A super great experience ! I spent 3 days here with my best friend and we didn't have any problem. The city is beautiful and there are many things to do. People we met were funny and cool. Even at night we feeled safe.

My last trip was to Budapest, Hungary, a self-gify for my birthday and I went solo (as usual). Be aware to plan your visits since there's plenty of things to see, BUT only in your mind! Buy tickets when you are on site (apart from the Parliament, book that in advance and PRINT the ticket!), because with the Budapest Card a lot of attractions, restaurants and experiences are free or discounted! Public transport included (100% for free). Speaking of which, it was VERY easy to use and well...

Budapest is a beautiful city, very safe if you are in a group of girls, alone I don't know. It's a fun city that always offers something different and culturally spectacular. I've met new people who have given me lots of advice on the right and uncommon places to visit. There are many Italians ready to give you their opinion :)

It is one of the safest cities to be in. I live here since 9 years i had nights and mornings never experienced anything unpleasent. As well as i never heard anything bad from my hungarian or international friends aswell
Posted: March 13, 2026Budapest is not the worst city by safety level but definitely not the best You have to watch out not just for your belongings and stuff but your safety. There are some areas where you don't want to walk around at all not even during the day. As I said Budapest is not the worst either so you'll find plenty of nice areas where you'll feel safe. :)
Posted: March 1, 2026It’s pretty chill. I don’t really have a night life, but I’ve walked home alone at 3am in Blaha. A lot of people say Blaha and Keleti aren’t the best places to visit, but it’s not that bad in my opinion

About me
✨️I'm a soon-to-be 23 years old girl who gave up on waiting for company to travel. Now I'm down for a solo adventure any time ( as long as my purse lets me). 📜I study history at uni, so naturally I'm interested in cultures and people all around the world. 🖌My hobbies mostly circle round arts, like painting, writing, photography, reading, dance or singing. 🧿I'm sort of a spiritual person, but I love all the different religions of the world. You're safe with me, if you're a woman (trans women included🫂), member of lgbt, religious, atheist, disabled or struggle with mental illness.💙 🎊Let's build a better world together by sharing our space and experiences!

About me
No time to fake friends!! 🫶🏼 Hello girls! I am very happy to be here! I think it's great that social media can be used for things like this! I really like to meet new people and develop deep, true friendships... For me, friendship is not just a word, it is not insignificant. I am looking for friends who can identify with my values. I'm the girl with whom you can behave childishly, laugh out loud, and at the same time the one who likes deep conversations. For me, friendship means that I can show my love in all forms! I am the person who is more excited for her best friend's birthday than her own... the person who is proud of her friends and isn't afraid to show it… For me, there is no place for envy or jealousy in true friendships… I am the friend who applauds the loudest for her friend's success, even if I still have to wait for my own… I'm the girl who will go to the end of the world for you if you need her… I love to travel, I love meeting new people and cultural tours! I'm not afraid to try new things, whether it's a cooking class, an extreme trip or even a strange flavored ice cream... it doesn't matter! I'm looking for my people, and if you're here reading this and you feel like you want the same things... let's get to know each other! I hope to see you soon! XOXO, Loretta ♥️
