I went to Budapest with a group of friends for an Erasmus+, and we loved it. The hostel was around the centre and it was very inexpensive and very cute. The food was good, I loved the soups from Hungary and the sweets. Overall, a beautiful experience since the own city is also very pretty. Would love to repeat this trip.
Posted: June 18, 2025Experienced: August, 2023Budapest was such a cool city to explore! 😁 I felt pretty safe walking around, even at night. The food was surprisingly good—definitely try the local stuff, like goulash. 🤤 It’s not the cheapest place, but still manageable if you plan a bit. The views from Fisherman’s Bastion and the vibe at the ruin bars were totally worth it! 💯

I felt safe overall but it does feel sketchy at night depending on what district you’re in. Apartment district 10 is really sketchy in the evenings, but we were in district 6. I didn’t really see many women walking around at night alone, but I did see some. Mostly with dogs. I would be cautious but definitely on the safer side if you’re in a tourist district.

Overall the travel around the city was very easy. Travelled there with my fiancee and we felt very safe in Budapest even at late hours. The food was delicious especially the meat products. And the buda part of the city was like a fairytale

Pretty safe compares to other cities in Europe, you can walk alone in the night as a woman I did many time. And also I’ve never got robbed or know anyone that lives here and got robbed, public transport could be a bit dangerous on weekends because of drunk people
Posted: June 15, 2025Its safe during the day for the ladies too. Just there are some special areas, where you need to watch yourself. These are: Blaha Lujza tér, Kelenföld railway station, Keleti and Déli railway station, Hős and Király street, Deák Ferenc square, 8 th discrict, 4-6 yellow trams, metroline 1 and 2, Széll Kálmán square,
