We have received multiple reports of pickpocketing incidents (including attempted incidents) in Helsinki. These incidents have occurred on public transportation and on the streets, where victims have had their bags opened without realizing it.
As stated in our “Safety Guide,” pickpocketing targeting tourists is a common issue. To prevent such incidents, travelers and residents are advised to remain vigilant with their belongings, such as backpacks, on public transportation, in department stores, and on the streets.
