\nWhen visiting the markets in Rome, you\u2019ll want to be careful as much as you\u2019ll want to have fun. Roman markets draw hundreds of people, including those who would rather pick pockets than pay for items. Keep your money and other valuables close to your body and make it a point to not flash your cash about as you make a purchase. Hold purchases carefully as well.<\/p>\n
