Is Copenhagen Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

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.

Group travel

Copenhagen 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.

Group travel

Great 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

Solo travel

Traveling 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.

Couple travel

We 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

Solo travel

I 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!

Solo travel

I felt safe in Copenhagen. The nature and the buildings itself were amazing . I also really like the local people here. for the food, I couldn’t find anything interesting but I tried some local food ..

Solo travel

Very nice city with lots of cultural stuff to do. I felt very safe and respected as a solo traveller. I met a lot of nice peoples in my hostel. We did things together and it was a grest experience for me travelling alone.

Couple travel

I was in Copenhagen before Christmas with a friend, the city was totally safe! But we felt like there are not much to do! Though we enjoyed the time we had there! From Xmas decorations, Tivoli gardens and we took a guided boat tour through the canals. We walked everywhere and only used the train from/to airport. We also went on a day trip to Malmö which I don't really recommend if you don't have plans what to do there! It was boring for us really! The food was great, especially the burgers and the cardamom pastries were so special! Also the vanilla cookies were amazing! We stayed at Steel House Hostel and got a room with views to the canals for 30 Euors a night! The hostel was very clean and provided great amenities for the price!

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.

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.

I 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.
