Is Copenhagen Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Copenhagen

I would say that Copenhagen is one of the safest places to travel or live as a solo female traveler. I have never experienced anything that has made me feel like I’m in real danger. Its a bit hard to connect with locals unless you take the first step, because Scandinavians are very introverted😅

Copenhagen is a very safe city. Even the bad areas aren’t really that bad, and as a woman I feel totally safe here all day and night, also in the metro etc. It’s very easy to get around to and generally such a lovely city to be in!

Copenhagen is a very safe city. People mostly keep to themselves. It’s a big city and the capital of Denmark so ofc. there’s many people who think that they can say lots of stuff to women when walking by bars etc. I feel very safe tho and there’s always normal people at public transport, especially the metro.

Copenhagen is very safe, and you very rarely hear about crimes etc. I’m taking the necessary safety measurements especially during night, and the areas I don’t like to walk around at night is around Halmtorvet on Vesterbro (a lot of drug use and prostitution), Nordvest (since there are occasionally gang related violence), and Sydhavnen (no specific reason but it can make me feel eerie in the night).

I live in Copenhagen and can say that it’s really safe here. There’s even an article stating that is the world’s safest city (2021). There’s a lot of light here at night. There’s only one area I would recommend to be more careful in at night and that’s Nørrebro. Other than that then it’s really safe here :)

I only ticked some of the topics of being a bit worried, from a personal worry-point of view, not that I think Copenhagen is unsafe in any way. As in any other bigger city with a lot of internationals, there will be people that are not to be trusted, but I don't experience it being much of a problem. If you rent a bike, please make sure somebody introduces you to how you drive a bike in Copenhagen, the traffic and rules are something to be aware of.

In my experience Copenhagen is quite safe. My teenage daughter can freely walk around the city and go home by herself at night. Still some women feel unsafe walking around by themselves at night and we all take precautions when we do so.

is a city very quiet ! Is perfect for women travel because you can feel safe all day in all places.. the transport works very well and the people is nice. Is easy because all speak English , so you don’t need danish for come here.

Very safe to walk around and general safety is high. That said, ine should nit walk around alone drunk in the dark. Pickpockets still exist and target tourists or drunk youngsters once in a while. I feel safe in public transport.

Very safe. I have very rarely had any bad experiences. You can walk anywhere alone and not feel uncomfortable. People are helpful. There is a lot of public transport that also runs throughout the night.

Family travel experience

A week long trip wit hmy mother, we stayed at CPH studio hotel, it was very comfortable and close to the metro station and Lidl. near there was also a beach we went to walk by. We visited Tivoli, Glyptotek, and took a boat tour! We also went to eat and shop around. I felt safe because we were sightseeing in the daytime and early evening and i was with my mom, and i took evening walks near CPH studio, overall lovely experience, we were visiting during April and it was very windy so that was annoying at times, and there was a group of guys who i guess tried to talk to me because i had a kiss mark on my cheek as a makeup look, but it was a very quick interaction and it wasnt bothersome, copenhagen felt very safe and me and my mom had a nice time visiting!

Group travel experience

I went to Copenhagen with a large group. Honestly, it was EXTREMELY safe ( I am a black woman for reference). There was never even a second that I felt unsafe. I was out with one other person walking back from a dance club at like 3am and there was no sketchy activity or anything that made me look over my shoulder. It was beautiful in the summer. Coming from the US, I believe the exchange rate was about 7 of their DKK was equal to 1 of our USD, and I felt that things were priced pretty appropriately, especially for a city center.

Solo travel experience

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 experience

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.
