Is there a lot of crime in Budapest?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Budapest is generally considered to be a safe city, with crime levels lower than many other European cities. However, there have been reports of pickpocketing and other petty crimes in some areas, particularly in crowded tourist spots. It is advisable to take the usual precautions when travelling in Budapest, such as avoiding carrying large amounts of cash and being aware of your surroundings," remarked another expat in Budapest, Hungary.

"Like any capital cities crime is a definite issue. Two years ago I got pickpocketed on the bus. It was Romanian gypsies. There are also lot of homeless who appeared to be able to camp out pretty much everywhere (except maybe at the Parliament building, LOL!) Mainly at metro and railroad stations. There are the occasional car thefts but having said that things are fairly save," said a member in Budapest, Hungary.
