I think it's a generally safe city, especially regarding being robbed/mugged. You can often leave your stuff if you go swimming, for instance, no one will take it. I think there's a risk of sexual assault, especially at the bigger music festivals during summer though, when people are drunk, so just be mindful of that. Otherwise, it's a pretty safe capital! (And not that big lol)

Copenhagen is a very safe capital city. People are friendly and welcoming, always willing to help. Most people are able to express themselves in English, so not knowing the local language will not be a problem for anyone considering to visit.

Copenhagen is a safe and beautiful city with high security. You should of course always think smart if you are on your own. There will always be idiots. But I have never had any bad experiences in my lovely hometown <‘3

I ask strangers to watch over my things if I have to use the bathroom, I can walk alone / use public transportation at night without the slightest fear that something may happen, you can dress however you like and still not have to worry.

It is generally safe, but be aware of your surroundings and belongings. Someone might steal your phone or wallet, but I have personally never experienced it happening in a violent way. I have been followed by men or grabbed, but shouting loudly usually do the job.

Is Copenhagen worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.5 /5

based on 64 experiences from female travelers

Family travel

Rellay nice city, very safe, good food, clean etc but very expensive. Love louisiana museum and tivoli. The food was nice everywhere but i recommend Sonny and Atelier September for the brunch. The best cinnamon rolls of my lifeeee were at Mormors. The Hotel were very expensive so we stayed in a very nice Hostel called Steel House. However I do not recommended it if you are in family but for young people it's very nice.

Copenhagen is very very safe even after dark. I never felt unsafe nor threatened in this city. The public transportation here is TOP TIER! The metros interval is less than 3 min. It is a very pretty city but I wouldn't recommend going there in the fall. The weather was too hard harsh for me to enjoy my whole trip.
