Is Timisoara Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I was in a hostel with people from argelia, turkish and other people from northern africa. At the beginning they seem nice but I stayed in a mixed dorm and in the morning the guy in the upper litter was jarking off, I told the receptionist to pit me in another room, they gave a solo room. One day I went for a running and a guyy stopped me in the street talking romanian and when I said I didn’t speak he said if I wanned to have sex with him, that he had big pennis, i left running the guy still repeating this, I didn’t find one police all the way back to the hostel, the few days I stay after this I notice guys harassing mice looking womens in the street telling them things and every time I tried to go visit some touristic place at least one guy would try to start a conversation put of nowhere. No, I didn’t feel safe here guys. Just to find out later that is one of the countries that allows LEGALLY for women to sell themselves for marriage. Ciao

Very safe place! You can enjoy the parks, the squares, the malls numerous coffee’s and a tasty food. By night you have a lot of clubs The weather in summer is pretty hot , around 30 and in the winter it is pretty cold so it is way much better to come in May ;) If you need an advise or a guide in Timisoara, don’t hesitate !

This is my hometown, and it is a safe city. As a tourist, I think maybe taxi drivers would try to get more for a ride, but even that is rare. You might find one or two people try to pickpocket you, but also rare. Things would have to be flashy to get you noticed. I go on walks after dark, alone, and I never feel unsafe. But as women, we always keep our eyes open for any issues,so I would just say: be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine.

Timisoara is generally very safe. One thing to avoid are dark parks (which dont have illumination) in the night. You might get robbed there. Also, there are a few pocket thieves in public transports and bus/ tram stations so you want to be careful with your belongings. Basically no need for extra safety measures except common sense.
