  • No problem, its not some golden rule you should follow (especially from an internet stranger) but it’s mainly bad roads, bad economy (poor police/ambulance availability), the little Roma villages/gipsy makeshift living areas, where I would not show up alone with any valuables (similar to gipsy ghettos near big cities) and last but not least wildlife. While bears and other predators are not uncommon, rabid dogs are also a possibility.

    Before somebody accuses me hating Romania (its a beautiful country with incredible landscapes and the capital and developed parts are very popular tourist destinations), the above is also applicable for many other europen countries. This is why I strongly suggest doing some research before planning such trips, as the relative safety and enjoyment of a holiday can vary from region to region within a small country. This is why its borderline impossible to give a straight answer to the original post.



  • Not sure what answers you looking for, if you want to have a carefree vacation just read some reviews of specific countries and regions.

    If you are backpacking or planning a multi-country trip I would check the crime rates of the places, there are many websites with the statistics available, like THIS

    As a general rule of thumb popular places and big cities will have the highest crime rates, while smaller cities and countryside the lowest.

    Also I would avoid solo trips and backpacking in general in the rural parts of less-developed countries, like Romania, etc.

    Pretty much thats it. Europe as a whole is probably one of the safest travel destinations in the earth with some planning and common sense.
