The main live cautions are spillover effects from the war in neighboring Ukraine, routine petty crime, and seismic/weather risk; there is no sign of a countrywide disruption to normal tourism. Visitor activity appears to be growing, with recent reporting showing higher arrivals and several 2026 best-places lists featuring Romania.
