Yes, absolutely. What also helps is to have a physique that doesn't stand out (hair, eye-colour, height).
When on foot with my gear stashed I can manage that just fine (no camera, not obviously sightseeing) but it gets a lot harder when you drive your own car abroad or when you've just arrived somewhere.
