Bucharest is mostly safe for women, except the verbal harassment and cat calling can be annoying. Please use ubers instead of the yellow taxis, as those latter ones will try to trick foreigners into spending much more than they have to - sometimes even 10x more. Food is great, diverse and cheap. Everything is open until very late. Public transportation is subpar but there are plenty of ubers.

The hostel i stayed at next to the train station really sucked, it was dirty and smelly with bugs, the dust hadnt been cleaned in forever and the area sucked, it was filled with creeps. The train station isnt the cleanest either. However Calea Victoriei was amazing, beautiful and really safe, filled with nice restaurants with good food and boutiques. it was a very touristy but pretty area. The national art museum is really awesome and cheap too. it has paintings from 1700-2000 featuring french, italian, romanian, spanish artists. It is huge. I also visited the Historic museum which has a replica of The Colosseum and toys and journals from the communist era which was very entertaining to see.
Posted: November 2, 2023In my opinion, Bucharest is very safe, and also very cheap. I felt safe, even when I was walking alone at about 1 in the morning. Tickets to museums and Uber were very cheap. Not everyone there can speak English, but they do their best to help you even with the language barrier. The hospitality of the Romanians is the best in Europe when it comes to the places I have visited.
Posted: October 8, 2023Things to do: - University Square - Romanian Athenaeum - Macca-Villacrosse Passage - Stavropoleos Monastery - Triumphal Arch Safety: I felt as safe as in any other large European city. Recommendations: Bucharest is a city that must be seen. This is something you probably have never experienced before. The city is dirty and beautiful at the same time.
Posted: August 7, 2022To Do: - Parliament Palace - Romanian Atheneum - Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum - Triumphal Arch - King Michael I Park - Cișmigiu Gardens Safety: I felt pretty safe, but it's a city with a population of 2 million, so you should be careful. Accommodation: I stayed at the T5 Social Hostel. Great hostel, wonderful people and I really enjoyed the atmosphere! Recommendations: Try to avoid taxis. They might try to cheat you. I recommend Uber, it's cheap and safe.

Very safe, clean city with lots of possibilities related to publoc transport. Everybody knows english so the language barrier is not a concern and people are usually very helpful when you ask for stuff.

I don't think it is the safest city but as long as you won't take the yellow taxi and you watch your bag carefully, nothing bad will happen. There are drunk people and bad ones but it depends on everyone experience. I feel safe most of times living here.

Hello, My first visit to Bucharest and I am delighted by what I see. A mix of old and modern, sometimes a bit confusing, but very pleasant to look at. I plan to come back to Romania to visit Transylvania. Fatma
Posted: August 3, 2024Experienced: July, 2024I was alone in Bucharest last year and I really enjoyed it there. I walked around a lot on my own, there is a lot to see and do. Plenty of great food and drinks. There is a huge, beautiful cemetery (Cimitirul Bellu) where I walked around for hours, and also Cismigiu park is really beautiful. I went on a one-day trip to Transylvania, which was a bit tacky, but overall it was a great day.

Hii! I am Eliza from Romania and I am looking for someone who loves traveling too. I am workaholic but when I have days off I always go to see a new country and learn something about another culture. I love exploring and I hope I can make some friends 🧡 It is not my first time traveling alone but it is nice to make some memories with someone else.
