Trekroner is like coming home after a long day after work. There's a lot of young people around, cause the university of Roskilde is max 10 minutes away. The only complaint is a lot of parties 😂. You can easily raid a family in Trekroner or have friends over without worrying

Copenhagen is a very safe city. Men can be inappropriate when drunk. But that’s about it. People are drunk in the street though. There’s always people in the street, lot’s of tourists and people are friendly.

It's actually a very calm city compared to bigger ones. I live close to the center, so I can sometimes om the weekends hear a few people walking outside and talking, a bit drunk as they walk from one bar to another, but nothing bad. I don't really go partying, so I don't know how that would be, but usually, even that is pretty calm and uneventful as most people stick to their own group and remain polite. Personally, I've not yet had a bad experience here with people. I also live on the 4th floor, so it's very safe for me

It is quite safe. You can easily walk home alone at night when in centrum of Aalborg. I feel very safe as a woman. Something big like rape or murder maybe happends to women once every 8-10 years, so very safe

Aalborg is incredibly safe, I have walked around with my phone in my back pocket, stumbled around at night, and not once have I been scared. Aalborg is incredibly safe when it comes to the lack of crime in the area
