Map
Zoom in to explore specific areas. The map shows up to the last 3000 reported crimes in public spaces.Crime Types
This map covers only incidents that happened in public places (streets, parks, squares). The main groups are:
- Violence against people
- Theft and pickpocketing
- Vehicle break-ins and theft
- Vandalism and property damage
- Robbery and public disorder
This gives you a picture of where and how often different types of crime are reported outdoors.
Understand the Data
The map shows reported crimes, not all crimes. Budapest is generally a safe city, but like any big city, it's wise to pay attention to your surroundings.
How to read the map:
- Look for patterns and areas where more dots gather, not just single incidents.
- Remember that the data only includes what is reported to the police in public spaces, and it always has a one-month delay.
- This is a helpful tool, but it doesn't show every crime that happens.
For detailed official crime statistics, check the Hungarian National Police website or Eurostat. Our tool helps you explore the public information made available by the police.
Safe Transport
Picking a safe way to get around Budapest is important. Use licensed taxis or ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber – they have clear prices and driver information, so you avoid being overcharged.
