In Bordeaux, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like markets and public transport. Beware of distraction scams near popular attractions and avoid unlicensed taxi services. It's also advisable to keep an eye on personal belongings and use secure payment methods to prevent fraud.
