Risk Map & Attractions
Common Scams
Pickpocketing
Common in crowded tourist areas and on public transport. Thieves work in teams using distraction techniques.
Keep valuables in zipped inner pockets. Be extra vigilant in Temple Bar and on buses.
Taxi Overcharging
Some drivers take longer routes, refuse to use meters, or claim card machines are broken to demand cash.
Use licensed taxis with visible ID. Confirm meter use before departure. Use ride-sharing apps when possible.
Bar/Pub Overcharging
Some pubs in tourist areas charge inflated prices or add unexpected service charges to bills.
Check drink prices before ordering. Ask about service charges. Keep track of rounds ordered.
Fake Charity Collections
Scammers approach tourists with clipboards asking for donations to fake charities, often using distraction for pickpocketing.
Politely decline and keep walking. Don't stop or engage. Donate to established charities only.
ATM Skimming
Devices placed on ATMs to steal card data and PINs.
Use ATMs inside banks. Cover keypad when entering PIN. Check for suspicious attachments.
