I went to Romania in May and drove across the country to Bucharest, Sibiu, and Brasov as well. I liked Bucharest but enjoyed Sibiu and Brasov way more. The people are very friendly and the places are very pretty. Stayed in the Lipscani area of Bucharest and I found that to be safe. Dracula’s castle was cool but very touristy. English was spoken in all three cities/areas. I also used Uber in Bucharest and didn’t have a problem.
Posted: October 17, 2023I went in May, it was a little rainy but mostly ok. I stayed just one night in Bucharest, then a further 4 in Brasov. I would definitely recommend a stay in Brasov. From Brasov, I did both Peles and Draculas Castle, took a walk up Tampa Mountain to the Brasov sign viewpoint, and did a bear-watching experience. Felt very safe.

I really enjoyed my time there and was soooo happy we where able to visit different cities with the train. Not sure i would have felt safe alone as a women in the cities. The country side was very welcoming and felt safe. The food was great !
Posted: October 8, 2023Absolutely loved Romania. I spent time in Bucharest, Sibiu, Hunedoara, Sighişoara, Poiana Brasov, and Ceptura de Jos. Did the Transfagarasan road and a few of the Castles. The trip is one of my favorites. I drove it and found it easy to get around, the people warm and friendly, and very inexpensive.
Posted: March 25, 2023I loved my time at the Black Sea beaches near Constanta. I only did a day trip to Transylvania and wish I had longer because it’s beautiful. I recommend the food tour "markets and mahallas" in Bucharest. Also loved the Romanian village museum in Bucharest.
Posted: March 25, 2023I was with a group of friends but often pulled away from them to do my own thing. During my trip, I spent most of my time in Bucharest, staying in the Old Town area, and also in a rural villa near Brasov. Despite traveling alone, I felt safe and had no issues when using trains, trams, and buses to explore the local area. Even when I accidentally took a train in the wrong direction, I found that people were very willing to offer assistance when asked. One of my most vivid memories of the trip was how helpful and friendly the locals were. I even ventured to an area that was supposedly rough, Ferentari, but had no trouble navigating there and back to Old Town. I highly recommend staying in the Old Town area, which, while touristy, has a vibrant atmosphere and is always bustling with people. The Old Town bric-a-brac market was a particular highlight of my trip, as it had an eclectic mix of vintage designer and everyday jewelry, old money, maps, art, cameras, and other curiosities.
Posted: March 3, 2023I did Romania solo and loved it. Felt very safe, the locals were friendly and helpful. I spent time in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj (to see the salt mine), and went to see the painted churches in the NW region. I travelled around with the train and blabla car.
Posted: November 25, 2022We did Cluj, Apuseni Mountains and Salina Turda (salt mines) with 2 more girls. It was absolutely the best. We stayed in Cluj via couchsurfing. Then we hiked the mountains - got lost there every single time but always got saved by locals. I recommend trying “sarmale” “mamaliga” and their pancakes (can’t remember the name). Romanians do have really delicious cuisine.
Posted: November 20, 2022Itinerary: Day 1: Bucharest Day 2: Sighisoara Day 3: Sibiu Days 4 and 5 - Brasov Day 6: Bucharest Day 7: Bucharest Safety: I felt quite safe almost all of the time. Recommendations: Romania is absolutely gorgeous yet underrated.
Posted: September 25, 2022I was amazed by the beauty of Romania. I went trough Transylvania and visited Bran, Fagras Mountains (recommend if you are into trekking) there are incredibly beautiful landscapes, Retezat National Park another trekking area with amazing views! For cities to be honest I was not much amazed but I rented a car and went trough the rural villages that Romania is surrounded with it, it was an amazing journey. Sighisoara and Maramures were the best places I have visited.

I have a question about Dracula's Castle & Romania! I really want to visit Dracula's Castle in Romania while I'm there! I'll be going from Budapest, Hungary to Romania! Questions: -Which city is best to stay in for Dracula's Castle? -How easy is it to get a bus or train from Budapest into this city (the one you decide to suggest)? Extra information about buses and trains from Budapest into Roma...
