There aren't many dangers in Budapest (at least not more than in any other big city) but there are some things good to know about so you can...well...save some money! :) Don't never use a taxi which is not belonging to one of the bigger companies (6x6, Főtaxi, Tele5, etc.). To independently working ones are usually the so called "hienas", who settle down near railway stations and so, and overcharge the foreign customers. The best is to order a cab by phone or to wait for one which is belonging to a company. Don't let the people at the stations with "Taxi" sign on a paper lure you to a "No label cab". It may also be a good idea to ask the cab driver about a price. Between any central railway station and any hotel in the central districts (unless You arrive to the Buda side and go to a hotel in southern Pest) the price shouldn't be more then 5000 forints or even less.
