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.

The best thing in Budapest is the local bath houses. There are so many different spots to go in different parts of the city. I went to Szent Lukacs Baths and it is an amazing place. So many different temperature pools, inside and outside. And a great sauna. It is a must for Budapest for sure.
Posted: September 2, 2025Experienced: March, 2025I was there with my friend for a week and our trip was really great. On the first day we walked trough the city to do some sightseeing and I guess you don’t need a guide for that. Recommendations are fisherman’s bastion, the parliament, castle Vajdahunyad, national art museum and the Vincent hall. You can get there by walking or taking the metro, the tickets are not expensive at all. We also visited the Gellert baths and it was beautiful there. Budapest is also big for its nightlife so we visited some bars and a club but we always felt save. For connecting with young people and locals I recommend going to the harbour there are no actual bars but you can get drinks and sit outside and connect with people. And before I forget it gets really hot in summer so you need to stay hydrated but you can get drinks like everywhere. We loved the selfmade limonades and drank two liters a I guess ;)
Posted: August 24, 2025Very lovely city with great views! The public transport was easy to use, but the city was also very walkable, so you could easily walk to your destination! I would definitely recommend going there!🥰❤️

I haven't had too much bad experience, but ofc there is some city parts and transport vehicles which are not good. The 4-6 Tram, Keleti pu, Hős street is a little bit worrysome. Some homeless people are agressive, and nearby areas of Blaha Lujza tér have drug addicted people. There is a lot of hobos at Nyugati pu. But I know plenty of safe places as well. I only met drunkards and loud people, I was never robbed or touched. Of course there is some man, who follows women for a bit, but personally I never experienced dangerous problems. (Only the HÉV. If you want to travel nearby of Budapest, choose anything but not the HÉV!!!!)
