In Zagreb, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like public transport, markets, and tourist spots. Common scams include taxi drivers overcharging or taking longer routes. It's advisable to use official taxis or ride-hailing apps. Additionally, travelers should be wary of street vendors selling counterfeit goods and avoid unlicensed currency exchange offices to prevent fraud. Staying alert and securing belongings helps ensure a safe visit.
