Oops, forgot the most important advice: Keep most of your money, your credit/ATM cards, and your passport on your body, out of sight and in a difficult-to-access spot -- get a money belt of some type. Pack very little, and don't pack anything you're not willing to lose. I've had stuff stolen on two out of four European tourist trips, but the second time all I did was laugh and go shopping.
