Almindelige svindelnumre i rome, italy og sådan undgår du dem

GadesvindelSpanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Colosseum area

1. Rose or bracelet handouts

Sådan fungerer det: A person approaches and places a rose or a string bracelet on you, then demands payment for the gift before you can hand it back. Often works in pairs to corner the tourist.

Sådan undgår du det: Do not make eye contact, keep your hands busy, and say a firm no. Walk away and do not accept anything handed to you.

GadesvindelCrowded squares, Metro stations, Termini station

2. Friendly stranger distraction

Sådan fungerer det: A seemingly helpful local points out dirt on your shirt, asks for directions, or offers to take your photo. While you are distracted, an accomplice lifts your wallet or phone.

Sådan undgår du det: Keep a hand on your valuables and politely refuse help you did not ask for. Do not let strangers handle your belongings.

TaxaFiumicino and Ciampino arrivals halls, Termini station

3. Unlicensed airport drivers

Sådan fungerer det: Drivers without a taxi license approach arriving passengers inside or just outside the terminal and offer a ride at a high or unclear price. They are not metered and may take long routes.

Sådan undgår du det: Only take licensed white taxis from the official rank outside Arrivals. Never follow someone who approaches you indoors.

TaxaTermini station stands, tourist-heavy streets

4. Meter refusal or overcharge

Sådan fungerer det: Some licensed drivers refuse to turn on the meter and quote an inflated flat rate, or claim night or luggage surcharges that do not apply. Fixed fares and published supplements exist.

Sådan undgår du det: Ask for the meter or the official fixed airport fare before the ride. Refuse rides where no meter is started.

5. Tourist menu trap

Sådan fungerer det: Restaurants near major sights display no prices, add heavy cover and service charges, or charge separately for bread placed on the table. Bills arrive much higher than expected.

Sådan undgår du det: Check that prices are printed on the menu before sitting down. Ask about coperto and service charges and refuse bread you did not order.

ValutavekslingTermini station, central squares, airport

6. Poor-rate exchange booths

Sådan fungerer det: Bureaux de change near main squares advertise no commission but apply a very wide buy-sell spread or hide fees, leaving you with far fewer euros than expected.

Sådan undgår du det: Withdraw from a bank ATM instead, or use a major bank's exchange counter. Compare the actual rate against the mid-market rate before converting.

Offentlig transportMetro trains, Termini, Piazza del Popolo

7. Petition or donation scams

Sådan fungerer det: Someone with a clipboard asks you to sign a petition for a fake charity, then presses for cash. Children sometimes work these in pedestrian areas or on buses.

Sådan undgår du det: Do not sign anything or handle the clipboard. Say no and keep walking, and keep your wallet deep in a zipped pocket.

8. Skip the line ticket sellers

Sådan fungerer det: On streets near the Colosseum and Vatican, people sell 'skip the line' tickets that are overpriced, fake, or not valid for the site they promise. They may also be reselling rescheduled vouchers.

Sådan undgår du det: Buy official tickets only from the official websites of the site or from the official ticket offices. Check that the vendor is listed on the official site.
