Is a nice city, with friendly people. But as in any city, you have to pay atencion and be careful. The public transport is safe, but as a solo girl I wouldn’t walk alone on streets during the night. So enjoy
Posted: April 7, 2025Craiova is not a really a city woth a lot travelers so most of the time there are only locals there. After dark there are hardly any people out, only in the central city and even then after midnight there is basically no one. I don't really recommend it for solo travelers and anyway there is not much to do or see other than the Christmas Mark in Winter
Posted: March 17, 2025Craiova is a very nice place, I think it is quite safe, local people are nice. Of course, as in any other new place, you need to be careful. However, I feel like safety is not a big problem, I would say it is quite a calm place to live.
