Yes I feel really safe in Budapest. Beautiful architecture, good food, and relatively inexpensive compared to other countries in Europe. Id definitely recommend going here, there's so much stuff to see and do, maybe better 3 days to soak it all in!

This was my first time traveling to Budapest. The city was very beautiful but a bit dirty. People were kind but the food in the city centre was a bit expensive. We paid 95€ for 3 pizzas and a salad (plus 4 beers). So I recommend eating a little more far from the city centre. We visited the Zoo, The Parliament, Citadella, Van Gogh's expedition, and it was amazing. Just pick a colder weather as it can get too hot there. Public transport was easy to use and understand. People can speak English well in restaurants, shops, public places, etc. There are few homeless people that may try to talk to you. I didn't walk alone in the evening but I didn't notice anything dangerous.

I feel safe There is a magnificent opera and ballet building. I watched Swan Lake ballet there. I went to the cinema. The nightlife is quite colorful and I liked it. I wasn't very pleased with the food. It wasn't bad but there wasn't much I liked. I found it a bit oily in general. Prices were average. I didn't find it too much. Public transport was very useful
Posted: August 13, 2024Experienced: February, 2023Beautiful capital. It was my second travel to Budapest I gathered you some not-so-known places to enjoy: Food: -Getto gulyas- great national cousine -Bors- nice variety of street food: soups and sandwiches -wasabi- cheap running sushi Places to chill: -Margaret island -köztér- ruin pub 2 tips: -If you go clubbing there is a really nice gay bar: alterego which is much safer than other clubs - If you choose public transport, buy an "orszagberlet" it is very cheap and you can travel for anything including boats

Balatonfured was a good experience! It has a relaxed atmosphere, with mainly Hungarian local tourists it is off the main tourist path. It has plenty to do, with the promenade giving lovely views of the lake, aquarium, playgrounds, parks, shops, modern art gallery, museum and tourist train. There is also a beach for swimming, boats and plenty of restaurants and bars. There is also a ferry you can take across to the other side of the lake.

It's a beautiful place with many spots worth visiting. The transportation is really good. The food is quite diverse, but if you're going for something typical, be prepared for a soup starter. People are generally very calm and quiet.

I felt more safe than I thought I would. Of course nights alone are scary, but except of some catcalling, there were no other situations. Would recommend using the app meet up to meet some people! Especially the language exchange us very nice
Posted: July 24, 2024Felt safe walking around and talking the metro during the day and evening. Walked 30 mins to my hotel in the city center after landing at 1am and it was a bit sketchy - a few sections of homeless people but I was not acknowledged. 24/7 airport bus shuttle is clutch. Skip the thermal baths if you’re looking for authentic experiences - I did Gellert and it was filled with tourists. Walking around and looking at the architecture is amazing! Go to an étkezde!!! Or 2! Delicious home cooked food vibe and the servers and owners were all very friendly to me and happy to explain Hungarian food. You can spend <$5 on a meal here.

I travelled with friends. The city and its sights are well worth seeing. And if you want to party, it's all planned with its ruined bars. As far as the budget is concerned, accommodation is not too expensive, but everything else is on a par with another European city.
Posted: July 24, 2024Budapest felt quite safe while travelling, an underrated city stop. However, there isn’t particularly much to do so would recommend only a short stop there unless there is a specific event on as a solo traveller.

Budapest during the day if very safe,(at least that's how experienced it), during night be a bit more aware on public transportation(especially tram 4-6 and such) because there can be some interesting people, whom I would avoid. But if you are in a group you will be more than fine. Also look out for pick pockets, especially on tram 4-6. District I would avoid:8th
Posted: October 9, 2024It is hard question to answer. I would probably say that in Europe it is one of the most safety cities. But i would probably recommend no one to be alone at night, there can be very guilty and scary people on the street. You have to have spray in your bag or be with at least with another person.
