Visited Romania for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $68/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.
AMA.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
