Romania is a relatively safe country and you can usualy walk without any problem on the streets at night. However, there are some scams you should know about, like not trusting any taxi driver. The taxi drivers might take advantage of foreign people, so make sure that you have a local person to give you instructions. You can also use Uber in Bucharest. Uber is an app for your phone that can help you get personal drivers and the prices are the same as the taxi. You can link your account with your credit card so you do not need to worry about money and tips when using it. In addition, the cars are very nice, the drivers speak English and you can look at their GPS to check the route.
