Frequently asked questions
Is Kőbánya (10. kerület) safe?
Wandroz currently rates Kőbánya (10. kerület) in Budapest as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Budapest during the day and an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Budapest at night. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Budapest publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Kőbánya (10. kerület) safe at night?
At night, Kőbánya (10. kerület) is rated as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Budapest. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Kőbánya (10. kerület) a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Kőbánya (10. kerület)'s day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Budapest) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Kobanya, not Kőbánya (10. kerület) specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Kőbánya (10. kerület)?
Not an official government crime feed — Kőbánya (10. kerület)'s rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Kőbánya (10. kerület) well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
