Often more women walk alone at night than guys, but do still remember to look around when walking at night. Stay away from big groups and dark alley ways, since people who want to be left alone occupy these spaces. Women are usually not bothered if they stay to themselves and follow basic safety rules. The city center is especially safe in the weekends. Public transport is good and safe.

I would say that Denmark generally is a very safe country. I don’t normally think about being assaulted in the night or daytime in any of Denmarks towns. Aalborg is a bit more provincial, but still feels very safe 😊

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

Aalborg i a very safe city overall. There have been some cases of kidnapping and knife violence, but most crimes are gang-related. Going to the clubs though the is a chance of getting drugged so don't leave drinks unattended. Some people drown in the harbor when they are drunk.
