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.

Safest place i've ever been in Hungary (Hungary is overall very safe.) Having a random walk alone like 2 in the morning wouldn't pose a problem. People are kind, openminded. During a week the city is full of uni students from all different countries, never had any conflicts with the either.

Lived here for 7 months already, never been disturbed by anyone at any point, at night there’s not much of a light, therefore some places look super dark and creepy, but nothing ever happened Places that I marked as unsafe, those are during the night as there are some drunken people walking around, just to point that out

in the city center there may be sone shady looking people and some may bother you verbally but it is not so common. there are some areas which are not the safest but those are mainly outside of the city center where big block houses are. there is a hill Mecsek and that area is safe almost all of the time. i live around there and i could walk there even in the night unbothered.
