Copenhagen, Solo travel
A very safe and clean and BEAUTIFUL city. I felt completely at ease here. Some fantastic food options if fine dining is your thing. Tivoli Gardens is wonderful to visit - and if you can head up the coast to see the castle it’s worth the trip! Highly recommend.

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
Copenhagen is safe in general (compared to other places), also for women and queer people, tho unfortunately with well known some precautions. During night time in the city center (KBH K) it tend to get uncomfortable and unsafe because men sometimes harass you, fx if you walk alone towards Nørreport, Kongens Nytorv or the central station. Some Danish people have a tendency to feel entitled to your attention, can get way too handsy in the clubs and take rejections hard. Again safe, as in mostly but with the dash of douchebag finance bros. I still definitely send location and have a friend on the phone. I prefer biking around at all times. I have walked back at night time many times towards Nørrebro and Frederiksberg without issues, it is mostly just that hotspot in the Center where I'd experienced unwanted attention. Of course parks after dark are not advised. Crime rate is low except for bike theft so remember to lock 🚲

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

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.
