Skimming Hotspots 2026: The 50-City Edition

Fifty cities. Where card skimming actually concentrates in each one, which payment habits change the moment you land, and the three things experienced travellers do differently there.

Bangkok, Mexico City, Prague, Marrakesh, Ho Chi Minh City, Barcelona, Rome, Istanbul, Cape Town and forty-one more. 67 pages, instant download.

What is inside

• 50 city chapters, each naming the zones that matter and, just as usefully, the ones that do not
• The carry layout that makes the difference, adapted per city, because what you carry in Tokyo is not what you carry in Barcelona
• Emergency card-cancellation numbers and local emergency numbers, checked rather than copied
• Printable cut-out cards sized to fit a passport sleeve

Why we wrote it

Most travel-security advice is either frightening or useless. It tells you the world is dangerous without telling you which street corner to pay attention to, or it repeats the same four tips whatever country you are in.

This is the opposite. It is specific, it is city by city, and where we could not verify something we left it out rather than padding the page. This is not a ranking, and inclusion does not mean a city is dangerous. It means the pattern is documented well enough to be useful.
