Is Romania safe for solo female travelers?

Romania generally provides a safe environment for solo female travelers. The locals are friendly and helpful, and public spaces are well-policed. However, like in any country, it's necessary to be cautious, particularly in crowded areas where pickpocketing may occur. Also, while Romania has a fairly comprehensive public transportation system, it is advisable to avoid late-night travel when alone if possible. Regular safety precautions like avoiding isolated areas at night and not sharing location details with strangers should be practiced.

The experience was quite nice. You can sightsee here a lot because the City is small. Also you can use the tramway to go everywhere. Bailey Felix, Bear Cave, Piata Uniri are the famous places to see.

Romania, Solo travel

Hello! I want to share with you a beautiful experience from a trip I took to Romania. My mother is from there, so I’ve been lucky to visit this country several times, about 5-6, since I was little. Every time I went, I felt very comfortable and safe, especially in the area where my family lives. I never felt any threat or danger, which made me enjoy my holidays even more. One of the places worth seeing is the museums. Although I don’t have many other recommendations, what’s certain is that Romania holds a special place in my heart. I will definitely go again, because every trip there gives me the chance to discover new sides of the place connected to my roots. I recommend visiting it if you want a different and authentic experience. !

Bucharest, Solo travel

I had a good time in Romania. I didn’t always feel very safe because of the many abandoned buildings, even in the center. But I saw a lot of police around. It’s a cheap country, public transport worked well, and even if there weren’t many activities, I still enjoyed a couple of days. I’d recommend it for a low-cost short trip.

My trip to Romania was my first solo trip abroad and it was amazing 😍 The locals were so friendly! Especially when I was hiking on my own and they invited me to join them. I started with visiting Constanta during off season and it was very empty and peaceful. Bucharest has plenty of beautiful green places around the city which I loved. I finished in Brasov area with a lot of hiking and visiting castles and I highly recommend you go there too!

It’s pretty chill, I don’t go out much here,but I’d say it’s the okay, I do go out at night though and nothing unreasonable has ever happened, it’s safe but also kinda boring 😅 Lots of clubs too by the way

I feel pretty safe here. There are some exceptions as there are in any cities in general, you need to be aware of your surroundings. It's definitely not the safest city, but overall ok. I would be careful with walking at night by myself, but I am a scaredy cat in general.

Bucharest

I'd say it's generally pretty safe objectively. It doesn't always feel the safest, but it's not very common for stuff to happen and I've walked alone at night. Granted, I was scared shitless and often resorted to pretending I was on a call, but that's also my paranoia 😅

Bucharest

Unless you go to a creepy area, which you can tell by it being very dark, houses looking poor pr bad, Bucharest is extremely safe. You just have to be cautious as everywhere else. I’ve walked at night with no problems till now.

About me

I’m Antonia, originally from Bucharest, currently on a trip through South America for an indefinite period of time! I’m a former athlete, in love with every kind of outdoor activity, and always with a huge zest for life, bad jokes and silliness! Slowly building a nomadic lifestyle, at least for a couple of years. I’ll be doing a mix of traveling and working, which has been my lifelong dream. I’m a coach and I work with people going through burnout. I absolutely love my job and the kind of path I am carving for myself. I would love to meet other travelers along the way and share new experiences together!
