Dangers & annoyances

Although it is unlikely you will be subjected to a Mafia shoot-out at your favourite pizzeria, there is petty crime here, particularly in Palermo, with pickpockets and bag-snatchers most notably in the marketplaces. Car theft is also a problem in the city, so use private, guarded car parks if possible or, better still, walk.
