Safety and Security in Romania

Romania—and Transylvania in particular—is a very safe destination for travel and research.

Geopolitical & Regional Security: The war in Ukraine has no impact on safety or security in Romania. Isolated regional events remain hundreds of kilometers away from our location and have had no effect on the region.
Low Crime Rates: Violent crime in Romania is extremely low. Crime statistics in Transylvania compare very favorably to major North American and European cities, with most issues limited to occasional petty theft. Applying standard, everyday common sense is all you need to stay secure.
Minimal Terrorism Risk: Romania is ranked among the countries with the lowest terrorism risk worldwide (according to the Global Terrorism Index).
Border Security: As a EU member state with active, regulated border controls, transit in and out of the country is closely monitored.
