For female solo travellers, Budapest is also a good option. Women travelling by themselves can feel safe. Budapest is pretty walkable and safe even at night, especially in the touristic zones.
Stick to well-lit, central streets after dark, and keep your bag zipped in crowded places such as trams, markets and busy bars. In nightlife areas, keep an eye on your drink.
For late rides, use Bolt, Uber or an official taxi instead of hailing a car on the street.
If you would like company, a small-group walking tour or a hostel common room is an easy way to meet people. Good starting points are our Street Art Tour and the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Budapest tour.
Looking for an easy evening activity? Read is a Danube night cruise worth it.
