Is Budapest Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Budapest

I think Budapest is a very safe city, even at night. In the city center the streets are full at night in the summer, so you dont have to be scared. However there are some parts that you should avoid, so I would recommend to trust your guts and if a district doesn’t feel safe turn back.

i would not describe budapest as dangerous, although catcalling does happen and creepy men do make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe from time to time. i’d say it’s totally fine for a woman to visit budapest alone, but i would recommend avoiding the 8th district, the train stations and the less crowded areas at night.

Its absolutely fine but you must be awake especially at night. In the city center you are in safe but there are some districts where you must be awake. But people are usually really nice, so you dont have to worry.

I am from India and living in Budapest made me feel like “ wowww i am really living here, so much freedom” - wayyy safer than India, i come back home late at night from parties and i had never ever anyy bad experience!!! i am really love being here. It’s safe.

I think budapest is one of the safest Eu capitals, i have been living here for 5 years and never had a bad experience, i even have lived alone for 3 years and not even knowing the language and i have had a good time

I would say that Budapest is mostly safe, but there are districts that are better to avoid, especially at night (7&8th district). If you avoid not well lit streets and Blaha square at night, then you should be okay. Also, if you have to wait at night for the bus and you are with a group of people but at a skechy bus stop, it is nice if you can make others feel at ease around you e.g. you can ask them if they want to stand with your group or stuff like that - just looking out for each other 😊

I think this city is safe for girls and a perfect destination for girls trips, me personally i dont have much bad to day about the city’s safety obviously there are bad and weird people anywhere but i would not call this ciry unsafe, its better to stay together withs group or even just someone else

I think Budapest is safe if you expect the worst, you are safe. Maybe some districts are not safe always like 8. district or 7. district, but nothing worse than government, so if you just visit the country you are safe.

Living in multiple cities before, I have to say, Budapest is very safe. Even though there is a lot of „night life“ in the area or I got some catcalling on the street, I never felt like I shouldn’t go outside by myself just because it is dark. As a women you feel safe in the city

The city is safe in general and public transportation works 24/7. Personally,I have never been robbed. The only threat might be caused by drunk people who can fight with each other and invade into you personal space

Solo travel

Well, never visit in peak winter time. You won't be able to see anything. It was all foggy. Even the famous tourist attractions were mehh cause the view was blocked by the fog. Plus it's too cold. Always book in advance else it will be very expensive.

Family travel

Very cute city. It has also very good weather in Summer. There some many things to do there. People are nice, and transport was very good as well. I would alway recomendaciones to go to the balnearies.
