Crime in Craiova, Romania

visit the botanical garden or cathedrals, other than that craiova is a fourth-world city full of street gangs, do your best to avoid anybody in there

I’ve been living in Craiova most of my life, but I have also lived in other cities in The Netherlands and Romania plus I’ve spent long periods in other western European cities and I can make some personal/subjective observations. The city is very safe with the exception of a couple of remote areas which you might want to avoid or be more careful while passing by, but I think every city has those. You actually feel safer in Craiova than in most European capitals or large cities. The perception of an unsafe city is created by the media which always tries to exagerate and insist on rare incidents in the past (in the areas mentioned above) for the sake of audience.
The previous comment is either ironic or simply ignorant. :)
