Is Denmark safe for solo female travelers?

Denmark is a remarkably safe destination for solo female travelers. The crime rate is very low and locals are renowned for their friendliness and helpfulness. There's an excellent public transportation system which functions efficiently even late at night, and it's generally safe for women to walk alone. However, as with any travel, keep basic precautions in mind like avoiding less crowded areas during late hours and not displaying your valuables publicly.

How safe is Denmark for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

Copenhagen, Couple travel

Beautiful area, many cultural experiences, and delicious food. It was a pricey area and didn't have much for activities. I like adventure and a boat ride is about as much adventure as possible here. Worth a day visit.

Copenhagen was one of the most vibrant and fun cities I've ever seen. In the mornings, like other tourists, we explored the surroundings, and in the evenings, the streets were a different kind of entertainment. The food was fantastic.

Spontaneous hitchhiking trip to Denmark! It was random idea from my friend, so we met in Prague and the travel from highway to border of Denmark took us 11 hours! We met friends at island Romo, slept at the sea in our sleepbags few hours after we join some danish party near the coast, drank Czech beer in the Kolding, went for a midnight ride on bicycles to the beach, were afraid about our lives in some hitchhiked cars…and much more. Hahah but still I am really recommending this kind of trip

Kolding

Kolding is like most other danish cities quit safe. But of course always think of safety. I've been walking around Kolding at night and have felt safe. Most people in Denmark are kind and want to help if needed.

I wouldn't go through an empty park in the dark, but if there are others, then I wouldn't worry. It's a very safe, rich and chill city. Nothing has ever happened to me Take care of pickpockets around main attractions.

Honestly no issues at all, unless they are Swedish :/ Feels very safe at night and police respond quickly, there are safety guides in the nightlife as well. So if you want a hug or something they got you
