A super great experience ! I spent 3 days here with my best friend and we didn't have any problem. The city is beautiful and there are many things to do. People we met were funny and cool. Even at night we feeled safe.

Budapest, Solo travel
My last trip was to Budapest, Hungary, a self-gify for my birthday and I went solo (as usual). Be aware to plan your visits since there's plenty of things to see, BUT only in your mind! Buy tickets when you are on site (apart from the Parliament, book that in advance and PRINT the ticket!), because with the Budapest Card a lot of attractions, restaurants and experiences are free or discounted! Public transport included (100% for free). Speaking of which, it was VERY easy to use and well connected, either Google Maps or the app BudapestGo make moving around town a piece of cake. For the money,...

Budapest is a beautiful city, very safe if you are in a group of girls, alone I don't know. It's a fun city that always offers something different and culturally spectacular. I've met new people who have given me lots of advice on the right and uncommon places to visit. There are many Italians ready to give you their opinion :)

Budapest
In my experience, Budapest feels very safe. I’ve walked home alone at night many times and never felt uncomfortable or threatened. Of course, like in any city, you might see groups of people who are loud or drunk, which can look intimidating at first but in my experience, they’re usually just hanging out with friends and don’t bother anyone. I’ve personally never had any negative situation.

There are a lot of druggies and aggressive homeless around Népliget. Avoid tram 1 and also be careful around Keleti train station. Some gypsies sell stuff (mostly Vapes) around Deak Ferenc square as well, be careful with them

I've only ever lived in Budapest, so i don't know any better, but apart from a few uncomfortable experiences with weird people - which could happen anywhere in the world I think - I've not felt like I was in danger.
