SO much fun!! I stayed for 2,5 days. I spent my first afternoon around Parcul Herstrău. Next day I booked a guided bus trip to Brasov, castle Peles and castle bran (Dracula) and third day I did some sightseeing downtown, specially botanical garden and Old town (beautiful!!) At night I went to club control with my host girl and we had a lot of fun! I felt safe all the time without exceptions, which never happened before! People are very respectful and almost everyone speaks English
Posted: March 30, 2025Bucharest is a very beautiful city. You can explore most of it in 2-3 days, and you will be able to keep the trip low budget. You should visit their museum, bookshop (Carturesti Carusel) and the Parliament. I felt a bit unsafe during nighttime, whenever my male friends weren't around.

I love Brasov for a city break. Its a city full of nature and it’s just what you need to have a relaxing time. You can also hike there to peak Tâmpa. It is an easy hike but if you go in the winter you should have winter shoes because it’s slippery. Very fresh air, very beautiful views. The is amazing. I recommend “ Dei Frati” restaurant they have amazing pasta but you need a reservation as it’s almost always full. You can take the bus from there and go to Poiana Brasov for skiing. It’s a cheap drive like 1 euro . Have fun!!

I felt so safe! People are lovely, the town is quiet. The Christmas Market was amazing with many handmade and artisanal pieces of art. La Turn is definitely a great restaurant. I'm in love with Cafe Wien as it's a core childhood memory. Mercure is great, but so many hotels right in the centre. Traffic is good. Definetly recommend! (Kinda cold for some people, -3°C. But it's worth it for that frozen winter wonderland vibes).
Posted: January 2, 2025Experienced: November, 2024We walked around the Christmas Fair which was magical, had the best Langos and mulled wine. Brunch at Charlie’s was a treat and we also stumbled upon a handmade market where we got ceramics, candles and stickers as souvenirs. Would definitely recommend!
Posted: December 27, 2024I’m in LOVE with Romania ❤️ Visited twice and will be visiting more! Places I have visited are Sinaia, Busteni, Brasov, Bran, Sighisoara, Sibiu, Lake Balea, Transfagarasan, Bucharest and Cluj. About Romania: beautiful nature, friendly people, good food, very affordable, perfect for roadtrips, ideal for solo travelers as well! Never felt unsafe as a solo female doing a roadtrip!
Posted: October 16, 2024Romania is a very safe country. You get the occasional pickpocketing, but nothing else. I have traveled by car, bus, train, etc, and I never felt in danger. You can fly to the major cities pretty much from all the big European capitals and don't limit your visit to just Bucharest and Dracula's castle. You will be missing a lot of what RO has to offer if you just go there.

Hello, My first visit to Bucharest and I am delighted by what I see. A mix of old and modern, sometimes a bit confusing, but very pleasant to look at. I plan to come back to Romania to visit Transylvania. Fatma

I’d say it’s a moderate town, after dark it can become a bit scary, especially for a single woman. I’d avoid the city center at night, Palas neighborhood and Henri Coandă. Probably the safest way after dark to make you way in the town as a woman would be Uber/Bolt. They are very affordable.
Posted: April 2, 2025Oradea is the most safe country in Romania. City center, and almost every neighborhood are very safe. I’d be worried only in Valenta neighborhood because there live other ethnic communities. Public transportation, walking around alone by night are overall safe.
