Oradea is pretty much a safe city but of course like in any other town “accidents “ happen sometimes yet it’s very rarely . As long as you don’t wander on streets at night I think you’re 100% safe because almost nothing happens in the day time .
Posted: October 5, 2024Iasi is a very safe city. There are some areas where I didn't feel completely comfortable walking alone at night, especially with groups of men around. The train station area there are a lot of people consuming substances, so that is one example of those kinds of areas.

I think it is a safe town especially the center and citadel area. If you go to the outskirts of the town you might have to be a bit more careful. But just general awareness. I would not be too worried
Posted: September 21, 2024The north is very safe, center is full of pickpockets, the metro is safe at any hour of the day. I am worried at night only at the outskirts of the city. There are night buses which are generally safe.

It is generally a safe town because there's a lot of youth and it's a vibrant city. There are a few neighbourhoods that are not as safe (deep in Marasti or Manastur), but as travellers I don't think you could end up there as long as you take care when looking for accommodation. And even in those parts, generally the people are not aggresive, you might encounter drunks or things but they don't attack others.

Brașov is generally a quite safe place, except for a few areas on the outskirts of the city, where i usually avoid going alone in the night. I would say 80% of the city is completely safe to walk in alone in the night, but its good to take precautions, such as letting someone know where u are. There are a few buses on which it can happen to be touched inappropriately, almost always by roma men. Avoid sitting in the back of the buses. The city center and surrounding is safe. Emergency line is 112
Posted: August 16, 2024Cluj-Napoca is one of the safest cities in Romania. During the day I find it very safe, at night I would avoid some places such as the train station or "Piata Mărăști", or the neighbourhood called "Mănăștur". Nothing extremly dangerous, just a light feeling of unease.
Posted: August 15, 2024This is my hometown, and it is a safe city. As a tourist, I think maybe taxi drivers would try to get more for a ride, but even that is rare. You might find one or two people try to pickpocket you, but also rare. Things would have to be flashy to get you noticed. I go on walks after dark, alone, and I never feel unsafe. But as women, we always keep our eyes open for any issues,so I would just say: be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine.

Brasov is one of the safest cities in Romania. I’ve been living here for the past 30+ years. Besides small incidents of street harassment in the past (more than 10 years ago) no major events have happened to me. Also, being outside after dark is pretty safe as a woman. Public transportation is safe as well. As a turist try to avoid crowded areas and be aware of potential pickpocketing. Local police is usually present in public spaces, you can address any concerns to them.

I traveled here as a WWOOFer and stayed on two farms, by which I made friends and traveled with them in the city—they happened to be locals which made exploration of the neighboring cities easy and so much fun.
Posted: September 11, 2024Romania is a very safe country. You get the occasional pickpocketing, but nothing else. I have traveled by car, bus, train, etc, and I never felt in danger. You can fly to the major cities pretty much from all the big European capitals and don't limit your visit to just Bucharest and Dracula's castle. You will be missing a lot of what RO has to offer if you just go there.
