There are pickpockets in all major cities and in Budapest. Generally go in pairs or in larger group. The task of one of them is to obtain money or some other value, the other is to divert attention.
Naturally this is possible first in such places where there are relatively many people in a small place. On these occasions the victim chosen moves more difficult and has to pay attention to several things at once. Fortunately the police also often at these sites, often in civilian clothing.
You can count on their appearance mainly in the 4-6 tram moving in the great boulevard, in addition to 7 and 173 crowded buses that cross the city, and the underground sections of the city center.
The shopping centers are rather dangerous time for Christmas shopping, but that internal security service usually works very effectively, as well as most of these places are completely full of cameras. Are dangerous places, from this point of view, most subways too.
