Aarhus is a pretty safe city but like any city, you should watch out for bike theft as the number one criminal act that happens The city’s is pretty friendly also at night time. Of course, there’s always a chance of something happening if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I’ve lived here my whole life and have never had any problems. As long as you use common sense, Aarhus is a great place to visit or live without feeling unsafe.

I have not experienced any harm done to me while living here, but I think every woman know somebody who has, so I'm not gonna proclaim Aarhus is 100% safe. I genuinely feel safe walking around at night in busy areas in town

Danes are very no problematic. Their culture is based on trust and you can feel it in the society. My only worry is the immigrants as sometimes they demonstrate behaviors not so typical for danish culture. But it happens only in the outskirts where there are big neighborhoods mostly inhabited by imigrants

Aarhus is a very safe city with empathetic and helpful people. I am never afraid to walk in the streets at any time of the day, and public transportation is safe. Theft doesn’t happen often, and people are helpful.

especially the centre feels really safe. I think it's common for Denmark, but people trust each other, so I'm not scared of being rubbed or attacked. You can also leave e.g. jackets and bags unattended. Also, I barely experienced catcalling here.

Aarhus is a very safe place, both at day, also by night. You can go clubbing and still be very safe, just take care like usual, but you can go out even just as a girl. It’s very easy to contact the police if anything would happen and there are always people nearby to help

Is Aarhus worth visiting?

Family travel

It was pretty safe, it's a cute charming calm city. I recommend the deer park to the south of the city, with the beach next door it's a great walk. The museum not to be missed is the ARoS museum, a museum of contemporary and classical art visible from all over the city with its rainbow panorama. And don't forget to pass by the nice latin neighborhood.

Aarhus is a very cute city with something for everyone. It’s a very cultural city where you get a good insight into the danish everyday life. I was there during the AARHUS FESTUGE which is a week of cultural activity such as concerts and events
