Posted: June 16, 2025Experienced: May, 2014Hello! I want to share with you a beautiful experience from a trip I took to Romania. My mother is from there, so I’ve been lucky to visit this country several times, about 5-6, since I was little. Every time I went, I felt very comfortable and safe, especially in the area where my family lives. I never felt any threat or danger, which made me enjoy my holidays even more. One of the places worth seeing is the museums. Although I don’t have many other recommendations, what’s certain is that Romania holds a special place in my heart. I will definitely go again, because every trip there gives me the chance to discover new sides of the place connected to my roots. I recommend visiting it if you want a different and authentic experience. !

I had a good time in Romania. I didn’t always feel very safe because of the many abandoned buildings, even in the center. But I saw a lot of police around. It’s a cheap country, public transport worked well, and even if there weren’t many activities, I still enjoyed a couple of days. I’d recommend it for a low-cost short trip.

My trip to Romania was my first solo trip abroad and it was amazing 😍 The locals were so friendly! Especially when I was hiking on my own and they invited me to join them. I started with visiting Constanta during off season and it was very empty and peaceful. Bucharest has plenty of beautiful green places around the city which I loved. I finished in Brasov area with a lot of hiking and visiting castles and I highly recommend you go there too!

Bucharest gets a bad rap online but whilst it's not an amazing destination in itself, it can actually be a really pleasant base for the rest of Romania. There's not a lot of obvious attractions but if you look a little off the beaten path, take day trips out or even explore the more "free range" musuems there's actually plenty to do. The Old Town is cheesy but has some genuinely great nightlife nestled near with some pretty architecture too. My top tips would be to check out the fascinating contrast of Vacaresti national park and take the "ghosts and folklore" walking tour through the city.

Brasov was absolutely amazing, the perfect encapsulation of both the natural beauty and fascinating cultural history of Romania. It was safe, welcoming and relatively inexpensive with excellent food. Tip tip - don't miss the Piatra Craiului national park.

The center of iasi is very safe, for years I’ve never heard big story like SA or grape, I’m living here for most of the year for medical study, don’t go out a lot so my experience may be biased but I don’t feel unsafe when I go out even in night ( sometimes I go out alone at 02-05AM to bought some snakes, 15 minute by walk and use street with no light) and didn’t heard any assaulted from girls in my school. The only things I heard (was one time, a year ago) was a guy following girl to their way home but it seems he was mentally ill and didn’t touch these girls. So like anywhere be careful of course. But compared to france (where I lived for most of my time, city like lyon) it’s safer .
Posted: June 13, 2025Honestly, I felt pretty safe in Romania. Like, I didn’t have any sketchy experiences or anything. Just use common sense, especially in bigger cities at night, and you’re good. People were actually super friendly too. ^^
