Pick pockets are a threat in Brasov, so be vigilant when walking around. Many locals will stop tourists in the streets to talk to them, but, they may be interested in either begging or in stealing your money.

It is advisable not to stop and talk to such people. Also, be careful while walking in the streets as there are many potholes. You should not wear flashy jewellery and watches as it could attract negative attention and make you a target for thieves.
