Safety
Visitors should take normal safety precautions in Romania;
keep valuables safe and be aware of pickpockets and scam artists in
major cities. Corruption is rife and visitors should be cautious of
policemen demanding fines for spurious offences, or asking to see
documents as a way of stealing cash; if approached in this way
visitors should offer to go with them to the nearest police station
before handing over any money or documents. Valuables, including
passports, should not be left in hotel rooms.
