Cash is still useful for small purchases, local markets, or remote areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Geneva, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like train stations and popular tourist spots.

Additionally, travelers should be wary of distraction techniques used by thieves and avoid sharing personal information with strangers. Overall, Geneva is considered safe, but maintaining vigilance in busy areas helps prevent common safety issues.
