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.
Posted: December 24, 2024Timișoara 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)
Posted: December 23, 2024This is my hometown, and it is a safe city. As a tourist, I think maybe taxi drivers would try to get more for a ride, but even that is rare. You might find one or two people try to pickpocket you, but also rare. Things would have to be flashy to get you noticed. I go on walks after dark, alone, and I never feel unsafe. But as women, we always keep our eyes open for any issues,so I would just say: be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine.

Timisoara is generally very safe. One thing to avoid are dark parks (which dont have illumination) in the night. You might get robbed there. Also, there are a few pocket thieves in public transports and bus/ tram stations so you want to be careful with your belongings. Basically no need for extra safety measures except common sense.

Italy
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

Hi! I'm Kincső, currently I am in my last year in studying architecture. I travelled a lot in 2024, thanks to my erasmus program. I was in Italy, in Padova, but visited 12 cities and places in 5 months. That is my personal record:)) I'd like to continue to visit and travel, and connecting with people who are visiting the beautiful Timişoara. Unfortunately i don't have the opportunity to host, maybe this will change. But i would love to give you tips, have a coffee and showing around. :))
