If you can avoid being pick-pocketed, sure.....
got pickpocketed in Paris by the Eiffel Tower.
A group of 4 girls came up to me begging for me sign a UNICEF petition or something, I couldn't help but oblige.
She managed to get my wallet out of my front right pocket
Oh well she got off with a $2 cheap as chips wallet and nothing in it except naked girl cards I had collected from LA. he hehehehe
******* idiots i had all my money and cards in a money belt on the inside of pants, new they were a scam after spending hours on trip advisor and just wanted to see what would happen, was very funny watching them run down the road knowing what shock they were in for, wish I could have seen there faces when they saw all the girls.
I had to belt a pickpocket in Madrid, he tried to do the old tie a bracelet onto your wrist really tight and then charge you 40-50 euro to get it off.
I told him no and then as he walked off he tried to grab my right wrist from behind which pulled my shoulder back (the one I had a shoulder reconstruction a year or two ago) natural instinct plus slight panic was to throw a massive left hook (I'm a left hander) which landed right o the sweet spot on the jaw, it dropped him to the ground, I grabbed the misses and flew through the crowd and down some side streets lol
