Couple travel

I ended up in Budapest by accident while traveling with a friend in a makeshift camper (pseudo-camper). The Hungarian capital is beautiful, but unfortunately very crowded. I was delighted to eat lángos again after 10 years, as I have always been a huge fan of them. The city has very good public transport and many beautiful landmarks on both sides of the Danube. I also came across an interesting student integration tradition: the first-year students were bathing in the fountain! I wasn't there for long, but everyone I interacted with was very kind and open, and I have fond memories of that day

Solo travel

I live this city and its monumental feeling. People are friendly, I felt safe, transport is easy and cheap if you get the 14 day pass. I stayed in the Buda side close to liberty bridge, good food specially with dietary restrictions. Get in touch for specific recommendations 🥰

Solo travel

Beautiful place, georgous views, lots to do from museums, shops, boat ride, lots of bars and restaurants, as a tourist there were a few stares but that's normal. Quite expensive for food but its to be expected, overall, amazing place that I'd revisit.

Group travel

The transportation was pretty good, and I felt mostly safe, even in a taxi. The attractions were great, I also visited some bars, the vibes were excellent. I stayed with a friend, so I can't say anything about hotel prices, but about prices in general, it was all very cheap.

Solo travel

It was my first solo trip, and even i was a bit exceptical about how good it was going to be, last day i cried and i was wondering if all solo trip could be as good as that first one. I choose this city as my first solo trip because it was europe, it whats a short trip and the people i knew that have already been there told me it was safe and easy to move without knowing the native language. And that was it, everyone knew english and it was so easy enjoing the city by myself. 100% recomended to start traveling solo.

Living in Budapest is very safe. The public transportation is good and you can always ask for help from the drivers. You can safely walk in the city after dark. There is only a few places where you should not walk alone, but there is such place everywhere.

In the daytime, it is very safe. In the night time, I personally never had any problems, but you might run into some annoying/scary drunk people. Avoid Keleti pályaudvar and the 8th district in general at night. Always keep an eye on your drink if you go out!

Budapest is mostly safe. There are a few parts of the city that i wouldn't recommend visiting especially at night time, like hős utca or népliget. But most of the city is safe at night too. There might be some pickpocketers on crowded public transportation vehicles but it's not so typical i think. But just for the sake of safety, don't lend your phone to random people, cuz they might run away with it... happened to me in Népliget.

I visited a lots of times and didn't have a very negative experience yet. People can be rude but that happens everywhere, homelessness is a problem and there can be scary situations regarding that (begging for money, or following you). There are few places I would rate more dangerous in the city center (VIII. zone).

Aside from the people living on the streets (which is typical of any large cities), I feel pretty safe in Budapest. I don’t necessarily worry about staying out too late or having to walk all alone. I used to live alone before and didn’t worry about my flat being broken into. Of course, I still do the necessary precautions, but I don’t have to overthink it.
