Is Romania safe for solo female travelers?

Romania generally provides a safe environment for solo female travelers. The locals are friendly and helpful, and public spaces are well-policed. However, like in any country, it's necessary to be cautious, particularly in crowded areas where pickpocketing may occur. Also, while Romania has a fairly comprehensive public transportation system, it is advisable to avoid late-night travel when alone if possible. Regular safety precautions like avoiding isolated areas at night and not sharing location details with strangers should be practiced.

The experience was quite nice. You can sightsee here a lot because the City is small. Also you can use the tramway to go everywhere. Bailey Felix, Bear Cave, Piata Uniri are the famous places to see.

Sighisoara

Small town with not a lot of people. The streets are usually completely empty at night. Always felt safe. Have not heard of petty theft happening, however avoid walking in the very desolate parts of town, because attack & roberry has happened (by members of marginalised minorities and extremely seldom tho').

Bucharest

born and raised here, it was way less safe in the early 00’s, nowadays its safer than most european capitals. just be careful of pickpockets around very crowded places like north railway station or unirii square

It's a city full of students so overall it's very safe, night life is active but there are young and polite people at every corner. In the daytime you really dont have to worry about getting approached as a girl but I would be careful of pickpockets.

About me

I’m someone who likes to connect, I also like honesty, and self-growth. I enjoy learning about people, noticing small details, and bringing warmth into the spaces I’m in. I’m thoughtful, curious, and always becoming a better version of myself. Short, human, and basic , or painfully specific, that’s also doable.
