Copenhagen, Solo travel

I’m living just outside Copenhagen, and yesterday I randomly decided to do a one-day solo trip into the city… best decision honestly 🫶 I started at the Royal Library, walked through the garden behind it, then made my way along Strøget (literally my favorite part cuz all the cute shops?? I was obsessed), passed by Kongens Nytorv, Nyhavn, and ended up chilling by the Opera House. For coming back to the metro I hopped on one of the water buses, the same station in front of the Opera House, which...

Copenhagen, Solo travel

Copenhagen is a City you fall in Love with in the Summer. Definitely walkable & I rarely took the metro/train. Only to further out areas :) And it's super safe here, very very safe. I never felt uncomfortable to walk at night. Butgenerally I take an Uber anyway to go home when it's late.

Copenhagen, Family travel

Heyy lovelies🫶🏼 I was in CPH for 5 days over my birthday and it was very enjoyable. The sights were very nice, it’s a great place for a city trip even with family. If you’re looking to do lots of sights and museum tour, you should book the Copenhagen card. You pay a fixed price and can get into many sights for free. But there’s a calculator for that to see if it makes sense for you. Very recommended my me and my fam🫶🏼

Copenhagen, Family travel

Went there with my family and we had an absolute blast! I definitely recommend renting a bicycle for a day (we used Donkey Republic which is very popular throughout the coty & you can do everything in an app) and visiting Superkilen park as well as riding across Cirkelbroen, Cykelslangen and other bridges on bike. I promise they are a lot of fun to bike even if you normally don't enjoy riding a bicycle very much (like me and my family)! Plus you can also reach further away places you want to...

Herning is a safe city! I have never experienced anything unpleasant in my city. If someone has experienced something unpleasant, I would think it is because they have been involved in something. If you are just visiting the city, there is nothing to be nervous about in my opinion!

I often read on the news about injustice in the police force and women being assaulted. I haven’t experienced it myself here yet though. I love the city but live close to one of the dangerous areas but I’d still advice to not go near

This is a very safe city, I have been living here from Jan 2026 and will be here till May 2026. I have not felt unsafe, but I am decently tall so in case that factors in. Of course always be aware of your surroundings but generally there is not a lot of theft or cat calling and Danes believe strongly in social responsibility so great place to be a solo traveler just expensive.

Amazingly safe place for women! You can bike home from the dance floor in the middle of the night and feel safe 🌟 Catcalling and harassment is very uncommon. All of Denmark, it’s very safe to be a female solo traveler

About me

Hi! 26 year old girlie from Copenhagen, Denmark. I work for an airline and travel as much as I can - solo! Extroverted, smiling and loves to talk. I’d love to get some local eyes on different places around the world and meet new friends. Invite me to any kind of hangout and I’m likely down 🫶 I’d love to host too (I live in a studio apartment though haha) ❌ I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs ❌ (I also don’t drink, but am totally fine with others drinking and I love to party 💃 ) I have no pets - but love pets (especially dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits)

About me

I'm a 20 year-old psychology student, doing Erasmus in Denmark and looking to travel around Europe. I do not put any rules on my travels because "You only live once" and I feel like it's worth the risk if the experience has a potential to be memorable and enjoyable.
