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.
Posted: September 20, 2025Experienced: May, 2025I 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.
Posted: September 17, 2025Amazing time in this incredible city. I felt totaly safe. It is quite expensive but it is worth it. Tons of things to do either cultural, fun, biking to the beach, taking a bus boat, wandering around...
Posted: September 16, 2025Experienced: April, 2025Felt really safe, the locals helped me install their public transport app (great for moving around, don’t rely on others like google maps), the city was cold but wonderful, people were really friendly and polite, and food was comfortable, soothing. The nature is well preserved and litter is rarely seen on the road.
Posted: August 18, 2025Copenhagen was the city I felt the most safe upon all my trips, very safe even during the night, amazing places, very chill and calm, not so touristic, but it was a treasure. Didn’t felt unsafe as a pari of women traveling there

I live very close to the centrum of Copenhagen and I have never been worried about my safety not even at night. The only times I’ve felt nervous was when I lived outside of Copenhagen and had to wait for the train on the dark s-train stations, but here in Copenhagen I feel very very safe and I know that there are a lot of people around me who are ready to help if something happens.

The safest city I have ever lived in. Everything is very well lit. There are always people out and about. The metros run 24/7, and are very safe and easy to use. There is very little crime (other than bike theft and some pick pocketing) and no weapons, so I feel very safe.
Posted: September 23, 2025I would say Copenhagen is pretty safe. I don’t live in downtown Copenhagen but I honestly feel more safe after dark in the central area than in the surburban area I live in (which is considered very safe). I have live here my entire life but have never personally had a scary encounter of any sort in Copenhagen.
Posted: September 15, 2025There's always people around, especially in the city center. It's super safe to take public transport, even at night. I grew up in the suburbs, so I have always had to take the bus or train home if I were out late, and I never experienced anything even moderately uncomfortable. That said, I am a six foot tall woman, so I am about the same height as an average Danish man, and that obviously makes a difference in who I find intimidating.
Posted: August 23, 2025I would say Copenhagen is overall safe. I’ve never experienced something uncomfortable, like being touch or anything like that I public transport. And I only once experienced a drunk man, being a bit too much, as he kept trying to talk too me, but some other men told him to leave me alone. I feel safe walking on the streets no matter time, but of course there certain places you should avoid at dark.
