Budapest is such a beautiful city! I loved the food, especially Goulash. The Buda side is hilly which gives you an amazing panoramic view of the city. The Pest is flat and amazing to walk around. The food is just amazing and I loved their chimney cakes too

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

Is Hungary safe for women?
Budapest
i would say it’s quite safe around Budapest. but for sure it’s better safe than sorry, especially during night time. watch out, don’t walk around alone or wait in one place for long. avoid the big bus/tram stations alone. and watch out for your drink if you are in a club/pub. do the usual safety stuff, and everything will be fine.

It is a small town with very little crime. Women can feel safe alone also. No need for safety measures other than common sense. At night, the sane safety measures are true and for every other town. Common sense. 🙂

Very safe in the touristy areas (a lot of people are here and everyone ist strolling around) but it feels a little unsafe in the area of the maverick athaneum hostel and everywhere around there (VII. part) at night
Posted: September 2, 2026Budapest
In the past years due to poverty and new cheap street drugs the streets have became quite unsafe, especially around train stations like Kelenföld, Keleti, Nyugati etc., and in general on the Pest side. Overall it’s okay but there is not enough police on the streets. Even if there’s some they don’t mean safety, rather the opposite but oh well.

Overall Budapest is safe but there are districts that you should avoid like Jozsefvaros (8.) especially at night. Daylight around tourist attractions it’s super safer but always be careful because you never know.
