Budapest is such a beautiful, safe, with nice people. I highly recommend you to visit Budapest. Sights to see on the Buda side: National Gallery, Fisherman's Bastion, Matyas Church, Buda Castle. Sights to see on the Pest side: Vaci Street, Hungarian Parliament, Chocolate Museum, Miniversum, the statues along the Danube. I visited in January and the weather was fine.
Posted: April 8, 2024Budapest is a stunning European city with affordable prices despite its beauty. As a solo female traveler, I didn't get bored and felt safe. I divided my time, spending one day in Buda and one day in Pest, then explored Margaret Island on the third day. In short, I recommend staying for a minimum of three days in this city.
Posted: March 19, 2024I went to budapest on new year’s 2023 (actually saw the fireworks in the plane it was beautiful). I think budapest is beautiful and if you enjoy sightseeing/history there’s so much of that. Also ofcourse the party scene is very famous there and the thermal baths. I personally felt very safe there but not so much in the metro. I was always rushing when i was in the metro there because i saw so many sketchy people all parts of the day. I stayed at a hostel there and it was a really great one :) Would absolutely visit again
Posted: February 21, 2024Very safe even at night. Locals are very friendly and shared us good places to eat! Not cheap but not expensive either, good idea to budget appropriately. Trams and subway system is brill. Worth booking a transfer or sharing a taxi from the airport, once we were on it was fine but it wasn’t easy to find.
Posted: February 15, 2024Budapest is such a beautiful city. I visited the most beautiful cafe in the world, the beautiful Parliament, the largest baths in Europe, and a bridge that connects Buda and Pest. I loved the city and felt very safe.

Very safe, day and night. I recommend the cruise on the Danube River, the hot air balloon, and the Fisherman's Bastion. The metro is very easy to use; I just used the Budapest Go app and bought the tickets through the app.
Posted: January 9, 2024Experienced: September, 2023I loved my stay in Budapest, I felt constantly safe and the atmosphere was amazing. Budapest was extremely budget friendly, and we stayed in a stunning Airbnb. I would highly recommend Szimpla Kert. I know it’s a classic but it was one of a kind. Budapest was one of my all time favourites and I would go back in a heart beat.

Budapest is one of the best places to visit as a student! Beautiful and very picturesque, with many historic monuments and beautiful castles to enjoy for free. Very cheap as well, with great accommodation options. I went with my girlfriend and felt very safe both in Buda and Pest, you can roam the streets at any time and not worry about weird people stalking you. Perfect!
Posted: November 23, 2023Experienced: September, 2023I traveled alone to Budapest in March of this year and I enjoyed it very much. I was always going everywhere, to divert my thoughts from the fact that I was there alone. I felt so safe there that I never felt in danger, even when returning to the hotel at 11 pm.
Posted: October 13, 2023I've been there many times and I love Budapest. It's really safe and not too crowded, and there are many things to see and do. What I saw/did: The Museum of Light Art, Gellért Thermal Baths, Hungarian Parliament, a Harry Potter-style restaurant called The Magic, Zoo Cafe, a cat cafe, Heroes' Square, Buda Royal Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, ZOO, Shoes on the Danube, Cookie Beacon for brunch, Chain Bridge and Margaret Bridge.

Generally speaking, I think Budapest is one of the safest cities during the day. At night, city centre is also very safe, after long night outs, I always walk home alone and feel completely fine. I don’t have problem with night buses neither, I did not experience any form of harassment while travelling on them at night. However, there are certain parts of the city I would avoid in the dark as a female, and also some tramlines, like line 1, that is not very safe for anyone to take.

Budapest is quite safe when its comparing to other countries. There are many homeless and not physically healthy people but mostly harmless. İts really annoying when beggars asking money from you, but you can get rid of it easily.

There were not many places to visit. Transportation was very easy. The food was not interesting. Everyone was very friendly. But it was more expensive than I expected. The number of indigenous people was very small

Including the hostel where we stayed in Budapest, we lived the sparkling streets, which are beautiful day and night. There are a lot of tourists like us and it feels great.It was also very pleasant to meet and chat with many travelers.
