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 went with a group of friends but I personally felt very safe there, even late at night in the streets. The city is very beautiful with plenty of places to visit, whether it be the basiliaca, market, thrift shops or cafes- I was not disappointed nor bored at all in my 5 day stay. I would definitely come back for a solo trip!

I 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.
Posted: April 18, 2026Budapest is one the safest cities, especially for solo travelers. Of course, you need to be cautious everywhere but at least you shouldn’t be so stressed about pickpocketing here. Just be careful at night in party areas and don’t go deep to 8 th district.

✨️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
🫶🏼 Hello girls! I am very happy to be here! I think it's great that social media can be used for things like this! I really like to meet new people and develop deep, true friendships... For me, friendship is not just a word, it is not insignificant. I am looking for friends who can identify with my values. I'm the girl with whom you can behave childishly, laugh out loud, and at the same time the one who likes deep conversations. For me, friendship means that I can show my love in all forms! I am the person who is more excited for her best friend's birthday than her own... the person who is proud of her friends and isn't afraid to show it… For me, there is no place for envy or jealousy in true friendships… I am the friend who applauds the loudest for her friend's success, even if I still have to wait for my own… I'm the girl who will go to the end of the world for you if you need her… I love to travel, I love meeting new people and cultural tours! I'm not afraid to try new things, whether it's a cooking class, an extreme trip or even a strange flavored ice cream... it doesn't matter! I'm looking for my people, and if you're here reading this and you feel like you want the same things... let's get to know each other! I hope to see you soon! XOXO, Loretta ♥️

Hey! I’m Anasztázia, but you can call me Ani. I’m 19 years old and currently living in Budapest, where I study political science at university. I’m a curious and energetic person who loves diving deep into the world’s complexities, having long conversations about anything—from philosophy and history to my latest music discovery. Books, art, and traveling are essential parts of my life, just like the vibrant city life. I love exploring new places, going to concerts and festivals with my friends, or simply wandering the streets of Budapest with a good coffee in hand. If you’re up for a spontaneous adventure, a deep conversation, or just a coffee break, count me in!💗

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. :) )
