Carrer Montcada were highlighted as pickpocketing hotspots in the city.
Rome, Madrid, Amsterdam and Athens are also in the hall of shame, which names famous attractions and landmarks including the Red Light District, Omonia Square and the Notre-Dame Cathedral as favourites for thieves.
From The Ponte Vecchio in Florence to Oxford Street in London, here the infographic illustrates the city break destinations that are said to be the hotspots for five-finger discounts in the continent.
