In Split, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old Town and on public transport. Some taxi drivers may overcharge, so it’s advisable to agree on a fare beforehand or use official taxis. Avoid unlicensed vendors selling tickets or tours, as scams involving counterfeit or overpriced services have been reported. Staying vigilant in busy tourist spots helps ensure a safe visit.
