To be honest is quite safe. People can be grumpy but will help you either way. I never had a problem walking alone, of course you need to be aware of certain aspects like not leaving your things unprotected, but overall it is safe for women to be and walk alone.

It is a very safe place from e poeple point of view. The only issue is that there are a lot of stray dogs that may sometimes become violent, but people are very friendly and help if needed. The dogs at night may become protective of some areas of the city and may bite.

You might (rarely) see drunken or loud local people in the center, but even the shady looking neighbourhoods are actually quiet and really safe. I spent a lot of time here as a kid/teenager and never have i had a bad experience on the street. I cannot speak for tourists. Anything might happen i guess, but the locals are usually very nice people. I like it here so much!

Timișoara is a beautiful, quiet, and safe city. I often walk alone at night and have never had any problems—occasionally someone might call out a word or two, but nothing extreme. As with any destination, it’s still wise to take basic precautions. Enjoy it!

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.
