I took my first solo trip to Copenhagen and it was the best decision. Easy public transport, beaches, lots of things to do, and safe hostels. I stayed in the Bedwood hostel in capsule bad.

Solo travel experience

Copenhagen is a great place for solo travel, especially for an English speaker because there is barely a language barrier. It’s also extremely safe. I felt safe walking around, even at night. I enjoyed both Nyhavn Harbor and Tivoli in the evenings because it’s lively, with plenty to see and do. I really liked the Torvehallerne food hall for solo dining because you can grab a seat at the counter and there are lots of options.

Solo travel experience

I went to Copenhagen on a solo trip. The flights were super cheap and I stayed in a hostel. The city was quite expensive but it managed to do it on a budget. The transport was really easy to get on as well. I really recommend it.

Solo travel experience

I stayed in Copenhagen for a week. It’s very clean, very safe, has very good food and also is very expensive. I had a wonderful time and the city was great, but not very varied. I stayed in Christianshavn which was a great spot. It was easy to get around from there. I bought the Copenhagen Card which included transportation and lots of attractions. I met a couple of other solo female travelers who I hung out with.

Copenhagen is beautiful and very slow-paced which I loved. Super safe - was my first solo trip ever. Biking around the city is super therapeutic, with lots of lovely cafes and parks, and swimming spots. The people are so kind and speak incredible English.

Hello everyone, in May a friend and I went to Copenhagen for 7 days. We stayed at an Airbnb and made an Abonnement at Donkeys for bicycles. That was a good investment because Copenhagen is well known for their bicycles and that’s the best way to explore everything. We recommend to also buy a ticket for the Opera, for example Ballet if you don’t understand danish- one of our best evenings. For costs I would say it’s much more expensive than most cities but if you have a kitchen you can also make meal preps and save $$. When we were there many buildings were under construction- so if you are planning to go there don’t hurry, maybe some building are finished then. If you didn’t knew: Copenhagen is signed as the Architecture city 2023 - also if you are not interested that much in Architecture it’s still a must see. Much innovation and also good to see what the government does for their citizens to create a livable environment. If you want some recommendations for places etc. feel free to text me.

I really enjoyed Copenhagen. I thought it was a beautiful city and I liked being able to walk around everywhere without having to pay to see any of the sights. It is an expensive city but I knew that before I went so I was prepared.

I absolutely loved my week in Copenhagen, Denmark. I went by myself and was there a few days before my friend joined me. Denmark is beautiful with a rich history. The people are friendly and kind. Everyone speaks English so that was a nice surprise. I would still advise you to use common sense like don't walk down isolated streets by yourself especially at night and only go in professional cabs. Get the Copenhagen Card that gets you in all the castles and museums.

Solo travel experience

I really loved the botanical garden and butterfly room. I visited Tivoli Gardens and had a lot of fun. Walked around Nyhaven and took a canal cruise. Other than that, I visited the food market and did a self-guided walking tour that was enjoyable.

Copenhagen is an awesome city. Very progressive and safe, and I found Danes to be incredibly kind and welcoming. I recommend taking a canal tour by boat early in the week. You’ll see a lot from the water and can decide what interests you so that you can revisit on foot to explore more. Copenhagen can be really pricey, especially when it comes to eating out.
