Budapest, Couple travel
I ended up in Budapest by accident while traveling with a friend in a makeshift camper (pseudo-camper). The Hungarian capital is beautiful, but unfortunately very crowded. I was delighted to eat lángos again after 10 years, as I have always been a huge fan of them. The city has very good public transport and many beautiful landmarks on both sides of the Danube. I also came across an interesting student integration tradition: the first-year students were bathing in the fountain! I wasn't there for long, but everyone I interacted with was very kind and open, and I have fond memories of that day

I live this city and its monumental feeling. People are friendly, I felt safe, transport is easy and cheap if you get the 14 day pass. I stayed in the Buda side close to liberty bridge, good food specially with dietary restrictions. Get in touch for specific recommendations 🥰

Beautiful place, georgous views, lots to do from museums, shops, boat ride, lots of bars and restaurants, as a tourist there were a few stares but that's normal. Quite expensive for food but its to be expected, overall, amazing place that I'd revisit.

The transportation was pretty good, and I felt mostly safe, even in a taxi. The attractions were great, I also visited some bars, the vibes were excellent. I stayed with a friend, so I can't say anything about hotel prices, but about prices in general, it was all very cheap.

Budapest, Solo travel
It was my first solo trip, and even i was a bit exceptical about how good it was going to be, last day i cried and i was wondering if all solo trip could be as good as that first one. I choose this city as my first solo trip because it was europe, it whats a short trip and the people i knew that have already been there told me it was safe and easy to move without knowing the native language. And that was it, everyone knew english and it was so easy enjoing the city by myself. 100% recomended to start traveling solo.

Sopron
Sopron is a really safe town. You can travel even solo, however in the evenings most of the shops might be closed besides some restaurants and cafes. There is a university, some schools, so that there is no so many students. Most of people are elderly and very kind people.

The city is mostly quiet. Crimes do happen occasionally, but their number is so low that people can talk about a single incident for months or even years. Even in the countryside or not far from the capital, it’s already very quiet and green. And I’m in love with it

Living in Budapest is very safe. The public transportation is good and you can always ask for help from the drivers. You can safely walk in the city after dark. There is only a few places where you should not walk alone, but there is such place everywhere.

Szeged is a safe city, and it may seem small to those coming from big cities far away, but I really like it. It's pretty and safe, much more so than Budapest or Miskolc and its surroundings. It's definitely worth a visit.
