How safe is Timisoara?

I honestly wouldn't go out after 10 pm honestly. There are too many creepy guys on the street and u should be careful, and if u really want to go out at night, make sure you're with someone, AND NEVER ALONE!

It is a cosmopolite multicultural city with studenta, expats, tourists from Europe mainly. Old town built by the Austro-hungarian empire, offers great opportunities to enjoy art, local cuisine, cinema and theatre festivals and nightlife

Very safe city, at any time of day or night, in any corner of the city you might be. Public transport is very well organized (with small exceptions :)) ). As a woman, you can feel safe in Timișoara.

Usually I never had a worry walking at night. It might vary of where are you going ( for example if your home is located on the outskirts of the city. But if you stick to the central zone and around it, it's very safe.

Romania is in general a very safety place and especially Timișoara. I walk alone at night and I travel with the transport and I am not afraid at all. Of course there are some places not so safe, but in rest is very good.

Timișoara has many neighborhoods, and it all depends on how well you know the city (if you are with a local). All people are generally super helpful in need, especially because it is one of the 'student cities' in Romania. There weren't many instances when i felt in danger, especially as i am presenting feminine, but at all times someone jumped in to defend me (even strangers)

Is Timisoara worth visiting?

Italy

Solo travel

I was in a hostel with people from argelia, turkish and other people from northern africa. At the beginning they seem nice but I stayed in a mixed dorm and in the morning the guy in the upper litter was jarking off, I told the receptionist to pit me in another room, they gave a solo room. One day I went for a running and a guyy stopped me in the street talking romanian and when I said I didn’t speak he said if I wanned to have sex with him, that he had big pennis, i left running the guy still repeating this, I didn’t find one police all the way back to the hostel, the few days I stay after this I notice guys harassing mice looking womens in the street telling them things and every time I tried to go visit some touristic place at least one guy would try to start a conversation put of nowhere. No, I didn’t feel safe here guys. Just to find out later that is one of the countries that allows LEGALLY for women to sell themselves for marriage. Ciao
