Safety overview

Safety at night:Safe

Iasi is generally considered safe for solo female travelers even at night. Compared to many Western European cities, the crime rate in Iasi is relatively low. While minor incidents of pick pocketing can occur in crowded areas, violent crimes are uncommon. However, like any city, there are certain areas you may want to avoid after dark, so it's always wise to stay aware of your surroundings and exercise the usual safety precautions - this includes not flaunting valuable items in public and avoiding empty streets. Public transportation services are reliable and safe, with many locals using them even late into the night. It's always recommended, though, for solo female travelers to use trusted local taxis or reputable ride-hail services for late-night travels.

Public transportation: Safe

Iasi's public transportation, which includes buses, trams, and taxis, is generally considered very safe. The vehicles themselves are well-maintained and the services run regularly, generally adhering to the schedules. There is adequate security measures and regular enforcement, ensuring that the safety of passengers is prioritized. Pickpocketing can be an issue, so it's crucial to keep an eye on your belongings as you would in any large city. Apart from this, you should have no major safety concerns.

Street harassment: Low

Iasi, being one of the large educational centers in Romania, sees different cultures and diversity and hence, has a relatively liberal outlook. Street harassment is generally low, though, like anywhere, there may be some isolated incidents. Always stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings. Do not hesitate to approach local authorities if you feel uncomfortable or threatened.

Petty crimes:Low

Iasi generally has a low risk of petty crimes such as pickpocketing and purse snatching. Like in all cities, it can occur, especially in crowded places, but is less common. It's essential to maintain awareness of your surroundings and keep your personal belongings secure at all times. The main key to safety is always prevention.

Tap water:Safe

The tap water in Iasi, is generally deemed safe for drinking. The local government regularly monitors and treats the water supply to meet acceptable health standards. Nevertheless, if you come from a place with different water treatment procedures, sudden changes in water composition might upset your stomach. So you may need an adjustment period or prefer to use bottled water for the first few days.
