Finally: Are street hookers, sex bars, etc all day long or just in the evening? I don't remember down in Budapest but you often see them by the side of the road when driving around. I've seen them in industrial areas as well, hanging about on the off chance. Some towns have "nightclubs" and they are pretty obvious places.
But it's obvious what they are. Bear in mind, they have minders usually close by. I've seen them dropped off by minibus and tough guys circulating by car every hour or so, around checking on each one and presumably taking the takings off them.
Not welfare checks as such. The street hookers are all gypsies in the UK you mistakenly call them "romanians" , and they're pretty much everywhere, if you'd go to the underpass at the nyugati railway station, you'll see a few of them standing around, waiting for customers. Sometimes they approach you on the street, especially in the evening. There are also sites for "freelance girls", videkilany. Just don't forget that the Lord Jesus is always watching! It's always men that know these things.
Thanks for the replies - Is it safe to say the street hookers operate only in the night i. The reason I ask is because I have been to other parts of Hungary where they operate late afternoon onwards and near shopping centres malls without a care for the general public i.
Also, are we talking about them operating in certain, tourist, districts or are they in virtually every neighbourhood? They're mostly around underpasses and shopping malls, and some roads in industrial areas, like Gubacsi street. They are certainly not in all districts. Don't know about less fancy parts of Budapest. On the outlying areas or industrial areas, they actually work anytime of the day. But I'd say, summer, from about 12'ish until sundown.
