in the city center there may be sone shady looking people and some may bother you verbally but it is not so common. there are some areas which are not the safest but those are mainly outside of the city center where big block houses are. there is a hill Mecsek and that area is safe almost all of the time. i live around there and i could walk there even in the night unbothered.

pretty safe!! only students who drink too much sometimes can become aggressive, but that’s still better than in Western Europe or Russia from where i come from. Overall I would rate safety as 8/10 for women

I would say the city centre is pretty safe. You can walk alone at night too without worrying about getting kidnapped/harmed. The suburbs are a different story, I wouldn't advise you to walk alone after the sun goes down. But overall I think the city is not dangerous.

About me

I’m 20 years old, originally from Pakistan, currently living in 🇭🇺Hungary as a student and remote worker. I work in digital marketing and manage law firm campaigns, while also creating alot of video content on the side. I’m more into mountains than malls, scenic routes over city crowds, always. I love hiking, nature getaways, and slow travel that lets you actually breathe in a place. Big fan of slow mornings, deep convos, and finding calm in new corners of the world. Always trying to balance the chaos of life abroad with moments that feel grounding. 🌿✈️
