Safety Advice for you Bratislava Stags to keep in mind…


Like in every tourist area, there is petty theft and confidence games – much less in Bratislava than in most tourist cities around Europe. If you follow our common sense tips and heed the warnings listed here, you will be safe.


There are some pocket thieves downtowns – usually preying on wallets or mobile phones. Keep your wallet close, don't flash it about and always put your wallet in your front pocket.

A common trick involves creating diversion – perhaps a begging child or a street brawl to distract your attention. If this happens, clutch to your belongings and calmly walk away.

Downtown, sometimes there are organized gangs, primarily consisting of women posing as tourists. They may have maps or other tourist paraphernalia. They surround you, someone 'accidentally' pushes you and before you know, your wallet will be gone.

There have been a few reports of female con artists who approach individual men or groups of male tourists. They may act drunk, want to take you for a drink to a bar and rob you of your money there or along the way. Simply refuse if things look fishy, say you are not interested and walk away.

Always ask for a printed receipt in restaurants. If it seems you are being overcharged, ask the waiter to explain items on the printed receipt against the prices on the menu. Remember side dishes are usually charged extra. Do not under any circumstances settle for a handwritten receipt – all service establishments are required to operate electronic cash registers by law.

IN THE STREET OR MARKETPLACE
Always carry identification papers.
Carry handbags and photographic equipment crossed in front of your body.
Carry wallets in inside pockets, in handbags, or in zip-closed waist wallets.
Do not carry more money than necessary; do not flash your money when making a payment, and do not join in any street games where you have to make bets, they are a fraud.


IN THE HOTEL
Always keep your baggage in full view when arriving at or leaving your hotel especially if you travel by coach.
When you leave your room, close the windows and lock the door.
Use the safety deposit boxes available in the hotel to store your valuables and only take them out when they are to be used.
Always leave the key to the room at the hotel reception desk.
