Pigeon Scam
Visitors to Buda Castle are increasingly confronted with a new scam.
The scammers offer to take a photo with pigeons, and then demand 10 euros from tourists for the photo.
This allows scammers to make a lot of money from gullible travelers.
Christoph Wehner, a future municipal councillor, said the administration intends to strengthen security in such places.
