Nothing unique about Europe when it comes to long waits and lousy service if you want to deal with a person Try getting a live person when calling any US company
Comment from : @timdowney6721

The whole world knows that Italy, France, 🧖‍♀️ n, Portugal are pickpocket dens Why do the governments do nothing about it The world has moved ahead There are CCTVsthe police can be alert You report to the police, they do nothing I'm 100 sure the police and government officials are involved They get a cut from the loot
Comment from : @bhaswatiroychoudhury4212

Was in a small town in the west of Portugal and they limited the amount you could take out of the ATM per day to €50 Marginally frustrating to say the least

The airport??? A Casino???? Could you pick any worse places to use an ATM??? The conversions and bank fees will be way higher in those places Bad advice How old is this video?

Thank You Rick Steves #Fan

Just to clarify the flawed crime statistics Rick mentions - the European conception of America as a crime wasteland is as if not more ignorant than anything Americans believe about Europe The vast majority of murders in America are concentrated in 5 of the nation’s counties, so in reality you are safer in many parts of the US than you are in many places throughout Europe It depends on the areas we are comparing London’s murder rate surpassed that of NYC several times in the last three years brbrThe Crime Prevention Research Center issued a report in 2017 demonstrating the concentration of murders in America, with 68 percent of murders occurring in just 5 percent of US counties The murders also tend to be concentrated in small pockets of those counties brbrIn 2016, half of all murders occurred in only 2 percent of US countiesbrbrRick’s comments on crime in Europe versus the US are misleading at best The primary difference is that at least in most of the US you maintain an exercisable right to defend yourself, which in theory also exists in Europe, except for the fact that European citizens are largely deprived of all practical means of self defense
Comment from : @BacktotheOutdoors

Men - never keep your wallet or your cell phone in your back pockets, keep them in your front pockets He's right about beggars Usually they are women and a front for some man or organization I don't agree with his waist pack idea Immediately it makes you a target as an American and many criminals have box knives to cut those off
Comment from : @wberckmann

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday announced that a 'limited lockdown' will be imposed across the nation to curb the spread of coronavirus disease (Covid-19Y’all should develop an online income means and focus more on bitcoin I have been into bitcoin for a while now

How common is Apple Pay in Europe in 2021?
Comment from : @JohnPoole726

And police that will ask for your passport and not give it back until you give them cash
Comment from : @miaballester3978

Wallet to put in front pockets brbrLonger travels put your money reserves in a small flat bag with cord at your neck(also safe for passport)brbrNot only Europe, worldwide
Comment from : @maximhollandnederlandthene7640

Don't trust all cash machines in India, some are a scambrBest use the atm connected at a bank
Comment from : @maximhollandnederlandthene7640

Love your content, sir! 🥰
Comment from : @Misanti888

when I travel I leave all my important things in the hotel safety - most of them provide it in your room - and carry only the essential with me Nothing in the back pockets, if a wallet always in the front pocket A zip bag inside my shirt and in front Carry a copy of my document original in the safety Seen too many tourists going to the embassy cos their passport had been stolen or lost And never stop to listen to the stories of the beggars or street sellers Just keep walking and avoid them

What are the gun laws in Europe?
Comment from : @lenny38138

If you get targeted it’s best to give them the $20 in your pocket If you have nothing they may get violent

2:37- I listened to that a few dozen times Had to turn subtitles on "Ooooohthat's what he said" Yeah It seemed a little out of character

cute for an old man but foul mouth sorry
Comment from : @wildflowerdeepjoy8589

What Rick fails to mention is that not all ATM machines are created equal There are many ATM machines like EuroNet that will charge you an exorbitant amount in exchange rates and fees Don’t naively think you can go to any ATM and you’ll be getting the best rate of exchange possible with no fees
Comment from : @tonysamos2113

Your claims about Europe being safe versus the United States are not supported by the facts If you go to the World Bank site and check, Europe & Central Asia (excluding high income) has a homicide rate of 6, if you include high income areas the rate is the rate is 3 You are not "10 times safer" in Europe! The homicide rate in the US is 5 The source for the data is the UN Office on Drugs and Crime's International Homicide Statistics database I am disappointed you didn't do even the lightest research before making this video With that said, I travel to countries with much higher homicide rates on a regular basis and always feel safe by using good travel skills, much of which have been inspired by your videos People need to do their own research and make informed decisions about their travel decisions Someone trying to sell tours should not be the source
Comment from : @sailingstonerose

