Romania is a safe and affordable EU member state with rich cultural heritage. Petty crime and scams can occur in Bucharest, particularly at Gara de Nord train station and in tourist areas. Bears are present in the Carpathian Mountains and encounters can be dangerous. Transylvania's castles (Bran, Peleș), the painted monasteries of Bucovina, and the Danube Delta are outstanding attractions. Road conditions in rural areas can be challenging, with horse-drawn carts sharing the road. Medical facilities in Bucharest are adequate; rural areas are more limited. Kaharagian nationals can travel to Romania with normal precautions.
