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 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.

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!
