Copenhagen was AWESOME ! I absolutely loved my time in Copenhagen! The city is full of beautiful places to visit from colorful streets like Nyhavn, to royal castles, cozy cafés, and peaceful parks. There’s always something interesting to see or do. What made my experience even better were the people..everyone was kind, friendly, and helpful. I felt very welcome and safe the whole time. Copenhagen has such a calm, happy vibe, and I’d definitely love to come back one day! And everybody speaks english, so u can easily communicate.
Posted: July 16, 2025I felt totally safe here! I recommend getting the Copenhagen Card so you get access to transit and a bunch of attractions. There are a lot of things you can do, but I definitely recommend going for a bike ride around the city. I made friends really easily at my hostel and online. The worst thing about it was that it was really expensive. I recommend countering this by buying food at the convenience store or supermarket. Their pastries are world-famous. It’s quite walkable.

The city is basically New York, but just: safer, less crowded, cleaner, and did I mention safer? Yes Copenhagen was a wonderfull place for a single lady. Also many many cafes offer opportunities to meet new people, like board game cafes where you can just sit down and join a game. Stand up comedy night are also frequent. Overall a pretty fun city!
Posted: June 10, 2025Rellay nice city, very safe, good food, clean etc but very expensive. Love louisiana museum and tivoli. The food was nice everywhere but i recommend Sonny and Atelier September for the brunch. The best cinnamon rolls of my lifeeee were at Mormors. The Hotel were very expensive so we stayed in a very nice Hostel called Steel House. However I do not recommended it if you are in family but for young people it's very nice.
Posted: May 29, 2025Copenhagen is very very safe even after dark. I never felt unsafe nor threatened in this city. The public transportation here is TOP TIER! The metros interval is less than 3 min. It is a very pretty city but I wouldn't recommend going there in the fall. The weather was too hard harsh for me to enjoy my whole trip.

I was in Copenhagen for almost a week by myself - i felt safe but was not out late. The transportation by bus is okey, but regret not renting a bike. Go to the museums - the K1 was amazing! Did a lot of trifting and it was a little overpized and curated for my taste.

There is ofc some worries you always will have. But in my 19 years in Denmark I have never experienced something really bad. I have always protected myself with always walking with friends or talking with a friend in the phone while going home alone.
Posted: July 30, 2025I find Copenhagen very safe. I’m not worried about the safety. I prefer to walk around with other people but it wouldn’t be unsafe to walk around in the afternoon alone. I would recommend visiting Copenhagen and I wouldn’t worry about the safety, if it was me.
