How safe is Pécs?
It is totally safe! It is fine for me walking home alone at 3am, and also the city is really tiny, quiet and peaceful. The only thing I may worry about is the homeless (sometimes they can be emotional and noisy), but there aren't that many of them and they don't pose a danger.
Posted: January 1, 2025I would say I'm a pretty paranoid person. I feel really comfortable walking around the city. Of course there's some suspicious people, but if you mind your business then people don't even talk to you.

Pécs is a beautiful mediterranian vibe city, mostly not that exciting, but in the summer months it has a good vibe and the center is very walkable. Cute coffee shops are waiting to be explored and we have Mecsek where you can take forest tours.
Posted: December 19, 2024Pécs is a very calm and sage city to live in ! As a woman I always feel very comfortable and sage walking in the street , I've never experienced sexual harassment or anything bad here day or night, I always feel safe.

Pécs is very fine, it’s a rather small city and i’d call it calm overall. The center is very fine, there are some suburban areas wherw I wouldn’t walk at night, but yeah, as girls, we always gotta be careful
