How safe is Cluj-Napoca?

Safety at night:Safe

Cluj-Napoca is generally a safe city to walk alone at night, with low crime rates. However, as in any city, caution and vigilance are always recommended. It is advisable to stay in well-lit areas and avoid deserted places or parks after dark. Public transportation operates efficiently and should be utilized when possible. The local population is friendly and helpful, often willing to assist should any issues arise.

Public transportation:Safe

Public transportation in Cluj-Napoca is generally safe and reliable with a network of buses, trams, and trolleybuses servicing the city and its suburbs. It is used often by the local population, including students, workers and the elderly. Crime rates on public transport are low, though pickpocketing can occur, particularly during peak times so always keep an eye on your belongings. Furthermore, the signage and announcements are mostly in Romanian, which might be challenging if you don't speak the language, but many locals and drivers speak English and are willing to help.

Street harassment:Low

Cluj-Napoca is notably safe and welcoming for solo female travelers. Instances of street harassment are relatively low and are generally not a pervasive issue. As always, it's important to remain vigilant, especially at night, but many women have reported feeling secure and comfortable while exploring this vibrant city, even on their own.

Petty crimes:Low

Cluj-Napoca, one of Romania's major cities, is generally safe for solo female travelers. Petty crimes such as pick-pocketing or bag snatching do occur, mainly in crowded places like public transportation or tourist areas. However, these incidents are relatively rare and not as prevalent compared to other major European cities. Extra caution should always be exercised, especially at night and in secluded places.

It is generally a safe town because there's a lot of youth and it's a vibrant city. There are a few neighbourhoods that are not as safe (deep in Marasti or Manastur), but as travellers I don't think you could end up there as long as you take care when looking for accommodation. And even in those parts, generally the people are not aggresive, you might encounter drunks or things but they don't attack others.

Is Cluj-Napoca worth visiting?

Solo travel

I went to Cluj for 3 nights in January. It was not the right time to go because it was snowing and you couldn't go outside without slipping almost every few moments. Trips from Cluj were very expensive, and public transportation was not good. I didn't really like this city, but the locals were always very friendly and helpful.

About Me

I'm a 50ish Irish Lady who loves to travel and explore and meet new people. I mainly house and pet sit when I travel but I've also done volunteering and couchsurfing as I go. I don't drink but I know how to have fun without alcohol 😁. I like trail running (I'm very slow), CrossFit (I laugh a lot at myself doing this), yoga (who doesn't want to feel zen and find inner peace).
