Békásmegyer se, de az rá se fért a térképre. Ez lehet, hogy egy átlagos londoni közállapothoz képest lóalkatrész, de azért mégiscsak valami.



Ezt se jelenteném ki. Ránézésre miben különbözik a nyolcker (oké, nem annyira kinnt mint az Orczy tér, hanem a közbenső részek a körút és az Orczy közt), mondjuk a hétkertől! Ugyancsak a kicsit romos, kicsit romantikus, nagyon lerohadt, héhol foltokban felújított eklektikus-későmodern halmaz, miközben lakóit és a terület közbiztonságát tekintve a Rákóczi út egy elég durva határvonal. Szal a turista könnyen áttévedhet.

Ezenkívül semmiképp se hazudjunk a turistáknak! Elég ha egyet elkapnak a cigók és máris azzal van kiplakátolva a nyugati bulvársajtó, hogy Budapest egy horrorfőváros, ahol úgy gyakják a turistákat, mintha csak egy szlovákiában játszódó horrort látnánk és akkor szopóágra kerül a turizmusunk, pedig a város tényleg békés, csak vannak ótvaros részei, amit a turistáknak messzire el kell kerülniük, és ez közérdek.

ne túlozz! budapest egy kifejezetten biztonságos város. nagyon pici józan ésszel szinte minden esetleges veszélyhelyzetet el lehet kerülni.

A pici józan ész, hogy messzire elkerüljük a gettókat.

Honestly, I think most of the forum members living in BP have never seen these places - I know I haven't (not the ones on the photos anyway).

What you need to do is the same as in any city - avoid the fishy places (esp. night clubs), check your back at night, avoid confrontation with gangs, keep your valuables in a safe place + don't show off if not necessary.

Unfortunately you are right...
Even with common sense someone not speaking Hungarian and not looking like a 'local' should avoid this places...

By the way this is the same in London, Barcelona, Sao Paolo, Rio and even in Lausanne as well...

And to be honest, I lived in the VIII district for years, moved around day and night but had no real problem at all...

very usefull all the information.
thank you

I couldnt find proper thread so Id like to get some recomendations here. Im lookin for some nice clean, but not expensive hotel/family hotel in BP for two nights. I have bad experiences with all those hotel bookin reviews (ussually made by hotel managers or owners). Thanks.

What's your price range? Normally I book hotels on Booking.com and hostels on Hostelbookers.com.

[Kvietok]

If Ill go with my girl I would prefer hotel up to 70 E for two bed room per day. If my friends will join us, hotel room wont be that important , so I wont linke to spend more than 40 E per day and hostel might be good enought.

Ahoj Kvietok,

i may recommend you the Anna Hotel in the VIII. district, Gyulai Pál street. I reserved there room for my german guests last week, and a double room coasted 43 €/night, inclusive breakfast.

The quality of the room was very good, and the breakfast was fine too.

The only surprise was for all of us, that the hotel is a jewish hotel, with jewish food, but my friends told it not being disturbing at all.

Kosher food must be of good quality, as they check all ingredients (vegetables, fruits have to be carefully cleaned etc), so normally if the food is kosher, you don't have to worry.

In regards to Blogen's post earlier, I absolutely disagree about the 8th district. Although it is shadier than the rest of Budapest, it is not unsafe to visit as long as your are smart. I am an American living in Budapest and have lived in the heart of the shady part of the 8th district for half a year with absolutely no problems. In fact, I've met some incredibly nice people here. Plus, it's a great contrast to the prim and proper central districts of the city.

Well, I'm actually really into night life and when I can, I travel by taxi... I've had too many troubles with the gipsies, they tried to attack me at Nyugati square, on the 906 bus, at Almássy square, my friends have been robbed too many times... So the best option is the taxi
About VIII. district: my girlfriend lives in József street near Mátyás square and never had problem there at night.

This happens every night on the buses...
