Small time charm comes with overall safety and the police is reliable. However, there is catcalling and mild level of harassment coming from Romanian men, potentially pickpockets in crowded areas and on public transport. Overall, it is one of the safest Romanian towns and would recommend common sense and being aware of your surroundings, but no need to proactively worry about safety.

Brasov is a safe place for tourists and locals. The people here are very kind. Public transport is great, we have electrical buses and the ticket can be paid using your card. Around the city you will find people that speak english pretty good.

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

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.
Posted: August 3, 2024Brasov is the 7th largest city in Romania, and the most visited. And the great thing about it is that is quite safe to explore. Brasov has a very low crime rate. As a woman who are living here, i can confirm that its perfectly safe, even if you are walking by night. What i would recommand is that instead of taxi use Uber or Bolt (usually taxi drivers take more money if thay see that you are tourists, but in general Bolt and Uber its cheaper and safer). There are also a lot of beggars, but just ignore tham
Posted: July 22, 2024In Romania, we were staying in Bucharest with my volunteer colleagues but we did day trips to Brasov several times because we like it a lot. Instead of sitting at the restaurant at the square we chose to go around and find smaller places which we end up liking. I don’t remember the names but I also suggest you to do so to escape from the expensive prices. Before going to Brasov you can also check if there’s any events going on because there’s something going on in most of the time there. As activities, you should go the “Dracula’s Castle” of course but transport to there is a bit tricky if you’re traveling in a group it would be the best to take Bolt/Uber. I haven’t tried it but the cable car 🚠 also seemed cool and my friends said they enjoyed it. Also don’t forget to check AirBnb for accommodation we stayed in one and it was in this quiet neighborhood out of the center which was so nice. It’d be so good for a winter vacation. Overall, Brasov seems to be very isolated and small which is its charm. Local people are so nice you can just come up to them and talk most of them speak good English.
