Easily one of my favourite cities I’ve ever been to. You can’t look anywhere without being in awe somehow. Only spent two nights here but really wish it were longer. I’ll be coming back to Budapest soon I know it.

I love this city so much! It's stunning and there is so much to do. Also places to stay are relatively cheap. I visited in 2023 and I do have to say prices of especially food have gone up a lot since then, but it's still cheap in comparison to where I'm from (Amsterdam). There's great hiking areas north-west of the city which I highly recommend!

It really is a mesh of western and eastern society. It reminded me of Soviet era countries (in a good way). Amazing architecture and if you find a good place to eat you will be blown away. I recommend getting a guide and taking the metro, it is a landmark in itself!

It was so good. We went to the Buda Castle and saw the dazzling Parlement building. We also experience their thermal pool and it was so relaxing🫠 My trip to Budapest was mostly relax and chill journey. I really enjoy it

I think it’s pretty safe. Im going back home alone at night a lot. Taking the bus during 1 hour until the last stop and it’s always safe. (Im living in the north of the city so it’s the part that I know more about). But the city center is really safe.
Posted: May 15, 2026I always feel safe, nothing ever happened with me or with anyone i know there, but always pay attention to your surrounding because you can never be 100% sure and i think that applies for everywhere else in the world

Budapest is overall a very safe and clean city to travel to. 24/7 public transportation is available, including local taxi service like Bolt, so you will always find your way back. The center is very international.
Posted: April 23, 2026In day time it's totaly safe, in night time Buda is more safer than pest but if you lookout for yourself I think it's not that bad. There are more dangerous places the worst place at night time is Blaha metro station and the 8.distict. I was there once alone at night time (I was going home after a party) and there were real scary people and I was really scared but nothing happened. But I think you always have to be careful while you out at night. So be careful girls and everything will be OK.

About me
✨️I'm a soon-to-be 23 years old girl who gave up on waiting for company to travel. Now I'm down for a solo adventure any time ( as long as my purse lets me). 📜I study history at uni, so naturally I'm interested in cultures and people all around the world. 🖌My hobbies mostly circle round arts, like painting, writing, photography, reading, dance or singing. 🧿I'm sort of a spiritual person, but I love all the different religions of the world. You're safe with me, if you're a woman (trans women included🫂), member of lgbt, religious, atheist, disabled or struggle with mental illness.💙 🎊Let's build a better world together by sharing our space and experiences!

About me
I'm an idealist and can get interested in almost anything. I spent 6 summers working in American summer camps, so the US is kind of a second home for me. I'm a bookworm, I always have (at least) a book with me, and I also love swimming and hiking. My new passion is Formula 1 and cars in general apparently. I'd like to try as much things as possible, because we have just one life and we should live according to that. If we miss a chance to do something, it might never come back, and we will regret it for a life. When I was like 8 or 9, I had the chance to try a hang-glider (I'm not sure this is the right word, but the dictionary says it is), but I was to scared. That's one of my biggest regrets, so now I try out everything even if it's scary or even if I don't feel like trying it at that moment. (UPDATE: I went to ride a hang-glider last year, so it is no longer a regret as I learnt from the experience. :) )
