I spent 10 days in Romania, spending the full last two days in Bucharest and I felt very safe all the time. I highly recommend visiting Brasov or anywhere else in Transylvania (e.g., Sinaia) because it's beautiful there. The mud volcanoes were probably one of the highlights of my trip.
Posted: February 12, 2024I went to Romania in May and traveled across the entire country to Bucharest, Sibiu, and Brasov. I liked Bucharest, but I enjoyed Sibiu and Brasov much more. The people are very nice, and the places are very beautiful. I stayed in the Lipscani district in Bucharest and I believe it's a safe place. Dracula's Castle was cool, but very touristy. Everywhere in these three cities/districts, English was spoken. I also used Uber in Bucharest and had no problems.
Posted: October 17, 2023I went in May, it was a bit rainy but for the most part it was ok. I stayed one night in Bucharest, and then another four in Brasov. I definitely recommend staying in Brasov. From Brasov, I visited both Peles Castle and Dracula's Castle, took a walk up Tampa mountain to the viewpoint on Brasov sign and participated in bear watching. I felt very safe.

I really enjoyed my time there and was soooo happy we where able to visit different cities with the train. Not sure i would have felt safe alone as a women in the cities. The country side was very welcoming and felt safe. The food was great !
Posted: October 8, 2023I was with a group of friends, but often separated from them to do my own things. During my trip, I spent most of my time in Bucharest, in the vicinity of the Old Town, as well as in a rural villa near Brasov. Despite traveling alone, I felt safe and had no problems using trains, trams, and buses to explore the area. Even when I accidentally took a train in the wrong direction, people were very willing to offer help when I asked for it. One of the most vivid memories of the trip was how helpful and friendly the locals were. I even went to a place that is supposedly dangerous, Ferentari, but I managed to navigate there and back to the Old Town without any problem. I highly recommend staying in the vicinity of the Old Town, which, although touristy, has a lively atmosphere and is always full of people. The antique market in the Old Town was a particular highlight of my trip, as it had an eclectic mix of vintage designer and everyday jewelry, old money, maps, art, cameras and other curiosities.
Posted: March 3, 2023I was traveling alone in Romania and found it very good. I felt very safe, the locals were kind and helpful. I spent time in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj (to see the salt mine) and went to see the painted churches in the northwestern region. I traveled around the area by train and used blabla car.

Budapest was not a conventionally beautiful city but the history it holds made it all the more intriguing and special. Hiking in the Fagars mountains was amazing and I made many of my dearest memories there.
Posted: March 9, 2024I absolutely fell in love with Romania. I spent time in Bucharest, Sibiu, Hunedoara, Sighişoara, Poiana Brasov and Ceptura de Jos. I drove the Transfagarasan Highway and visited a few castles. This trip is one of my favorites. I drove myself and found that getting around was easy, the people are warm and friendly, and the costs are low.
