Copenhagen is a very safe city. Men can be inappropriate when drunk. But that’s about it. People are drunk in the street though. There’s always people in the street, lot’s of tourists and people are friendly.

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.

The city is basically New York, but just: safer, less crowded, cleaner, and did I mention safer? Yes Copenhagen was a wonderfull place for a single lady. Also many many cafes offer opportunities to meet new people, like board game cafes where you can just sit down and join a game. Stand up comedy night are also frequent. Overall a pretty fun city!
Posted: June 10, 2025Rellay 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.
