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 connected, either Google Maps or the app BudapestGo make moving around town a piece of cake. For the money,...

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 :)

I think Budapest is a far the safest country in Europe. I travel a lot alone in Budapest because of the university and wok. I also feel safe travel alone at night but I always watch my back. I had never had a bad experience with the night/day public transport or just walking in general.
Posted: January 30, 2026In my opinion Budapest is one of the safest city in Europe. The most common crime is theft, but only if you go in those areas of the city. That doesn't mean that you can leave your stuff alone but you don't have to be stressed at keeping your stuff at a safe place. In daytime the city is safe, but when the sun sets I recommend avoiding the 8th district (starting from Blaha Lujza tér and népszínház utca).

Buda and Pest are a little bit different. Buda is much more safer than Pest. Avoid VIII district day and night :) I live in Buda with parks and very good atmosphere with families and outdoor activities.
