Budapest, Family travel
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!

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.

In day time it's totaly safe, in night time Buda is more safer than pest but if you lookout for yourself I think it's not that bad. There are more dangerous places the worst place at night time is Blaha metro station and the 8.distict. I was there once alone at night time (I was going home after a party) and there were real scary people and I was really scared but nothing happened. But I think you always have to be careful while you out at night. So be careful girls and everything will be OK.

Budapest is one the safest cities, especially for solo travelers. Of course, you need to be cautious everywhere but at least you shouldn’t be so stressed about pickpocketing here. Just be careful at night in party areas and don’t go deep to 8 th district.
