Budapest is the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen. There is so much to see. The people are very frendly. You have to try the food there, it’s so delicious. It’s very important that you see Budapest at night. The whole city is shining.

It's a place safe but the vibe of the city is strange and the fine for don't have the ticket train is expensive so better get one before you get on. Also the disco there are so good because all the discos have diferent floors with different music.

We come to Budapest every year to visit family ☀️☀️☀️ This city is wonderful, there are many activities to partake in and museums to visit 🖼 The cultural history is very present as well, especially during the "mesterségek ünnepe", where you can witness handcrafted exhibitions of Hungary’s identity 💗 I absolutely adore the architecture that is fun, colourful and elegant 🍒 Although vegan 🌱 and vegetarian food aren’t really staples in Hungarian cuisine, Budapest is a place where you can be...

Very pretty city. Even tho i was there with my bf i would feel safe also alone. Strudels are really delicious here 😋. Everything is near and night life is living indeed but finding free restaurant for dinner is a challenge😵💫

I really enjoyed this trip to Hungary it was very nice. I was with my family. We stayed in different places in Hungary for 4 nights and 5 days. It was very spontaneous, the only things we had booked were accommodations and a cruise

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 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!

In the daylight you can go anywhere in safety. But after 10pm I don't recommend going out alone. The most unsafe place is the train station, but mostly at night. I didn't had any incident with anyone

You can walk by yourself, the worst thing that could happen that a drunk young group will say how beautiful you are😅 You don’t need to extra protect your belongings, but if you leave them somewhere it might diaappear in 10 mins

I went to bars and parties a lot in Budapest and as I lived on the buda side, i had to walk a lot at night. I never felt unsafe even in the public transportation no matter what I was wearing :).

Usually it is safe, there are a few places where you can find weird and scary people, but most of the places are good. public transportation is also very safe, use BudapestGo it helps at day and night which bus takes you quicker to home.

Blaha is bit dangerous as it’s filled with homeless people. Be careful around there. Overall Budapest is very safe place. Small villages are also safe and beautiful. I have been living here for one year I didn’t have any problems yet, related to the safety
