Is Hungary safe for solo female travelers?

Hungary is generally safe and welcoming for solo female travelers. The majority of Hungarians are respectful towards women and the crime rate against tourists is pretty low. However, like with any other destination, typical travel precautions should be taken. This includes avoiding empty streets late at night, not accepting invitations from strangers, and keeping an eye on personal belongings, particularly in crowded areas like markets or public transport.

Budapest, Couple travel

The Parks shall not be missed. They are beautiful. Just walking through the streets was so fullfilling. Food had normal europe prices, so still quite expensive. We were two girls and felt safe. The city was very big and we had a lot to explore. I really fell in love with the city. The political state is not really good locals agreed. It felt like a lot of young people live there and it seems great for students.

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.

Though faced a little racism sometimes but people are quite good. And honestly,there is nothing unsafe but sometimes at night,should be carefull about drunk people as well. It's safe quite equally as the other European country

There are some homeless and drug addicts here. During the day it's fine but it's best to be careful at night. The best way to stay safe is to not talk to anyone and just quickly leave through taxi or tram

The city is generally quite safe, although some less touristy areas are a bit unsettling. I felt less reassured after dark, especially in poorly lit areas (solo trip). Warning we can meet pickpocket in the city.