Really good experience-based advice!
Comment from : @airportshotels3060

Excellent
Comment from : @AnhTuPhucDerrickHoangCanada

I've been to most European countries I've seen a few scam games going on, but I've never seen or experienced theft of any kind Same with all of my travelling friends I think the problem is greatly exaggerated, but it's still smart to follow these tips just in case
Comment from : @johnnymartinjohansen

This came up on auto play so I am seeing it long after posted but I am loving this Pick pocket hand in your pocket reminds me of Times Square on NYE several years ago (SEVERAL!) I could feel a hand go in to my pocket and I just chuckled to myself because there was NOTHING in there It was cold so I was wearing multiple pairs of pants and my money was on the pair underneath Yes it was more difficult for me to get to but nobody was stealing my goods! :-)
Comment from : @brendajos

Shopping downtown in my country has taught me to evade pickpockets 🤣
Comment from : @hat880

I got pickpocketed in Seattle, Washington USA

Comment from : @texicalisally4480

My wallet is literally chained to my jeans a literal chain If they try to steal it, I'll know
Comment from : @frankparent463

Thank you for providing this information I appreciate it!
Comment from : @larivasesq8841

I agree with Rick on everything He doesn't mention but others have that you need to notify the holders of your credit/debit cards that you will be abroad BE SURE to also include your layover cities i had breakfast in a layover in Heathrow and couldn't use my credit card, because I hadn't told them I was going there, just my destinations!
Comment from : @ClareDurst

Great advice!
Comment from : @yvettesienkiewicz5552

perhaps leaving your valuables, passport etc in your hotel room is fine but as far as hostels ? i'm not so sure
Comment from : @QueenOfHeartsx

German police is blue now And you should carry cash in Germany We don't like paying electronically
Comment from : @solidstate9451

White areas in America are just as safe
Comment from : @ecthelion1735

When you say at 0:36 that "nearly everyone has the same coins jangling in their pockets" you are misleading people The euro is used in 19/50 countries and by a minority of people Even within the EU there are 3 countries that don't (currently) use the euro
Comment from : @Alan_Mac

A fanny pack is a sign your a tourists and makes you a target my wallet ha a chain on it plus it locks so ill feel a tug if my wallet is being taken my passport and id is on my person and its not possible to get it without being stripped
Comment from : @randommandoade1465

Omg you look like my old apush teacher
Comment from : @juanenriquez9245

Let's be realistic Rick Steves, the Americans you are talking to or watching your videos are NOT the Americans who are in danger of being shot by a gang member They most likely live and work in places as safe or safer than big European cities Get off your high horse
Comment from : @larsonbwl

I've had a friend who had her whole suitcase stolen from her hotel room It was a nice hotel too
Comment from : @TeaandFiona

I got pickpocketed by a gypsy woman at Termini the ONE day I did not put my ATM cards or cash in my money belt
Comment from : @northofyou33

You talked a lot about hotel rooms Why do you stay in hotels? Have you tried private apartments like Airbnb or VRBO? I find them much superior to hotels
Comment from : @jd3422

Good information for the time that this was presented, in 2016 Now most US cards have chips, which make it very easy
Comment from : @jd3422

As added protection, you can wear a flexible abdominal elastic brace over the money belt
Comment from : @thereseember2800

It is great!
Comment from : @oliverlin1969

I am excited I've spent a bit of money on extra security features, travel pacsafe backpack and wallet I am also buying a cross over bag with security features (same as pacsafe, just a different brand) I've also purchased the money belt with RFID protection to carry my passport and extra money The wallet or bag will only contain a days amount of money like your suggestion, however, how much is a "days amount of money in europe?"
Comment from : @mezziemoo8560

Great positive message

Not all countries in Europe use the euro UK uses ££££ Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland don't have euros they use different currencies
Comment from : @Tuffydipstick

At least in the US, they leave you alone No scams and the people were helpful
Comment from : @CharlesvanDijk-ir6bl

There is no country in Europe that has a higher criminality rate the US He do have some fair points about pickpocketers, especially in the major cities in the south of Europe
Comment from : @Felixxxxxxxxx

Travelling from Australia to Europe, before starting holiday be sure to inform your bank you will be out of the country and will be making withdrawals in foreign countries, otherwise they may refuse transactionsbrI had this problem twice in the past when visiting Europe and also USA

I wonder if anyone has tried putting a mouse trap in their back pocket as a surprise to a thief?
Comment from : @nickjene6571

Comment from : @daniellereid7576

Some European ATMs have withdraw limits They want you to withdraw money in small amounts several times to earn their commission
