In Romania, we were staying in Bucharest with my volunteer colleagues but we did day trips to Brasov several times because we like it a lot. Instead of sitting at the restaurant at the square we chose to go around and find smaller places which we end up liking. I don’t remember the names but I also suggest you to do so to escape from the expensive prices. Before going to Brasov you can also check if there’s any events going on because there’s something going on in most of the time there. As activities, you should go the “Dracula’s Castle” of course but transport to there is a bit tricky if you’re traveling in a group it would be the best to take Bolt/Uber. I haven’t tried it but the cable car 🚠 also seemed cool and my friends said they enjoyed it. Also don’t forget to check AirBnb for accommodation we stayed in one and it was in this quiet neighborhood out of the center which was so nice. It’d be so good for a winter vacation. Overall, Brasov seems to be very isolated and small which is its charm. Local people are so nice you can just come up to them and talk most of them speak good English.

Brașov is generally a quite safe place, except for a few areas on the outskirts of the city, where i usually avoid going alone in the night. I would say 80% of the city is completely safe to walk in alone in the night, but its good to take precautions, such as letting someone know where u are. There are a few buses on which it can happen to be touched inappropriately, almost always by roma men. Avoid sitting in the back of the buses. The city center and surrounding is safe. Emergency line is 112

Brasov is one of the safest cities in Romania. I’ve been living here for the past 30+ years. Besides small incidents of street harassment in the past (more than 10 years ago) no major events have happened to me. Also, being outside after dark is pretty safe as a woman. Public transportation is safe as well. As a turist try to avoid crowded areas and be aware of potential pickpocketing. Local police is usually present in public spaces, you can address any concerns to them.
