Aarhus is very safe to walk around at night. I live very downtown in Aarhus, and I always walk Home alone both late evening and at night/early mornings. I have in the 3 years I have lived here felt unsafe 1-2 times, and I love to go out and party alot. Aarhus is an amazing city!!!

It is a very safe city, not dangerous to walk home during the night alone. You can get anywhere on your own comfortably, people are helpful and trustworthy. It is always good to be careful with very drunk people or homeless, but even the homeless are harmless and there aren't many in Denmark in general.

Aarhus is one of the safest places, I have ever lived. People literally let their babies sleep in their strollers outside in the streets during the day. 😅 I have no problem of going for a run in the darkness and in two years, I have never had any problems with anyone assaulting me in any way. The only thing that regularly gets stolen in Denmark are bikes. So if you have a good bike, make sure that you also have a good lock. 😬

I lived 5 months in Aarhus, and I've never felt in danger even if I was quite often coming back home by bike in the dark alone. I was even not afraid being alone in forest or parc. The Danes put a huge importance in trust and you can feel it !

Aarhus is a really safe city, I spent 3 years here, a lot of walking and cycling around at night alone with no worries. I feel comfortable here taking the public transport or asking for help from strangers

In daylight there is nothing to be afraid of! while it’s dark don’t behave stupid, else it is in general pretty safe around Aarhus. i would keep away from the industrial harbour during nighttime as well

Aarhus is the safest place I’ve ever been to. You can walk alone at night without a single worry. People won’t stare at you, catcall or anything bad. Worst case scenario is annoying young males on the bus

Overall, it is very safe but late at night you may come across drunk and loud people, usually harmless, though. Crime is very low, especially violent crime. Beware of pickpockets like in any other city.

Aarhus is a university city. They have a lot of students and war families. Since Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world, the cities rarely have incidents about robbing, pickpocketing and so on.

The least safe is interacting with entitled drunk men in bars - or men who hide between nice words and feminist lingos but basically don’t know they are entitled AF. But as far as being approached by strangers, I myself have not experienced unpleasant experiences.

Is Aarhus safe to travel?

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
