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!

Best time ever, such a fun nightlife with amazing people you meet in the hostel ! I recommend Hostel 1 a great party hostel ( stay on a Saturday for the boat party !!) Good thrifting and food and amazing views.

The Parks shall not be missed. They are beautiful. Just walking through the streets was so fullfilling. Food had normal europe prices, so still quite expensive. We were two girls and felt safe. The city was very big and we had a lot to explore. I really fell in love with the city. The political state is not really good locals agreed. It felt like a lot of young people live there and it seems great for students.

I mostly travel in the center of Pécs and it's totally safe maybe some homeless people. If you want to be in the right place during night don't go near the pubs and be on the main street. But most streets are literally dead silent at night so you don't have to worry.

In 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.

Budapest 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.

Though faced a little racism sometimes but people are quite good. And honestly,there is nothing unsafe but sometimes at night,should be carefull about drunk people as well. It's safe quite equally as the other European country
