I feel pretty safe here. There are some exceptions as there are in any cities in general, you need to be aware of your surroundings. It's definitely not the safest city, but overall ok. I would be careful with walking at night by myself, but I am a scaredy cat in general.

I was studying in Iași a while ago, pretty nice city, amazing architecture and a lot of young people that you can go on with. It was pretty safe even walking late night. The city is always up, with a lot of different activities for everyone.

So, I've never experienced assault or anything like that in my life when walking on the streets, but I've heard of extremely many cases of robbery. Also, it's not so safe to walk at night as a woman. There are many shady drunk or high dudes out there.

The center of iasi is very safe, for years I’ve never heard big story like SA or grape, I’m living here for most of the year for medical study, don’t go out a lot so my experience may be biased but I don’t feel unsafe when I go out even in night ( sometimes I go out alone at 02-05AM to bought some snakes, 15 minute by walk and use street with no light) and didn’t heard any assaulted from girls in my school. The only things I heard (was one time, a year ago) was a guy following girl to their way home but it seems he was mentally ill and didn’t touch these girls. So like anywhere be careful of course. But compared to france (where I lived for most of my time, city like lyon) it’s safer .

If ture a woman is a bit tricky but avoid certain parts and don’t go out very late and you will be completely fine The police is not very helpful, but also the crime rate is really low and we don’t have guns almost at all
