The experience was quite nice. You can sightsee here a lot because the City is small. Also you can use the tramway to go everywhere. Bailey Felix, Bear Cave, Piata Uniri are the famous places to see.

Hello! I want to share with you a beautiful experience from a trip I took to Romania. My mother is from there, so I’ve been lucky to visit this country several times, about 5-6, since I was little. Every time I went, I felt very comfortable and safe, especially in the area where my family lives. I never felt any threat or danger, which made me enjoy my holidays even more. One of the places worth seeing is the museums. Although I don’t have many other recommendations, what’s certain is that Romania holds a special place in my heart. I will definitely go again, because every trip there gives me the chance to discover new sides of the place connected to my roots. I recommend visiting it if you want a different and authentic experience. !

I had a good time in Romania. I didn’t always feel very safe because of the many abandoned buildings, even in the center. But I saw a lot of police around. It’s a cheap country, public transport worked well, and even if there weren’t many activities, I still enjoyed a couple of days. I’d recommend it for a low-cost short trip.

My trip to Romania was my first solo trip abroad and it was amazing 😍 The locals were so friendly! Especially when I was hiking on my own and they invited me to join them. I started with visiting Constanta during off season and it was very empty and peaceful. Bucharest has plenty of beautiful green places around the city which I loved. I finished in Brasov area with a lot of hiking and visiting castles and I highly recommend you go there too!

I think as far as european capitals go, Bucharest is one of the safest cities in have been in. There are of course exceptions but i have had no problems walking by myself, living alone, going out at night, moving throughout this city. People do not seem that welcoming at first, but there are plenty gems all around, and people who open their hearts to everyone!

Except from the fact that you have to be a little bit careful in public transportation to thieves, otherwise it’s a really safe country. There are, of course, some places where it’s not that safe but in general are not at all tourists attractions there so there is no danger for a foreigner to come to Romania.

you can walk alone at night as a girl and you are most of the time safe and left alone. except for some areas like Ferentari it’s pretty safe. ppl are friendly and except for men cat calling you from time to time everything is fine. you should be careful to robbers though.

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.

If you go to the popular areas, it's safe. At night, if you are not alone, I'd say you have no thing to worry about. There areas that are not safe, but there is also nothing the visit there. The nice places are mostly safe.
