I’ll be arriving in Budapest soon and wanted to go to the boat party this Wednesday (14th). Is it safe to go alone? Im staying at a hostel what is the probability i can convince someone to come with me?😅

Did you end up going? How was it? Planning a trip and may want to hit the Wednesday boat party

If you see locals backing away from people do the same. Roma’s are everywhere

Whats a roma?

The gypsies that perform 90 percent of the crime!

They don't tho. Also, the most aggressive, heinous crimes are usually comitted by white folk. The double- murder + rape in Szeged? White perp. The recent case of a husband killing his wife and keeping her body at home? White perp. The serial killings that targeted romas in the early 2000s? White perps. Magyar László, Bene László? White hungarians. Völner, Schadl? Again, white hungarians. Do romas commit the majority of theft or fraud? Might be, but we still don't have a single statistic to back this up. But the most dangerous and aggressive criminals tend to be born and bred white hungarians.

Romas commit the vast majority of petty crimes. His question was related to a boat party! The fences around everyone’s house are to keep thieving gypsies out! There’s a reason people step back from Romas in public!

It is changed!! Budapest is super safe! You just need your common sense as everything got cameras on the streets the crime lessened.
I bit of a “history” (still ongoing at some places)
They called gypsy in english (hungarian CIGÁNY), and yeah its possible to get robbed by them. Even if its sounds racist i myself had many bad experience with them when i was younger. One time walking home alone at night, a group of 5 romas walked towards me, one of them rushed towards me and hit my sholder with hes shoulder, than the rest come there and started to say things like - whacca doing whit my brother, you hungarian scum… i will stabb you you hungarian scum etc.. he tried to hit me in the face i blocked than i just run away that time….

Don't bother with him, roma is a certain ethnic minority here in Hungary and neonazi scum like this guy tend to blame everything on them.
Noricatpaws27@reddit
Of course it is. It is also quite a lot of fun :) Try them, they are cool: https://silver-line.hu 😎

Do not get drunk. There was a sad accident recently. One guy fell overboard.
BeautifulTale6351@reddit
And by fell you mean jumped.
BullRuh8@reddit
I don't remember the exact word in that post.
harylmu@reddit
Yeah, his cousin lied all over reddit to save his own ass. He jumped intentionally https://rtl.hu/fokusz/2023/06/05/amerikai-ferfi-halal-duna-baleset

How is the legal system different in Hungary? Generally speaking
cpfoutz@reddit
The parents should be prepared for a legal system very different from the US. Some lawyer will get rich.
browsinreps@reddit
Standard things
watch your stuff, just like anywhere else.
boat party? you mean the "budabestboat" or "unlimited prosecco" danube tour?
I assumed.
or just a party on a boat like A38?

As someone who works as a bartender on a boat party, they are safe and fun but the only danger is getting too drunk or mixing stuff. Staff will take care of you!
MokutoTheBoilerdemon@reddit
Yes, but you should be alert at all times, just like in an average parties. General things, you know, look out for pickpocketers and spiked drinks. And please, don't jump off 💀 There was an incident recently when a foreigner guy jumped into the Danube from a boat, you can speculate what happened :((
Main_Mulberry_7651@reddit
They’re safe in terms of pickpocket. The only danger is getting too drunk and lose consciousness.
MushyroomGirl@reddit (OP)
Omg💀💀💀 yeah i wont go for a swim i promise
hszazg@reddit
Budapest is one of the safest cities out there, no need to be more alert than the average. All the women in my life feel safe walking around the city even at night, something that cannot be said about a lot of other European capitals.
Pay attention to your drink + all the standard safety precations and you'll be fine.
reddituser_-1@reddit
except dont walk alone at night if your only information is from companies/random redditors saying its safe.
hszazg@reddit
Well, I'm sorry if you feel that way.
OP, if you give it the chance, walk around Budapest at night and you'll see for yourself. There will be hundreds of women walking around just fine.
MrAdventureTime@reddit
Many hostels will go together as a group. But boat parties in Budapest are a great way to see the city. Budapest is a generally safe city, especially staying in the Jewish Quarter
MushyroomGirl@reddit (OP)
Ooh okay i’ll ask my hostel!!
Sina7881@reddit
Its safe as in terms of u wont get stabbed but take the usual precautions like ur drink, pickpocketers and overall dont get too drunk since ur on a boat
Massage_budapest_V@reddit
Should be, but I had a client last week whose drink got spiked so watch out and be careful.
LadyNavia@reddit
It is just don't be supid enough to jump into one of the continent's biggest river (Danube). Basically: safe just as any other place.
Wombatsarecute@reddit
Sure, just do not jump into the Danube. It flows very fast and your chances of survival are not great. No matter what the waitress says!
New-Art4429@reddit
I’m coming down to Budapest from London for a week, arriving on Wednesday (14th). Happy to connect.
swiftmen991@reddit
If you hear a waitress telling you it’s safe to jump off the boat, she’s being sarcastic, its not safe
New-Comfortable9197@reddit
Of course, but do not jump into the river from the boat.
