Like in any large city in Italy, there is a high probability of encountering pickpockets, beggars, and even so-called clowns - disguised Roma people, with whom engaging in conversation can result in losing your wallet or something valuable.
If you were heavily pushed in the metro, bus, or store, immediately check if your wallet is still there. And never leave your belongings on the front seat of a car - they can be snatched even with the driver sitting next to you.
Turin also has its share of "shipattori" - young people on motorcycles who spot a victim, quietly approach from behind, grab a wallet, camera, or bag, and quickly disappear. Be cautious in the areas of San Salvario, near Porta Palazzo, and the eastern part of Porta Nuova, especially during the dark hours.
It's worth noting that in Turin, transport workers often go on strike while fighting for their rights. To avoid disruptions to your plans, check the schedule of transportation strikes in advance on the website.
