Very but like any touristy place in Europe there are lots of gypsy pickpockets. I have also seen tourists get scamed there. You just need to be aware at all times when you travel anywhere. Budapest is one of my favorate cities in Europe.

Budapest is usually described whilst the "Little Paris of Middle Europe" and if you want to see this city you'll need to take a look with hotelbye . Budapest is popular not only for the monuments showing a unique 1,000-year-old tradition, but in addition for the relics of others who resolved here. Stays from equally Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks can however be seen in the city. Budapest has two edges, Buda and Pest, stretching along the banks of the Danube, and they're representing two various heroes of the city. Suburban Buda and their historic fortress section offer medieval roads and properties, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The dynamic Pest part provides the greatest parliament creating in Europe, riverside promenades, flea areas, bookstores, old-fashioned stores and café houses.

Of course it is. Budapest is an amazing city filled with so many great things to do. And to be honest I think going to New York City or Philadlephia would be much more dangerous than Budapest. True there are 2 million people in Budapest but everytime I was there I never saw anything dangerous. I think you will have lots of fun there and you will be safe too.

Budapest is a safe place to visit but like any tourist cities, it has some problems with pickpockets. As long as you take some precautions like not have a lot of money with you, keep your money close with you, try to stay in public place, etc. you should be fine. There is a lot of things to see in Budapest and it would be sad to miss it because of pickpockets.

My wife and recently returned from Budapest, about three weeks. We are walkers, walked large stretches of Buda and Pest at all hours of the night and day. Did not have any trouble. Much english is spoken in Buda and also in Pest. It is not uncommon to see hundreds of folks in the streets late at nights, especially around the tram stations, great tram system, cheap, clean effecient.
Buda is of course very safe, expensive relative to Pest and pretty sterile. You are not with the locals much in Buda, tourist side of town. Although, we liked the Pest Buda ( local joke I guess) restaurnat down from the Hyatt, nutty waiters but colorful. Cheaper/more affordable but great food.
In Pest you are going with and living with the Hungarians, this is where they live, play and eat.
safety - stay away from the casino's, themselves are safe but attract night trade and unsavory types around them on the streets. safe....almost surely but not nice. Other than that we walked around late at night in pest and did not see anything untoward, or unsafe except for the occassional bit of prostitution trade, seems this is not terribly frowned upon and in the open a bit. Yes, since drunk driving in highly illegal you can sometimes see men sleeping in their cars late at night, slepping it off so to speak.
Pest - dinner for two, plenty to drink, nice places, maybe $30 USD. Buda - $75-&100 for same with exception of some local joints like the Pest-Buda restaurant.
You can safely walk around Pest, find a good locl place off the main drags, and enjoy a great dinner etc. The club scene is well known, look over the tourist books.
Engflish is quite common in Pest as is German. Most, but not all, places have english menus, and try to attract english speaking folks.
Hope you and your friends enjoy both Buda and pest as much as we did. Must, must try the public swimming poools, unbelievablly nice and elaborate pools with Spas, many pools inside for the cooler waether and the two large museums. Again, we walked at all times of night, across this great city, and never had a problem nor felt afraid.
