Details

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.
