Loved Budapest. Great food, beautiful architecture, would wander the streets until I was too cold and go into the nearest bath to warm up. Affordable, easy public transit. Felt safe everywhere I went.

I felt very safe in Budapest, even when walking at night. I recommend visiting Fisherman’s Bastion, Széchenyi Baths, and taking a Danube river cruise. Skip overpriced tourist restaurants in Váci Street. Try local food at the Great Market Hall or eat goulash at a traditional Hungarian bistro. I stayed in District VII (Jewish Quarter), which was lively and close to everything. My budget was around €50–€70 per day, including meals, transport, and attractions. Public transport is easy and reliable—I used trams and metros with a daily pass. My itinerary included Buda Castle, St. Stephen’s Basilica, ruin bars, and the thermal baths. Overall, it was a beautiful and affordable trip!

I travelled to Budapest with my best friend (he is a man) I felt pretty safe there, because I was not alone but also because of the vibes I get from the people and the cities The food was ok, it is not very diversified, however it's cheap to buy foods even in restaurants The monuments are really pretty, I recommend to do the Parliament, all the religious monuments like churches, and to go up the hill to have a perfect view of all the city (go for the sunset!)
Posted: April 15, 2025I felt very safe in Budapest. It is quite big for partying so it’s important to follow some basic safety rules like not leaving your drink unattended or not getting too drunk but overall I have never ever had any issues and men were never menacing or insistant.

Budapest is a beautiful city with a lot to do. If you go here you will never get bored. I haven’t felt unsafe at night alone at all. The clubs were questionable as there were a lot of creepy men but overall great place

The most beautiful place I have ever been. The city is wonderful. A place where romance meets fun and party. I felt pretty safe but please keep in mind that I traveled with my boyfriend. The accommodation where pretty cheap and in good places. Almost everybody speaks English. If I didnt want to travel the world I would be in Budapest every year. This city amazed me.

Budapest was absolutely safe and lively city. People were very helpful and kind. Transports work till late night with no real delays. I prefer the Buda part of the city which is more historic and in the neo-gothic style. I would recommend to not save money and buy thickets for St. Matthias Church as the interior is so unique and stunning!
Posted: April 10, 2025- I found Budapest to be a very safe city. Even when walking home alone after a night out. - It is also a very easy city to get around in, as puplic transportation is really tourist friendly, buses, metro, trams. - I was traveling on a really low budget so I stayed at the Baroque Hostel where I also worked so I stayed there for free. A very cute place. - Honestly I would recommend just walking around the city without looking at a map because you keep bumping in to these beautiful buildings. - And I recommend the Gellert thermal bath! Especially at sunset time.
Posted: March 20, 2025I stayed in Budapest with a group of friends last summer for the F1 and i highly recommend traveling here. The city is very big and there are a lot of places to visit and a lot of activities to do. Bc there were 4 of us we didn't have any problem woth safety but I don't know how it is if you do solo traveling I heard fron others that it is still vrey safe. The night life is amazing, there are a lot of clubs and bars. And I recommend booking a boat trip bc they are preatty cheap and the experience is very good.
Posted: March 17, 2025Experienced: June, 2024Well, never visit in peak winter time. You won't be able to see anything. It was all foggy. Even the famous tourist attractions were mehh cause the view was blocked by the fog. Plus it's too cold. Always book in advance else it will be very expensive.

I would say Budapest is basically safe, specially when you compare it with other places globally. There are some districts where you need to be more cautious and in areas where are many tourists pickpockets are present. But altogether I believe there's no serious reason to be worried.

It is safe during day the comynication and city itself ,but during night it’s better to stay in the city centre where there’s always more people espevialy when your a lady traveling alone or just take extra care of tourself.
