pretty safe!! only students who drink too much sometimes can become aggressive, but that’s still better than in Western Europe or Russia from where i come from. Overall I would rate safety as 8/10 for women
Posted: July 2, 2025There are some pretty interesting people here, but you have to get to know them, it's not just people who can be a problem. There are also wild boars, deer, and bears when they come into the yard or on the street.
Posted: June 30, 2025Budapest is pretty safe city. There are a lot of homeless people and beggars, but they are not dangerous. I’ve been living in Budapest for 3 years and I’ve never had an accident on the street. However, always stay conscious and keep an eye on your belongings. Better to stay around city centre, if you go outside, you would probably have a cultural schock, but nothing bad.
Posted: June 28, 2025Most of the districts are safe in Budapest. There are scarier areas like some parts of district 8 or 9 but overall I'd say it's actually okay. You just have to use your common sensd and then hopefully wo't get int danger.
Posted: June 24, 2025I would say very safe, but I lived for quite a few years now. Touristy areas are especially fine, but you'll encounter homeless people or drunk locals. The 8th district has some sketchy areas and around Keleti train station. I would say if someone exercises caution they will be fine

Since the moment I came to live in Budapest, at the beginning of 2024, I've already felt safe day and night, going around alone or with some friends. Strange people rarely bother you in the city centre.

I felt really safe in tha capital of hangary. I travelled with my family so it was a little different experience than travelling alone but it was very nice, people were helpful and open to give directions
Posted: July 10, 2025Ozora festival Is the second biggest trance music festival in the world. my experience was amazing🫶🏽 Here a few things you should know: -It would be cheaper to buy groceries and Cook for yourself. You can survive on the food on festival It’s Just More expensive. - The people are very nice, but you should whach out form things in drinks and ask abut anything that someone tried to give you - the festival grounds are big, very big, take with you what you think you’ll need from the camp to the stages, and try to locate your camp in the most convenient spot for you 💖
