Is Cluj-Napoca Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Cluj-Napoca

Since I moved here I didn't experience anything that would make me feel unsafe. I used to stay with friends in the city till after midnight and would come home alone and nothing happened. I was paying attention to my surroundings but I didn't have something to really be afraid of. Overall I would say it's pretty safe.

I feel much safer here than in Madrid (my home city), and the people are either kind or indifferent. I walk alone at night quite often, it's lovely. So far I have only been made comments, when I have walked around with my girlfriend (who is romanian). Nothing else.

It's a city for students, so most of the people are friendly. There are some creepy parts of the city at night, but the center is completely safe. I'm living in this city for more than 6 years and I have never encountered sexual or any kind of harassment.

There are very few instances in my life experience in which I was bothered, but I never got robbed or felt unsafe after dark, never had to fight. I can recall one experience in which I felt uncomfortable and I ran, but usually I feel safe and comfortable.

Cluj is overral a safe city, I rarely feel uneasy walking alone at night. On public transport there are occasionally drunk or unwell people that should be avoided. City center is very safe, normal caution is advised in regards to your belongings.

It was definitely less safe 10 years ago, but I think it has gotten better. I still fear walking alone at night, but in the city center it's fine. There are quite a few drunks wobbling around and seeing someone masturbating is still an often occurrence. I have not been attacked in more then 10 years on the street.

Solo travel

I went to Cluj for 3 nights in January. It was not the right time to go because it was snowing and you couldn't go outside without slipping almost every few moments. Trips from Cluj were very expensive, and public transportation was not good. I didn't really like this city, but the locals were always very friendly and helpful.
