Is Bacau safe for women?

It's pretty safe here. Of course, there are few people who might say some unwanted things, but honestly, I didn't have any bad experience here, but you can never know for sure. 😅 Overall, the city is pretty quiet

Pretty chill city, not turistic so not a lot of things to to see, but ok city to live in. It has a nice mall with a couple of shops, we have a great island with a park in it, and right now there is a bridge buying build over the city which is really cool.
