Is Budapest Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I 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.

Group travel

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.

Solo travel

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!

- 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.

I 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.

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.

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 ♥️

Budapest is a safe city. As a woman, I am not afraid of walking in the city after dark. Budapest is small compared to other European capitals. Public transportation is also safe. Based on my experience, catcalling can happen but nothing more dangerous.

The safety in central Budapest is excellent and the less central locations are also typically safe. On busy public transport it is important to watch your belongings. Do not engage with beggars - although they are typically not violent, it's best to stay safe. Public transport is very safe for women, and there is always public transport at night.
