My trip to Copenhagen was amazing! I fell in love with the city from the moment I arrived! The city was very clean and beautiful. I felt safe during the night walk (around 9-10 pm) and didn’t see any weird people around the center. The weather was a bit windy but it didn’t ruin the experience I had. Highly recommended for solo travelers 🫶

Copenhagen was the first place I did my fully solo trip, and it was a learning experience! Great city! Walkable and nice vibe! Felt safe everywhere, but I was mostly in the city centre! Great people, good food, lovely pastries 🍰
Posted: April 5, 2025Experienced: September, 2023The city itself was kinda safe, but it was necessary to avoid some shady parts of the city. In the dark, there were some groups shouting on the streets, probably drunken tourists. I personally went to Christiania, which, to a solo traveler, felt sometimes scary. I got cat called once there. But it seemed like a group of male tourists who went there just to get high.

I love Copenhagen! And me and my friends had the best time! We never felt uncomfortable or unsafe I would recommend reffen, the food and the vibe are just amazing! And I would also recommend to just to walk everywhere or take the subway.
Posted: March 3, 2025Copenhagen is a beautiful and very safe city. I recommend seeing as much as possible and trying the cinnamon rolls and kardamomo rolls. I stayed in a hostel with private bathrooms and a high-up view of Copenhagen. We got around on foot to see as much as possible and explore the city's hidden corners.
Posted: March 1, 2025Experienced: November, 2024Great place with a lot to do. Was for a couple of days and loved it. Great public transportation and felt very safe.. the only downside is that it can be quite expensive. At least 2 days are needed to see most of the city
Posted: February 24, 2025Traveling to Copenhagen was my very first solo trip. To be honest I did not expect to like the city, I couldn’t be more wrong. The city is beautiful, clean and safe. I’ve met amazing people there, they were friendly and helpful.
Posted: February 19, 2025We felt very safe and the city is beautiful, I would recommend renting a bike. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the weather as it can be extremely cold this early in the year. You should also consider the prices in Copenhagen cause Copenhagen is really expensive
Posted: February 16, 2025I can recommend the Andersen & Maillard bakery! I loved the sourdough buns with cheese. Also the generator hostel. If you don't find anybody to stay with, go there. They have only-female rooms. I loved it so much!

It is generally safe, but be aware of your surroundings and belongings. Someone might steal your phone or wallet, but I have personally never experienced it happening in a violent way. I have been followed by men or grabbed, but shouting loudly usually do the job.
Posted: March 24, 2025I have never felt that safe in any city I lived in or travelled to ! It is one of the country with the lowest level of criminality. I never heard of any risk living here, apart of having your bike stolen. However, I imagine that, like any place in the world, there is still sexual harassment and sexual abuse in some places here... But I didn't experienced it for now.

Hello! I'm Pil, a 25 year old woman aspiring to travel the world and everything it may bring me. I have earlier lived in Athens for 1,5 years, working as customer support for Google. It was an adventure as a 19 year old, and I can only recommend it! I now live with my sweet boyfriend in Copenhagen despite me being a true 'country-gal'. I am currently only working, but will hopefully, in a year of two, begin my studies as a veterinarian or marine biologist. I hope this will bring me further into the world of wonder and take care of our surroundings. Other than all of that, I enjoy taking different courses and certificates to improve lifeskills and opportunities later in life, so I currently have the following: - Driver licence for tractor, scooter, car, and motorcycle. - Speedboat certificate - Hunting licence and weapon permit - Scubadiving certificate - First Aid course - Extended fire safety training course - Scaffolding training - Epoxy course

I'm curious (hey, I'm a woman, so that typical, I know!), I love to travel, but I can't do that all time, so I love to meet other travellers on my home turf. I have 3 master degrees, first in geology, then environmental management, and this year, I added law to the collection. I love to do practical things, so my husband and I partly build our house and our summer cottage. The difficult and important things like masonry, roof and windows, and plumbing were built by others. We did the rest. My husband died of cancer in 2022, but I have my son, daughter-in-law, and my grandson from January 2023 who have given me the appetite for life back from the very dark place I was in. Don't worry, I don't show pictures! My friends' ages range from 35 to 80, age is just a number ... I can talk with most people, I'm curious to learn about others, what make them tick, and learn from them. That's what I love about travelling. I live 8 km from Town Hall Square in a subsurb. Copenhagen is a small city but with many concerts and cultural events that I enjoy, but it's more fun with company.
