Brașov is a very safe city. Nobody steals anything here. I have been living here for 3 months as an international student, and I also live in a dorm. It is a city full of internationals, and we have many people speaking English.

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.
