Is it safe to visit Romania?

Romania is a generally safe country, where no terrorist attacks have occured. Crime rate is at a level lower than the European average. There are several databases which back up this information.
Romania ranks 138/163 on the Global Terrorist Database, while the Global Peace Index places us on position 22/163. This index considers factors such as militarization, society and security as well as domestic and interest conflict.
While we are proud with the low crime rate, corruption is still at a high level. You may find yourself in situations where authorities propose ‘mutually beneficial’ solutions. If these seem dubious to you, they most likely are, so you should refuse and seek legal justification.
Need to Know before traveling to Romania
- Confirm your passport is valid for 6 months from when you think your trip will end. Don’t get stranded.
- Get comprehensive travel insurance to cover you and your gear. Get insurance that’s right for you and covers your activities in the places you’ll go. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.
- Consider your physical and mental health. Get advice from your doctor if you’re unsure.
- See your doctor or travel clinic 8 weeks before you go for a basic health check
- Check if your medication is legal and available in the places you’re going. Take enough of your prescribed medicines to last the whole trip. Carry copies of your prescription and a letter from your doctor.
- Tell your bank you’re travelling and check if your cards will work. Have several payment options.
Driving
We usually provide transfer between the included attractions, but, just in case you decide to set off on your own and drive yourself around, there are a few things you should know.
Inside cities, pay extra attention at your surroundings. There are several drivers who are ‘in a rush’ and decided to break the law (risky overtakes, crossing red lights). If you intend to drive to a certain location, always look up available parking lots in the vicinity. You most likely won’t find a free parking spot that’s close to your destination, so it’s best to plan in advance.
Outside cities, you will drive mostly on National Roads which usually pass through several villages. Therefore, traffic will sometimes be slow and crowded. In and around these villages, you may even encounter carts or animals on the road.
Pickpocketing
While muggings are not a common occurence in our country, petty thieves are still lurking around. You may encounter pickpockets who attempt to steal your belongings. They usually operate in buses or in subway trains because these places are very crowded.
One way pickpockets act is by cutting your bag or purse open and disappearing with your items before you can realize what happened. The most important advice we can offer is for you to keep your belongings within eyesight at all times. Furthermore, if you bring valuables with you, it might be a better idea to leave them in the hotel safe when possible.
According to Romanian laws:
- Always carry photo ID – you should keep the original passport or ID card somewhere safe and carry photocopies with you
- You are prohibited from taking photos of airports, military sites or other secure locations (this includes drones – be careful, as you might have a non-pleasant surprise if you accidentally fly a drone in military airspace)
- Penalties for drug offences are severe. Depending on the seriousness of the crime, you can face up to 20 years in jail. Authorities are focusing more on finding the dealers rather than the users, but it’s always best to avoid getting in trouble
Travel Insurance
Before visiting a foreign country, you should always get travel insurance. This way, you can make sure that you and your family don’t find yourselves in financial trouble. Unexpected situations can bring forth costs you are not prepared for, but a good insurer can cover you and let you enjoy the rest of your holiday.
One example where travel insurance comes in handy is for healthcare services. Facilities available in your health plan such as free care or subsidized costs most likely do not apply outside your country. If you find yourself in need of medical services, you should know that they can be quite expensive. A good insurance company solves this problem, as they will cover these costs for you.

The Price of Food in Transylvania
Regardless of the itinerary you are traveling on, we usually include two meals per day: dinner and breakfast. There are certain windows in the schedule when you can wander off and enjoy lunch on your own account. Or you might want to extend your stay and continue exploring Romania on your own. In these cases, you should know the price of food in our country.
Budget Your Trip, a website intended to help people plan their budget, claims that the average price for meals in our country is 104 lei/day (based on three meals/day).
While meal prices in Romania can vary, the average cost of food in Romania is lei104 per day. Based on the spending habits of previous travelers, when dining out an average meal in Romania should cost around lei41 per person. Breakfast prices are usually a little cheaper than lunch or dinner. The price of food in sit-down restaurants in Romania is often higher than fast food prices or street food prices.
Budget Your Trip
Travel Costs in Romania
For our escorted tours, we include transfer from Bucharest or Cluj-Napoca. You will travel in a car, minibus or even a coach depending on the size of your group.
If you want to extend your stay and discover more highlights on your own, you should know a few things about transportation in our country.
- First of all, if you intend to travel to multiple destination, it would probably be a better idea to rent a car. Ordering taxis all the time or switching several buses can lead to a large final cost.
- The bus or the subway are the cheapest ways to move around the city. However, these means of transportation are usually very crowded and you run the risk of encountering pickpockets.
- Taxis are more expensive, but they offer a higher level of intimacy as you travel with your friends or family members only. Watch out for drivers who attempt to circle you around – they take advantage of you being foreign and artificially increase the sum on the meter this way. Also, avoid taxi drivers who attempt to negotiate the cost of the ride upfront as their proposed price is most likely a lot higher than what the ride is worth.
- Ridesharing services like Uber or Taxify are better options than a conventional taxi because you are told how much the ride costs in advance (the fair price, not a random high cost that the driver just came up with).
How many days do you need in Romania?
