Budapest Very safe

Safe city. Two specific scams to know: taxi drivers who quote in euros, and bars where a friendly local invites you in and the bill arrives enormous. Use Bolt and pick your own bar.

Comfortable: District V · Buda Castle · Városliget · District VII

  • Consumption-scam bars, where a stranger invites you and the bill is hundreds of euros
  • Blaha Lujza tér — and District VIII around it, late at night
  • Unlicensed taxis — only Főtaxi and the apps
