Copenhagen, Solo travel
When I got out of the train and into (nearly) the city center, I genuinely was shocked how peaceful things were. So alive yet so quiet for the amount of things happening. I never had an experience like it. A good balance of zen and excitement.

I loved it. So many cool museums and buildings to check out. Cute vintage stores and ceramics stores are a must see!! I felt safe, even walked around at night but i don’t recommend that of course. But just to give an idea. I actually ended up extending my stay because there was a lot more to take in than I thought.

Amazing time in this incredible city. I felt totaly safe. It is quite expensive but it is worth it. Tons of things to do either cultural, fun, biking to the beach, taking a bus boat, wandering around...

Felt really safe, the locals helped me install their public transport app (great for moving around, don’t rely on others like google maps), the city was cold but wonderful, people were really friendly and polite, and food was comfortable, soothing. The nature is well preserved and litter is rarely seen on the road.

Copenhagen was the city I felt the most safe upon all my trips, very safe even during the night, amazing places, very chill and calm, not so touristic, but it was a treasure. Didn’t felt unsafe as a pari of women traveling there

Tinglev
The unsafe parts of Tinglev is in specific communities. If you don't buy drugs or weapons and avoid house parties, you're pretty safe. I have never heard of or experienced any innocent civilian being attacked or anything like that, but there is a bunch of underground crime going on.

Aarhus
Aarhus is generally safe. There has been a few people getting harassed on the streets, but it’s so few and not at all often. If you take normal precautions like don’t get in strangers cars and keep to bigger roads you’ll be totally safe. And even if you get in a strangers car og walk down an alley, the changes of you being safe are still very high

Generally very safe, but sometimes, especially in the nighttime in weekends, fights occur. You can walk alone as a woman, but together is better. During daytime you are perfectly safe and no or very lov pocketthiefts

Copenhagen
I live very close to the centrum of Copenhagen and I have never been worried about my safety not even at night. The only times I’ve felt nervous was when I lived outside of Copenhagen and had to wait for the train on the dark s-train stations, but here in Copenhagen I feel very very safe and I know that there are a lot of people around me who are ready to help if something happens.

Skagen
Skagen is a small town and everyone knows each other. It’s a nice town and I wouldn’t see it as dangerous at all to travel alone here. Everyone is nice. The only thing is some young boys driving scooters when it gets dark, but they are harmless and wouldn’t hurt anyone. They can just be annoying sometimes :)
