Recently, the number of tourists from various countries traveling to Romania has increased. The Embassy in Romania has received reports from individual Chinese citizens about theft incidents in Romania, resulting in property damage and subsequent travel disruptions. The embassy reminds Chinese citizens to abide by local laws and regulations, strengthen security measures, and travel healthily, safely, and responsibly.
Make Pre-trip Preparations: Before traveling, please research the local security situation, entry requirements, and weather conditions in Romania. Make rational choices regarding travel cities, routes, and activities. Choose reputable travel companies, avoid solo “free travel” or “adventure travel,” and inform family members of your travel itinerary and plans. Keep emergency contact information for relatives and the embassy for any unforeseen circumstances.
Pay Attention to Traffic Safety: Driving speeds in Romania are relatively fast, and some road sections are narrow, making traffic accidents likely. When traveling by bus or crossing the road, be attentive to vehicles and road conditions. Additionally, tourists should not drive vehicles in Romania solely with a Chinese driver’s license. Without a local valid driver’s license, do not rent or drive motor vehicles to avoid adverse consequences.
Ensure Document and Property Safety: Carry important travel documents, such as passports, on your person. It is recommended to separate them from bank cards and cash and keep photocopies as backups. Be vigilant in safeguarding personal belongings when checking in and out of hotels, dining out, sightseeing, and using public transportation. Pay attention to suspicious individuals and increase awareness of theft and robbery prevention. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and wearing valuable jewelry, watches, etc., on your person.
