Is Copenhagen Safe for Women? Crime in Copenhagen

There are often workers in the metro during the night. Metro stops are all supervised by cameras. Many girls walk or bike alone during the night with very low chances of being harassed. CPH is the city I have felt safer so far.

Copenhagen is totally safe! You always need to think when you go out, but you have to do that anywhere. You can safely be out at night and people are kind and good at helping if something should happen.

Copenhagen is perfect city if you travel alone. You will find young people from all over Europe and other countries. I feel always safe when I move around city, also during the night! There are many place where you can joy drinks, table games, music or just relax like museum or Opera.

Very safe to use public transportation and walk around at night. There are a couple homeless people in the city center but it’s not bad at all. The crime rate is also very low and everyone is super kind and helpful.

Probably one of the safest cities in the world!! Perfect for solo girl travel, maybe avoiding a bit some streets in Nørrebro but otherwise Copenhagen is a charm city!! It’s usually quite touristy and locals are very relaxed and calm. I never felt unsafe in 6 years of living there :) Highly recommend!

As sexual harrasment is excisiting everywhere, ofc it is in Copenhagen as well. Other than that I feel quite safe walking around, its super rare that hard crimes are happening. There wouldnt be any neighbourhoods that I would say you should avoid.

Copenhagen is a very safe place to be, compared to many other places around the world. I feel safe walking alone at night, and i feel safe during the days as well. People trust each other. There are some gang violence once in a while that you read about in the news. But nothing that you should be worried about as a visitor.

Copenhagen is so safe, that growing up there, only a very few times I've been worried about my safety - it's so safe that you completely forget that in other places people worry about safety. One thing though, it makes you less street smart when traveling to other countries where safety can be an issue

Pretty safe, just lock up your bike properly. I can wander the woods alone at night and don’t have to fear anything. Wouldn’t recommend walking through a wood you don’t know without a map, but you get my point😅

Very safe and people here are willing to help or report if there is anything happening (mostly if it happens it is in the nightlife at clubs) as everywhere else in the world - in bigger spaces like fx the central station, make sure to have your phone inside a zip pocket or in your bag in a safe spot and be careful with your luggage. Overall i would say it’s safe - but take normal precaution

Group travel

I went to Copenaghen in March 2024, i went there to meet a friend i was staying a bit out of Copenaghen (20mns by train) i walked alone in this little city in the morning and was fully safe, i visited the city with him and my 2 other female friends, we also went alone a couple of times and always felt safe, it was easy to move around and everyone speak even a little bit of English. We all had a lot of fun!

Solo travel

I did my very first experience as couch surfer while i was travelling alone and I felt completely safe!! I loved the experience. Copenhagen is a very tidy and cleaned city, full of young people and full of things to do!! Many ways to enjoy the city.

Solo travel

I liked Copenhagen very much. It has a beautiful architecture. Its people are truly as happy as they say. It has clean streets, and there are free music events in the evenings in front of the City Council building. People are dancing and having fun. You can see many cyclists. Beer is cheap at the grocery store

Solo travel

The weather was miserable: cold and rainy the entire time, with some snow flurries. Everything is quite expensive, similar to Switzerland. The big food market was really cool, but I got food poisoning from the salmon. I really enjoyed the free walking tour, specifically the politically incorrect one. This trip helped me to decide that I definitely don't want to live in Copenhagen.
