Is Budapest safe for single travelers, especially a woman?
Budapest has a reputation of being one of the safest cities in Europe. We have known many woman Fulbright Scholars who have lived here and have had no qualms about walking around the city at any hour of the day or night. The major precaution for anyone is to be careful of pickpockets, especially on crowded trams or buses. This is the same advice you will receive in any city almost anywhere in the world.
