Copenhagen, Solo travel

I’m living just outside Copenhagen, and yesterday I randomly decided to do a one-day solo trip into the city… best decision honestly 🫶 I started at the Royal Library, walked through the garden behind it, then made my way along Strøget (literally my favorite part cuz all the cute shops?? I was obsessed), passed by Kongens Nytorv, Nyhavn, and ended up chilling by the Opera House. For coming back to the metro I hopped on one of the water buses, the same station in front of the Opera House, which...

Copenhagen, Solo travel

Copenhagen is a City you fall in Love with in the Summer. Definitely walkable & I rarely took the metro/train. Only to further out areas :) And it's super safe here, very very safe. I never felt uncomfortable to walk at night. Butgenerally I take an Uber anyway to go home when it's late.

Copenhagen, Family travel

Heyy lovelies🫶🏼 I was in CPH for 5 days over my birthday and it was very enjoyable. The sights were very nice, it’s a great place for a city trip even with family. If you’re looking to do lots of sights and museum tour, you should book the Copenhagen card. You pay a fixed price and can get into many sights for free. But there’s a calculator for that to see if it makes sense for you. Very recommended my me and my fam🫶🏼

This town is the safest you can ever imagine. Literally everyone minds their own business, and since it's a small city everyone is so amazing with others and they try to help each other if they notice something's wrong. I usually come back home after sunset and I walk my way home from the bus stop, I've never faced any problems anytime.

No issues walking there at night. I've lived there my whole life and rarely experienced anything while walking home at night. It's a city like any other, so you can be unlucky enough to bump into an asshole or predator, but it isn't a super common occurance

Generelly copenhagen is safe. But like many other capitals there is a lot of people, and some less fortunate than others. Generelly a good rule of thomb is if you see someone drunk acting out, dont look at them. But other than that a safe city, with lots of great spots.

About me

I'm a 20 year-old psychology student, doing Erasmus in Denmark and looking to travel around Europe. I do not put any rules on my travels because "You only live once" and I feel like it's worth the risk if the experience has a potential to be memorable and enjoyable.
