Is Budapest Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Well, 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.

Family travel

Very cute city. It has also very good weather in Summer. There some many things to do there. People are nice, and transport was very good as well. I would alway recomendaciones to go to the balnearies.

Group travel

Budapest is very beautiful city with lot of history. We loved the architecture and art. I recommend national gallery. We stayed at Airbnb. I recommend booking very early. Also be aware of your belongings :)

Solo travel

Budapest is a beautiful city by the Danube river, with buda the old historical, more residential vibe and pest the modern, student, vibrant atmosphere. It is such a cozy city where everything is in walking distance, so just going around on your foot you can see Cathedrals, the Parliament or do a small hike in Buda to see the whole city. I did feel safe walking at night. This city will always have a special place in my heart ♥️

Couple travel

We visited Budapest together for the second time. We explored the Bastion and other landmarks. We also spent a whole day walking in the park, where we took a hot air balloon ride, admired the sights, and visited the House of Music. Our favorite place is Elizabeth Square.

Solo travel

Budapest is not the usual tourist destination, but it should be. It is a beautiful city that is friendly to tourists and relatively easy to get around. Give yourself a few days to explore and fall in love with the food and the charms of this Eastern European Gem.

Solo travel

I’ve been many times to Budapest, both solo and with others. Like most places in Hungary, I feel incredibly safe in their capital city. Transit is easy to navigate and inexpensive. Remember, Hungary does not use the euro. This can be good because typically things are cheap compared to other European countries but you do have to remember to exchange money.

Solo travel

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!

Family travel

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.

Solo travel

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

I think Budapest is a very safe city, even at night. In the city center the streets are full at night in the summer, so you dont have to be scared. However there are some parts that you should avoid, so I would recommend to trust your guts and if a district doesn’t feel safe turn back.

i would not describe budapest as dangerous, although catcalling does happen and creepy men do make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe from time to time. i’d say it’s totally fine for a woman to visit budapest alone, but i would recommend avoiding the 8th district, the train stations and the less crowded areas at night.
