A super great experience ! I spent 3 days here with my best friend and we didn't have any problem. The city is beautiful and there are many things to do. People we met were funny and cool. Even at night we feeled safe.

My last trip was to Budapest, Hungary, a self-gify for my birthday and I went solo (as usual). Be aware to plan your visits since there's plenty of things to see, BUT only in your mind! Buy tickets when you are on site (apart from the Parliament, book that in advance and PRINT the ticket!), because with the Budapest Card a lot of attractions, restaurants and experiences are free or discounted! Public transport included (100% for free). Speaking of which, it was VERY easy to use and well connected, either Google Maps or the app BudapestGo make moving around town a piece of cake. For the money,...

Budapest is a beautiful city, very safe if you are in a group of girls, alone I don't know. It's a fun city that always offers something different and culturally spectacular. I've met new people who have given me lots of advice on the right and uncommon places to visit. There are many Italians ready to give you their opinion :)

It’s generally a safe city. However, at night some intoxicated people can become aggressive. If you come across someone who doesn’t seem fully aware of their surroundings, it’s best to ignore them, keep walking, and avoid engaging in conversation, as there is a risk of being robbed. Even if someone asks for help, be cautious and think carefully about the situation, as it could potentially be a scam.

Budapest is not the worst city by safety level but definitely not the best You have to watch out not just for your belongings and stuff but your safety. There are some areas where you don't want to walk around at all not even during the day. As I said Budapest is not the worst either so you'll find plenty of nice areas where you'll feel safe. :)

It’s pretty chill. I don’t really have a night life, but I’ve walked home alone at 3am in Blaha. A lot of people say Blaha and Keleti aren’t the best places to visit, but it’s not that bad in my opinion

I’m a pianist, and sociologyst at the same time. I love making new friends, talking about the univers, the meaning of life, listening music together, and talking about our impressions, and looking for figures in the clouds. I’m also a big foodie, and open to try all kinds of food and new experiences, but i’m vegan (also for healt reasons). I prefer the non-touristy stuffs.

About me
Heeeey!!I’m Lara 🙋♀️ I’m 17 and basically obsessed with everything international — travel, cultures, languages, people… you name it. ✈️🌍 Every chance I get, I’m either planning my next trip or already packing for one.I’ve been traveling regularly with my family since I was a kid (Spain is our second home at this point 🇪🇸💛), and solo travel doesn’t scare me either — I spent a whole year in Italy as a foreign exchange student, and honestly? It changed my life. completely. That year taught me so much — how to be independent, confident, and flexible in new situations. I came back speaking fluent Italian 🇮🇹 and with even more motivation to explore the world. I’m also fluent in English (C1) and currently working on my Spanish, because let’s be real, languages open doors😉😉 I’m active, curious, super social, and I always try to bring positive vibes wherever I go 🌞. Oh, and I’ve also learned how to multitask like a pro (juggling school, language learning, and babysitting my younger brother and cousins has definitely trained me well) 😅 Long story short: I’m ready to explore more, grow more, and be part of something exciting!!!Can’t wait to get to know more and more people 🥰
