4. Not taking advantage of the Free and Self-Guided walking tours
This is one thing I love about traveling in European Cities. There are so many free guided tours that will make your trip truly easy and memorable.
You can even create your walking tour.
To help you with it, I will be making my 2 days Travel Itinerary in Paris plus a travel planner that you can download to help you get started with planning your next adventure in Paris.
5. Being careless and not wary of your stuff
Remember the times when your momma tells you to mind your belongings?
That still holds true in Paris.
There are a lot of pickpockets and scammers in Paris.
Although this city is so glamorous, it is not different from other tourist destinations.
One scam that I notice is rampant around the city is the “Petition Scam”.
Someone will approach you and ask if you speak English and ask to sign some kind of Petition.
Do not fall for the trap. It is not for charity or whatever good purpose.
Some of them use kids to lure you, but they are pickpockets and the moment you pull out your wallet out of your bag and start getting money, they will steal from you.
So be careful and be mindful of your belongings.
If somebody approaches you, best is to say FIRM NO and just walk away.
