Budapest was such a cool city to explore! 😁 I felt pretty safe walking around, even at night. The food was surprisingly good—definitely try the local stuff, like goulash. 🤤 It’s not the cheapest place, but still manageable if you plan a bit. The views from Fisherman’s Bastion and the vibe at the ruin bars were totally worth it! 💯

I felt safe overall but it does feel sketchy at night depending on what district you’re in. Apartment district 10 is really sketchy in the evenings, but we were in district 6. I didn’t really see many women walking around at night alone, but I did see some. Mostly with dogs. I would be cautious but definitely on the safer side if you’re in a tourist district.

Overall the travel around the city was very easy. Travelled there with my fiancee and we felt very safe in Budapest even at late hours. The food was delicious especially the meat products. And the buda part of the city was like a fairytale

I spent five days in Budapest with my friends. We felt very safe, even at night. There are many different options when it comes to food. In our experience, the typical cuisine is very meat-heavy, but as I said, you can also find alternatives. There's a lot to do (historical, cultural, and party-oriented).There are trams and buses that are great for getting around. However, we discovered the scooters that are everywhere. They're very easy to use, and you can get anywhere.

Overall a safe place for girls as well, the public transport is really good, but there are some areas which you should avoid during night pl: pillangó street. The public transport has night buses so you can get home safely 24/7.
