      Never been robbed in Madrid or Paris or Mexico City, just scammed in Paris once and never again.

    It's okay, friend, CDMX has been very safe for 5 years to date, it is currently one of the 10 safest in the country, if pickpocketing happens but when it is too full, for example on the day of the cry of independence, but your calm is safe

    I am Mexican and I live here in Mexico City. I heard comments that you could be robbed and that is not the case. As in any city, it could be that your wallet could be stolen, but believe me, it will only happen if you are in very inappropriate places with a crowd of people. Here on 5 de Mayo and Francisco I Madero streets, that will not happen. If you are observant, the people around you are not worried about their belongings being stolen. I don't like it when people say that you are risking your life or your belongings. It is not like that. It can happen anywhere in the world if you realize it. Mexico City is no more or less dangerous than New York or California Center. Enjoy Mexico City alone. Do not enter alleys or corridors that are dangerous. Only in neighborhoods like Tepito or La Bondogito or something like that. It could be possible that something could happen to you. Here, where you are, nothing will happen to you. If you go, Grivaldi, do not get drunk because there, maybe your wallet could be stolen. Ok, greetings, friend.

    Ana! Feliz cumpleaños. I loved Centro. Really intense, but I never felt I was at risk for pick pockets, but I"m always 'big city aware' of what's possible. This Sanborn's is gorgeous and the dining room equally stunning. So much to see and the sights are behind the entrances. Don't walk by, walk into!

    The guys with the organ grinders are called organilleros. And you're being a little paranoid with regard to theft. Yes, be alert but Mexico City is not Medellin or Caracas. I follow lots of Mexican and foreign youtubers who vlog from downtown Mexico City almost daily. Abrazos! 😊

      Thanks my friend!! Definitely much safer than Quito as well… especially at night. Just having the IPhone 15 pro and the DJI gimbal out I felt a bit more vulnerable of course! And thanks for letting us all know about the organilleros! Definitely adds a vibe to that area. Much love from CDMX 🇲🇽❤️🤗

      That same year I was in an armed holdup in a bar, but it was so low key that after 40 years of visiting I can still say I never felt unsafe in Mexico. By the way they didn't rob the women, just the bar and the men. When I related this story yo mexican friends they invariably said "Ay, son muy caballeros los mexicanos".

    Maybe you had an incect in your backpack. Because that's what we do. I do many times that when I see an incect or something on the person and many times they say to me are you triying to robe or something. But I just try to be nice to people. or sometimes when they eat and they have something on their teeth I tell them.

    you sound very paranoid about pickpocketing. At least in Madero or zocalo is not that bad, just common sense and common practice will do the trick as in why would you have important belongings in your back pockets or somewhere easy to pull out? as far as your gimbal and camera? no one will try to snatch or rob you of those in that area.

      @@demayoexperience while I completely agree that it’s not the most risky place, it still happens. My neighbor got his IPhone 14 stolen out of his FRONT pocket while waiting to cross the street down there. Easy to get distracted for just a few seconds and not pay attention. Thanks for watching.
