Hungary is open and travelable for leisure tourism right now. The main issues are ordinary city safety concerns like pickpocketing, plus occasional protests or traffic disruption; there is no sign of a Hungary-specific conflict or nationwide crisis. Travel demand is still present, though inbound arrivals have softened recently.
