Budapest, Solo travel
I love this city so much! It's stunning and there is so much to do. Also places to stay are relatively cheap. I visited in 2023 and I do have to say prices of especially food have gone up a lot since then, but it's still cheap in comparison to where I'm from (Amsterdam). There's great hiking areas north-west of the city which I highly recommend!

It really is a mesh of western and eastern society. It reminded me of Soviet era countries (in a good way). Amazing architecture and if you find a good place to eat you will be blown away. I recommend getting a guide and taking the metro, it is a landmark in itself!

It was so good. We went to the Buda Castle and saw the dazzling Parlement building. We also experience their thermal pool and it was so relaxing🫠 My trip to Budapest was mostly relax and chill journey. I really enjoy it

I went with a group of friends but I personally felt very safe there, even late at night in the streets. The city is very beautiful with plenty of places to visit, whether it be the basiliaca, market, thrift shops or cafes- I was not disappointed nor bored at all in my 5 day stay. I would definitely come back for a solo trip!

I think it’s pretty safe. Im going back home alone at night a lot. Taking the bus during 1 hour until the last stop and it’s always safe. (Im living in the north of the city so it’s the part that I know more about). But the city center is really safe.

I always feel safe, nothing ever happened with me or with anyone i know there, but always pay attention to your surrounding because you can never be 100% sure and i think that applies for everywhere else in the world

Budapest is overall a very safe and clean city to travel to. 24/7 public transportation is available, including local taxi service like Bolt, so you will always find your way back. The center is very international.

I mostly travel in the center of Pécs and it's totally safe maybe some homeless people. If you want to be in the right place during night don't go near the pubs and be on the main street. But most streets are literally dead silent at night so you don't have to worry.
