Spontaneous hitchhiking trip to Denmark! It was random idea from my friend, so we met in Prague and the travel from highway to border of Denmark took us 11 hours! We met friends at island Romo, slept at the sea in our sleepbags few hours after we join some danish party near the coast, drank Czech beer in the Kolding, went for a midnight ride on bicycles to the beach, were afraid about our lives in some hitchhiked cars…and much more. Hahah but still I am really recommending this kind of trip

I guess the most expensive city in all around the Europe but so delicious food, good music, happy and kind people. December was very cold. Don’t forget to make your Lego and go to Tivoli gardens. City is very safe and walkable.

A very safe and clean and BEAUTIFUL city. I felt completely at ease here. Some fantastic food options if fine dining is your thing. Tivoli Gardens is wonderful to visit - and if you can head up the coast to see the castle it’s worth the trip! Highly recommend.

When I got out of the train and into (nearly) the city center, I genuinely was shocked how peaceful things were. So alive yet so quiet for the amount of things happening. I never had an experience like it. A good balance of zen and excitement.

I loved it. So many cool museums and buildings to check out. Cute vintage stores and ceramics stores are a must see!! I felt safe, even walked around at night but i don’t recommend that of course. But just to give an idea. I actually ended up extending my stay because there was a lot more to take in than I thought.

I wouldn't go through an empty park in the dark, but if there are others, then I wouldn't worry. It's a very safe, rich and chill city. Nothing has ever happened to me Take care of pickpockets around main attractions.

Honestly no issues at all, unless they are Swedish :/ Feels very safe at night and police respond quickly, there are safety guides in the nightlife as well. So if you want a hug or something they got you

It’s so safe that I have walk home alone from a night out in complete darkness without being scared. But we do have ghettos, so you should still be careful. Though I would say that the are pretty harmless, if you stay in your own business

Whenever I go to a café, I just leave my laptop out when usund the toilet or such. Also it is very common for people to leave their strollers (with their baby inside) outside alone. I’ve lived here my whole life and never felt unsafe - not even when going out alone at night.

Copenhagen is safe in general (compared to other places), also for women and queer people, tho unfortunately with well known some precautions. During night time in the city center (KBH K) it tend to get uncomfortable and unsafe because men sometimes harass you, fx if you walk alone towards Nørreport, Kongens Nytorv or the central station. Some Danish people have a tendency to feel entitled to your attention, can get way too handsy in the clubs and take rejections hard. Again safe, as in mostly but with the dash of douchebag finance bros. I still definitely send location and have a friend on the phone. I prefer biking around at all times. I have walked back at night time many times towards Nørrebro and Frederiksberg without issues, it is mostly just that hotspot in the Center where I'd experienced unwanted attention. Of course parks after dark are not advised. Crime rate is low except for bike theft so remember to lock 🚲

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.
