Is Copenhagen Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Copenhagen was always a bucket list city for me, and as one of my first soli travel destinations I really enjoyed it! I stayed at NextHouse Copenhagen, which was a lot fancier (and priced accordingly) than hostels I was used to in other cities. Had I found a cheaper alternative, NextHouse would probably not have been my first choice, but it is an excellent “luxury hostel” that offers a very social atmosphere, group events, lots of in-house entertainment (gym, games, social nights) and is very accessible to the center of the city. The highlights of my stay were exploring Freetown Christiania (free) and visiting the Museum of Architecture (6€ entry). I recommend trying some local food as well, I know Nordic food often gets a bad rap in terms of blandness but Danish food offers lovely variations on pickled & preserved fish/veggies.

Group travel

I went to Copenaghen in March 2024, i went there to meet a friend i was staying a bit out of Copenaghen (20mns by train) i walked alone in this little city in the morning and was fully safe, i visited the city with him and my 2 other female friends, we also went alone a couple of times and always felt safe, it was easy to move around and everyone speak even a little bit of English. We all had a lot of fun!

I did my very first experience as couch surfer while i was travelling alone and I felt completely safe!! I loved the experience. Copenhagen is a very tidy and cleaned city, full of young people and full of things to do!! Many ways to enjoy the city.

Family travel

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

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.

I had a gratis time in Copen Hagen. If you like good food go to wallmans circus. When I was there I booked the dinner experience. You get a couple of courses and an awesome show. Every year a different theme. The sights are in good walking distence but you can hire a bike. That is safe and fast. Copenhagen has some thriftstores you can go to. Out of the city centre. You can reach them by bus or with the bike.

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

Family travel

Copenhagen, Denmark was an amazing country and experience for my family and I. We all felt incredibly safe, even walking around at night. Since we stayed there for a week, we got the copenhagen card pass which covered multiple attractions and transportation (I highly recommend). The transportation was efficient, on time, and fast, but be prepared to walk plenty nonetheless. We went to plenty of different galleries, and popular tourist sights such as the Amelienborg Palace, Reffen food market, and fun places like Tivol Gardens amusement parks, which I all recommend. If you’d like to know my specific recommendations, where I stayed, and my itinerary, feel free to message me!

Solo travel

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.

Copenhaguen was a very wonderful city, in which I felt 100% safe. I stayed in a hostel near the city centre which was good. The activities to do are very interesting like visiting the royal palaces or the round tower There are many free things to do and ser there like the Little Mermaid statue, Nyhaven port etc The only problem was that it was very expensive especially regarding food

It is a fairly safe country. Women can walk around as they please. There are allways the odd catcalling, but not in a scary way (just ask the person to shut up :) As in most countries a woman can be attacked but it is almost allways by someone they know, and seldom a stranger.

Copenhagen is generally safe. Just apply common sense like in all other big cities. Of course there are areas that are not as nice as others, but overall I have always felt safe in Copenhagen, and I've lived here almost my entire life.
