In Dubrovnik, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old Town and popular beaches. Overpriced taxi fares and unofficial tour guides are common scams, so using licensed services is recommended. Additionally, be aware of counterfeit tickets for attractions and avoid unmarked currency exchange offices to prevent fraud. Overall, staying vigilant in busy spots helps ensure a safe visit.
