A worldwide crime rate top is placing Romania in leading places for the safest cities to visit in 2021. Cluj-Napoca is even in the top 15, outranking towns from the Netherlands, Switzerland, or Germany. The safest city in the world is Doha and at the opposite pole is the capital of Venezuela, Caracas. Brasov, Iasi, Bucharest and Timisoara are also part of the crime index as safe cities.
The top was published by Numbeo and it is a snapshot of the crime rate in mid-2021.
The presence of the Romanian cities in this top, among the safest localities in the world, is not surprising. We already presented the fact that Bucharest is one of the safest cities to travel to at the moment, while the crime rate in the city significantly dropped and the vaccination rate is among the highest in the country. Moreover, Bucharest is one of the European cities with the highest rate of English-speaking people, making it a friendly destination for international tourists.
All in all, Romania proves to be a country that definitely wants to get rid of its not-so-distant past, with lots of attractions to visit and many cities to welcome their tourists.
