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.

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. !

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!

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.

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 😅

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.

I think as far as european capitals go, Bucharest is one of the safest cities in have been in. There are of course exceptions but i have had no problems walking by myself, living alone, going out at night, moving throughout this city. People do not seem that welcoming at first, but there are plenty gems all around, and people who open their hearts to everyone!

About me
Hi, I'm Loubna, a french student that study in Romania (Iasi). I started to really like travel since I do solo-trip, even if I was nervous at first I really liked the sense of independence and the thrill of exploring new things with only myself as company. I'm currently making an effort to improve my social skills 😂😂. I’m looking forward to meet new people and sharing good memories together. Apologies in advance for my English —I’m still working on it! 😅 I don’t speak dajira 🇲🇦 but understand it enough to catch the sense.
