Solo travel

Beautiful place, georgous views, lots to do from museums, shops, boat ride, lots of bars and restaurants, as a tourist there were a few stares but that's normal. Quite expensive for food but its to be expected, overall, amazing place that I'd revisit.

Group travel

The transportation was pretty good, and I felt mostly safe, even in a taxi. The attractions were great, I also visited some bars, the vibes were excellent. I stayed with a friend, so I can't say anything about hotel prices, but about prices in general, it was all very cheap.

Solo travel

It was my first solo trip, and even i was a bit exceptical about how good it was going to be, last day i cried and i was wondering if all solo trip could be as good as that first one. I choose this city as my first solo trip because it was europe, it whats a short trip and the people i knew that have already been there told me it was safe and easy to move without knowing the native language. And that was it, everyone knew english and it was so easy enjoing the city by myself. 100% recomended to start traveling solo.

Living in Budapest is very safe. The public transportation is good and you can always ask for help from the drivers. You can safely walk in the city after dark. There is only a few places where you should not walk alone, but there is such place everywhere.

In the daytime, it is very safe. In the night time, I personally never had any problems, but you might run into some annoying/scary drunk people. Avoid Keleti pályaudvar and the 8th district in general at night. Always keep an eye on your drink if you go out!

Budapest is mostly safe. There are a few parts of the city that i wouldn't recommend visiting especially at night time, like hős utca or népliget. But most of the city is safe at night too. There might be some pickpocketers on crowded public transportation vehicles but it's not so typical i think. But just for the sake of safety, don't lend your phone to random people, cuz they might run away with it... happened to me in Népliget.
