Safety in Hungary

Hungary is a highly civilised country with relatively low levels of crime. Be careful about pickpockets, as in any major city, and negotiate fares in taxis before setting out, especially from the airports.

Safety in Budapest

Pickpockets are most active in public transport vehicles in the metro escalators in shops in the tourist places (Matthias Church, Fisherman’s Bastion, Parliament, the Danube promenade, Vaci Street , the zoo).

Summary of areas at night in Budapest: The center of Budapest (Castle District, districts V and VI) is quite safe at night. Avoid outside of district VII, VIII and IX. As a general rule, avoid poorly lit streets and subways.
