However, in Bucharest, it can get quite busy during rush hours and pickpocketers may take advantage of crowds. Extra caution is always needed when covering sensitive topics such as organized crime or illegal logging. In a nutshell, Romania is a safe country by European standards.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>How is the weather like in Romania?<\/h4><p>Romania has a temperate climate, with four seasons. Winter is in December, January and February and then every other season takes every three months. Weather gets below zero and snowy during the winter (from December to February) and really hot in summer, above 30 Celsius (June to August). If you plan on filming in Romania you also need to consider the average rainfall. November and April are the rainiest months.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n<p>If you are scouting for Romania film locations and plan on shooting here, you should know that Romania is a very safe country.
