Pretty safe city I wouldn’t walk alone a night anywhere in the world, but it should be very safe to do so in Copenhagen Public transport is pretty safe as well and people seem to be aware of each other’s safety and surroundings in general

I find Copenhagen and Denmark in general very safe. People are helpful, but they respect your personal space. It’s quite clean everywhere, and there aren’t many drunk or homeless people around. People don’t whistle at you.
Posted: July 30, 2025There is ofc some worries you always will have. But in my 19 years in Denmark I have never experienced something really bad. I have always protected myself with always walking with friends or talking with a friend in the phone while going home alone.
Posted: July 30, 2025I find Copenhagen very safe. I’m not worried about the safety. I prefer to walk around with other people but it wouldn’t be unsafe to walk around in the afternoon alone. I would recommend visiting Copenhagen and I wouldn’t worry about the safety, if it was me.
Posted: July 26, 2025In copenhagen it really depends on the area. Generally everywhere is safe in daylight, and at night the citycenter is pretty safe because of the sheer number of people. As long as you use common sense at night then you should be fine: walk with a friend and on busy and well lit streets. And if you take transport then sit in the most filled part of the train. Just keep where other people (women) are.

Felt really safe, the locals helped me install their public transport app (great for moving around, don’t rely on others like google maps), the city was cold but wonderful, people were really friendly and polite, and food was comfortable, soothing. The nature is well preserved and litter is rarely seen on the road.
