Budapest, Hungary
Terézváros has cultural attractions and good restaurants, but the safety varies by street. Stick to main boulevards like Andrássy Avenue for the best experience, especially after dark. The area can feel upscale but also somewhat impersonal.
Terézváros has some nice cultural spots and good restaurants, but the safety really depends on which street you're on. Andrássy Avenue itself is beautiful and feels safe with good lighting and regular foot traffic, especially near the Opera House. But once you get off the main boulevards, some of the side streets can feel a bit sketchy after dark - not dangerous exactly, but you might encounter drunk locals or areas that feel less welcoming. The area has a mix of upscale and gritty spots all close together. During the day it's fine for exploring, and there are some great wine bars and restaurants where solo dining is comfortable. Just stick to the main streets at night and you'll be fine. The metro connections are good, though Oktogon station can attract some characters late at night.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Downtown is convenient for getting around Budapest and has plenty of dining options. The busy atmosphere provides natural security, though you'll need to watch your belongings on Váci Street and other crowded areas. It's practical for first-time visitors.
Újlipótváros has good local cafés and a residential vibe that feels more authentic than tourist areas. It's safe and increasingly popular with young locals, though it can feel quiet if you're looking for nightlife or major attractions. Good for longer stays.
The City Park area is safe and has some of Budapest's main attractions. It's good for a day of sightseeing and thermal baths, though the area can feel quiet and residential. The Széchenyi Baths are definitely worth visiting.
