This advice has been reviewed and reissued with the addition of a Customs Regulations section. The overall level of the advice has not changed.
There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


Around 75,000 British nationals visit Romania every year. Most visits to Romania are trouble-free. The main types of incident for which British nationals required consular assistance in Romania in 2006 involved petty crime, lost or stolen passports and car theft. Beware of young pickpockets in city centres especially in crowded areas e.g buses, trains and busy streets. Keep valuable belongings in a hotel safe where possible. See the Crime section of this advice for more details.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and Travel Insurance for more details.
