How safe is Denmark for solo female travelers?
Copenhagen, Solo travel
My vacation in Copenhagen exceeded all my expectations. I had no idea what to expect but I was so flashed with the city and all the things you can do. I was there in the beginning of November and the Christmas markets started to begin and overall the city was so lovely decorated in lights. It was especially beautiful, when the sun set. I felt very safe in the city, people were really nice, friendly and helpful. I can recommend a trip 👌🏼

I traveled to Copenhagen for my first big solo trip and I absolutely LOVED it! The city is super walkable and there are so many things to do and see! I was nervous about my first solo trip but I felt very safe and had no concerns throughout the 5 days I spent there!

I went on vacation a lot in Denmark, but Copenhagen was a first. I went to a few museums and did a tour by boat. Also went to Tivoli. 10/10 experience, would do it again. I never felt unsafe and the people were lovely!

Multicultural city. Lots of people. It was quite the experience crossing from Sweden via train into Denmark. I am not much of a city girl, I love nature more. My travel companions wanted to see Copenhagen, so I found myself there. Lots of sculptures and art. Make sure you do a boat tour to see the different types of architecture of the city. Watch out for the little mermaid sculpture on the shore. And while on the boat tour the bridges are low so watch out for your head. There is also a city...

Day-trip with my friend on our way back home from Rome (we went for a crazy route, haha). We had to carry our backpacks with us the whole time, but we enjoyed the city anyway, and special thanks to hop on bus😁

Copenhagen was amazing ! I remember only positiv experience 🤩 Danish are just so kind ! Me & my friend just landed and arrived in the city, 2 different people came at us to help us without us asking🥹 the city was also very lovely ! And very easy to travel to Malmo, Sweden.

The experience was overall amazing. There is a unique thing about CPH: the air feels clean, the food was really good, the people are friendly, and the atmosphere draws you in. I would love to visit it again.

Lived in Aarhus for Erasmus. It was super safe (if you don’t get in the unmarked taxis) and easy to get around if you have a bike! Molleparken is the cutest park by the River and AROS is super pretty!!

Copenhagen was actually my first overnight solo trip! It was a very good one for me. I felt very safe and I met nice people. I didn’t know what to expect when i first planned the trip😊but it turned out so well

I just returned from my first solo trip to Copenhagen, followed by a day trip to Malmö. Copenhagen was packed with things to do, and it was a blast, though it was definitely the priciest place I’ve visited in Europe. Malmö, which is just a 50 minute buss ride away, was much more relaxed. There aren’t many attractions or activities, but the sea is absolutely stunning. You’ll find benches everywhere, perfect for sitting and soaking in the view. After burning myself out with 40,000 steps a day in...

Is Denmark safe for women?
Copenhagen
Copenhagen is mostly pretty safe, to be in. Only in a few areas can feel a bit unsafe during nighttime. There are many people around almost everywhere, which makes it feel safe if anything happens, and people are normally willing to help if anything is needed

Holbæk is a very nice town, with a lot of cool stuff to do and see. Safety is low for Denmark, but its rare that dangerous stuff happens. But if you ask me, then i feel more safe to go out in Copenhagen, than in holbæk. The people are much more welcoming and sweet, than in holbæk.

It’s my hometown and it’s very safe, after a night out I would not go though the park alone as a girl because there have been people that have been raped there a couple of times, but during the day and with others it’s completely safe

Copenhagen is extremely safe, I can literally walk around at 4am completely alone in a dark area and absolutely nothing happens. Very safe for women, people are really respectful, even petty crime and pickpockets are super rare.

Very safe. I walk alone at night in all populated areas no problem. I like nørrebro and nordvest , at they feel very safe. The only places i wouldnt go is out of the center at night, but really its no problem

Generally, I think Copenhagen is one of the safest cities in Europe. Yes, be aware that pick pockets exist here, but they’re everywhere. I would also advice you to be aware of your own physical safety by watching out for bicycles- and please don’t walk on bike paths.
