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!

Best time ever, such a fun nightlife with amazing people you meet in the hostel ! I recommend Hostel 1 a great party hostel ( stay on a Saturday for the boat party !!) Good thrifting and food and amazing views.

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.

Pretty safe but watch out in the 8th discrit it can be unsafe. But pretty rare tbh i never had anything wrong and im already 20 years old so you gon be fine i promise. Also my fav part is BUDA its super safe and rich in nature
Posted: March 31, 2026Budapest is a really safe place especially in during the day at night also but there is few places for example it is not reccomended to go to Népszínház street at night and also the 8 district alone and if you can afford it, it's better to take a taxi at night

About me
✨️I'm a soon-to-be 23 years old girl who gave up on waiting for company to travel. Now I'm down for a solo adventure any time ( as long as my purse lets me). 📜I study history at uni, so naturally I'm interested in cultures and people all around the world. 🖌My hobbies mostly circle round arts, like painting, writing, photography, reading, dance or singing. 🧿I'm sort of a spiritual person, but I love all the different religions of the world. You're safe with me, if you're a woman (trans women included🫂), member of lgbt, religious, atheist, disabled or struggle with mental illness.💙 🎊Let's build a better world together by sharing our space and experiences!

About me
No time to fake friends!! 🫶🏼 Hello girls! I am very happy to be here! I think it's great that social media can be used for things like this! I really like to meet new people and develop deep, true friendships... For me, friendship is not just a word, it is not insignificant. I am looking for friends who can identify with my values. I'm the girl with whom you can behave childishly, laugh out loud, and at the same time the one who likes deep conversations. For me, friendship means that I can show my love in all forms! I am the person who is more excited for her best friend's birthday than her own... the person who is proud of her friends and isn't afraid to show it… For me, there is no place for envy or jealousy in true friendships… I am the friend who applauds the loudest for her friend's success, even if I still have to wait for my own… I'm the girl who will go to the end of the world for you if you need her… I love to travel, I love meeting new people and cultural tours! I'm not afraid to try new things, whether it's a cooking class, an extreme trip or even a strange flavored ice cream... it doesn't matter! I'm looking for my people, and if you're here reading this and you feel like you want the same things... let's get to know each other! I hope to see you soon! XOXO, Loretta ♥️
